Garage sales are my favorite but I also go to flea markets, thrift stores and auctions. I am always on the hunt for furniture to paint, stuff for myself, my house, my kids and unique items that I could put to future use. I love the thrill of finding something that was once very expensive for as little money as possible.
In this series, I will share my scores to show you how much you could get for your hard earned money. Some days I hit jackpots, some days I get nothing, but I always have fun.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
- Two wire shelves $.50 total
- Canvas beach bag $.25
- Wood tray (for my kids to use in the car) $.50
- Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 1 $.25
- Bag of turquoise color beads $.25
- Two Tupperware containers $1 total
- Brand new head phones $1
- Quilt coverlet and plush blanket from How To Train Your Dragon movie $1.00 total (can never have too many extra blankets)
- Pink plastic case (for my daughter) $.25
At the Sunday auction I scored these two pieces. Both the table and trunk were $1 each. So far my son wants the trunk, but if he changes his mind, I plan to add casters to the bottom to make it a coffee table. Of course I will paint both pieces.
