Marsha's Log: Best Deal of the Weekend

Tweet

As you know, Saturday was the city wide yard sales in the little town where my middle daughter lives. It was a lot of fun going to I don't even know how many sales. There were over 80 of them! The very first one, I spotted this bag of fabric and thread. I asked how much. I hope you are sitting down because I know you could have knocked me over with a feather when the lady told me 25 cents!!! Yes, I got everything you see in the picture for just a quarter!! Other good deals were a toaster for $2. Some maroon fabric for 75 cents, a large piece of felt for 75 cents, a bag of 8 slightly used spools of thread for $1, a seat cushion for $1, strawberry plants for $1 each, a new pillow for 50 cents, a set of 4 new bed risers for $1, a pair of cute sandals for $1, a bag of batting for $1, a black and white bandana for 10 cents, and 2 boxes of tea light candles for 25 cents each. I spent money buying 2 baby hats for my oldest daughters baby boy on the way for just 25 cents for both of them....and then 2 cute outfits with monkeys for $3 total. I picked up what they used to call a Johnny Jump Up (I think) for $3 for Amelia to enjoy. I was totally exhausted from all the walking and my back ached, but oh how much fun to actually get to spend time with family and find bargains on things needed. After I got home I had to drive to another town and pick up yard sale items from a church member.....leftovers from their sale that she donated to put in our church rummage sale next month. Yesterday was church and movie afternoon and church...then a very long nap, so that's why I missed 2 days being here!
