I love yard sells!



So when I was growing up I learned a lot of great things from my mom. One thing that my mom taught me was how find a bargain. I guess it was because she had to support so many kids all by herself that she became resourceful! I know Jared loves the fact that I always try to find deals....but sometimes I buy stuff just because it is a great deal and not like we need it!:) I am working on that one! Well, I will often look for garage sells if I am out and about on a Saturday morning and I have found some great deals! I am grateful that I can buy toys and clothes for my kids for very little. Our budget is tight and it helps to be frugal! So, this weekend I went to a garage sell and scored BIG! I bought videos, books, toys, and clothes. The Levis and shirts were all $.25! Heck ya! Let us just say...I have Christmas taken care of! I know a lot of people would never buy used stuff, but when cleaned they are new to me! I can always use a deal! I am grateful to my mom for showing me how to be humble enough to live within my means so I can provide a good life for my family without spending a lot of cold hard cash! Anyways, I just HAD to buy this adorable rocking chair for $3. I know it is kinda expensive but, it was so cute! Jared says it is kinda girly but, Mason doesn't care! :)

I don't think the rocking chair is girly, but the baby doll in the background might be. :) I need to go with you on some of your hunts!
