The Kitchen Table

I Got Some Good Deals Today!

17 years ago

I am going though my closet and getting rid of some of my old clothes. I bought myself 11 brand new tops with tags and two pair of pants for $.50 each. I also bought 3 fleece brand new jackets for $1.00 each. Two hard cover big cook books, Taste of Home each for $.50. Twelve waffle weave no slip place mats for $.10 each. I am going to put those under my foam topper to help keep it in place along with the shelf lining I have under there. Amber and I had so much fun! That is the only sale we went to. A really nice, I think Fireking yellow cookie jar for $2.00. It has yellow and red fruit painted on the side. A good collectible. I just love going to her sales! Anyone else been out and about going to any sales?

Oh my gosh, when I was young, my Mom sent me to the store to get milk with a $20 bill. I came back with those 2 tall decanters those exact same colors!!!! Flashback! You made my day! Kirk P.S. Mom kept the decanters, but I had a sore bottom! LOL

I have all 3 of these on my wish list! That top one! Hopefully it's not too terrible to ask, but what did you lose? Are these new ones replacements or completely new? I had issues with heat wave this last summer too. I was trying to not overwater, but it was endless heat and roots died and we are all recovering now. XD

You did great ! I saw an ad for a garage sale July 11. I'm planning to go and will let you know what I get. Last year I got some great old cookbooks, and a brand-new shower curtain and iron.

There were only 8 Garage Sale adds in the paper for today, so I didn't bother. People around here take "Going To The Lake" very seriously for Independence Day!

Those were some really great deals you got!

Didn't go today. I usually wait until Friday. There's not a lot listed in the paper for tomorrow, but it only takes one GOOD one! LOL

Spent most of the day cleaning up and loading the stuff that I have to take to the flea market booth.

Sounds like you're ready for stylin' and profilin'! You did good!

I am going to bed early so I can go out again in the morning with Amber. Yes, it only takes one good sale to make me happy! Hope you all have some good sales to go to soon.

I scan Craigslist for garage sales daily. Some are great. Some are not. Craigs allows the person to list almost all the items they are selling and you can get a "feel" for a sale before driving all the way to get to it. I have found that if they list a lot of baby clothes and toys they are not going to have a lot of furniture and housewares or any 'collectibles'. I never find my size in clothing at a garage sale. I have great luck finding clothing at Goodwill though.
