    Default Awesome Garage Sale Find

    DH and I have been wanting a treadmill, so we have been literally scouring G-sales for about 2 years. So, we finally found one. We stopped at this sale on our way home today and low and behold there was a treadmill. $25, but we were able to get it for $15. It works amazingly, even has a programmable board on it. Its older, but in really good shape. DH was also able to get a brand new sander (spelling) and saw for $50. Just had to share our awesome finds today.

    Oh great finds, I love garage sales.
