Yard Sales and Thrift finds

Me and mom went to yard sales this morning. Their are sooooo many where we live. We could never get to all of them. I bought a few things this morning. I got pretty much a whole stack of blank cd's for 1.00!! You know how much those run in stores. I am always needing them for pictures or music. I also bought a cute little wallet for a 1.00. Then the following below. In all I spent under 5.00!! I didn't buy much today. I love yard sales. Why pay full price? I love the hunt and the deals!!!

I love Amish fiction and I found this pretty wall hanging and got it for .75 cents!!! So simple and peaceful!

 A picture frame for .25 cents and the cutest little Angel I just had to have for .50 cents!

 This tin I didn't get today,but wanted to show it. I found it at a thrift store the other week. I use it to store all my handwritten recipes. I love it!!!

I love Summer only because it's Yard Sale season!!!! Other than that I can do without the heat..lol :)

A great day of deals...

I hope everyone is having a Joyful Labor day weekend!! Today is the first Saturday of the month and that means in my area it's 50% off everything at Goodwill. So I went when they first opened this morning. It's their most busy day. I actually got a dressing room to try on shirts by getting there early,that never happens:) I got 6 shirts,1 pair of Pajama pants and 3 books for about $19 and some change. You just can't beat around $2 for clothing. I never hardly buy clothes new in a store. I hate the mall to be honest. You can just get so much better deals at yard sales and thrift stores!!

Some books I bought!! The Amazing grace one is a devotion and stories behind the hymns book. They all look like good Christian reads. Plus I have seen Courageous,but never read the book!!

Then I came home and gave my 2 dogs a bath and then I washed my bedspread. 

Then I decided to go to the other Goodwill in the area in Fort Campbell. This location is always packed and never any carts by the time I get over there. Today though was my lucky day. A sweet lady gave me her cart when she was loading up her stuff by the front because none were inside. Then the line is usually backed around the store,but I got through fairly quickly today. I found 3 pair of pajama pants,2 shirts,2 books and cute small photo album all for $13!!! 

This is the cutest cookbook I got for a 1.00. I love the look of the old days like this and it's filled with great recipes and stories:)

So all in all it was a great sale day. I love good deals like that and Monday the other thrift store in town is having their 50% off sale. I might try that one too!!! 

Happy Saturday everyone!! Have a wonderful Labor day!!!

Weekend Thrifting and Yard Sales!

If you know me and read my blog,you know I love me some yard sales and thrift stores!! This weekend was awesome with the sales! It was the first Saturday of the month and in our area that means 50% off whole store at the goodwill,so I went to 2 of those in my area:) So Friday another thrift store was having 50% off day and I went there and then I have been meaning to stop by this other thrift store I have seen so I did and to my surprise it was having a 50% off sale too. Then I went to yard sales on both Friday and Saturday!! One yard sale in my neighborhood gave me this cool food slicer thing for a 1.00 and the man we seen at kmart the other day showing the same thing in a different brand was selling them for $28.00,so I think that was a deal!!! We are a military town here and people are constantly moving,so there are always wonderful yard sales out on every corner!! Here is some pictures of my finds!!

 Got all these clothes at varies thrift stores. Shirt were around $2.00 and a pair of blue jeans and Capri's and pants for around $3.00

 Picked up the books from different thrifts and yard sales. Ranging from .99-$1.49

 Thrift store find the pocketbook above for $3.00. I am going to use as a cosmetic bag and the pocketbook below was just so cute for 1.00 at a yard sale and it's Old Navy

 Yard Sale Find Wallet and Pocketbook together for $3.00!!

The bible cover was a cool find at a yard sale for $2.00

This bible was just a really good sale! I have been wanting one of these purple ones and found one at Lifeway for $5.00 on sale and it is KJV!!

Hope you enjoyed my bargain finds!! I hardly ever buy new for me it has to be on Clearance,Yard Sales or Thrift Stores!! I like the Duggars motto "Buy used and Save the Difference"

Amish Baked Goods and Yard Sales

Me and mom explored our new area today and went yard sale hunting. We had a great time and found tons of yard sales. I got two pocketbooks and a address book thing...so cute:) All for the grand total of $3.00:) That is why I love yard sales.

As we were heading down the road we passed a little stand and there was an Amish man and his two sons selling Veggies,Breads,Jams and Sweets. We turned around and went back. It was my first time seeing a Amish person. I love reading Amish fiction and learning about the lifestyle,so I was excited when I got to meet them. I just love to hear them talk:) I bought some Raisin Cinn.Rolls and my goodness they were delish. Simply heaven:) I am usually not a sweet eater but these were good:)

Hope you all are having a great 4th of July Weekend!! God bless:)

I have my own ornament collection that I have packed in a box in my room and just love different and cute little ornaments. Well I happen to see one of the ones in the middle row below in the picture and I ask the lady how much she wanted and she said .25 cents. I was like yay!! I started going through the box and found more and she let me have all these for $2.00!! I love them!! My favorite ones are in the middle row. They are not paper there breakable. I was shocked she wanted so little for them:) I am in love with my new ornaments for my collection!!!
