    I simply love yard sales! I bought a bunch of stuff for the baby today for less than $10.

    WTG on your buys

    I stopped by one the other day and bought a pressure canner for $3 and an Oster blender for $4. Dd#2 was thrilled with her blender. My first official garage sales of the season.

    Wow you all are doing great at the yard sales. I'm not shopping at the right now, still having them myself. I just finished my 6th one this weekend since Feb. 27. Man am I tired!

    I hit a really good garage sale yesterday. I bought seven new shirts for myself, and three new handbags (I mean BRAND NEW) one was an American Angel leather bag for $3. Some of the clothing still had tags on it. I got DH a ROLF leather wallet, still in the box, for $1. It was the best garage sale I have ever been to in my life.
