Celebrating our morning with Starbucks hot chocolate :)
I enjoy finding deals. I head to the clearance end caps first when I go to Target. I love using a coupon on TOP of a sale. And, stumbling across a REALLY good yardsale? Well, that makes me positively giggle like a school girl.Â
I love going to yardsales, but rarely do. Two reasons…Lainey and I like my sleep on Saturdays. But, a very nice and very large neighborhood near us was having their annual neighborhood yardsale this weekend. And, a gal in our homeschool co-op was having one of them, and rumor had it there would be lots of girl clothes, all sizes. We headed there first and spent an HOUR at that house alone. We walked away with arm loads and, as we drove off, we giggled and screamed for joy. (see, I really do giggle…)
The next few sales gave us some great items, too. Some the girls are saving for Christmas presents (shhh…). Marley probably found the best bargain of the day.Â
Marley has been needing a new bike for a while. Her hand-me-down from Abbey almost has her knees in her chin when she rides it! We found this bike today, she gave it a test drive, and it was a go. Best part? It was $7. Cha-ching!

Great pictures !! Great price on the bike too. Did Marley haggle with them for a better price? I love finding deals anywhere. I love yard sales (but rarely go now). I hate grocery shopping even if I do have coupons (especially where you have to buy 2 of something). This is perfect time of year for great yard sales.

This is where you guys were when I called you yesterday from Chimney Rock!! It was extremely WINDY when I was talking to you, and only had time to ask what kind of cameras you & Abbey had, as mine “expired” at a very un-oppertune time!!! No, I haven’t gotten the camera yet, as we were with 3 other couples and I didn’t want to take time out of our trip to look for a camera and the correct memory card, etc. Will get one this week!
Great photo of you 3 “girls”!! Wow, how wonderful that you got loads of stuff at these sales…it would make me giggle and laugh too…that ALWAYS makes women and girls feel SO GOOD!!! Marley, you did TERRIFIC on your $7 bike! We’ll see it soon when we come down for Thanksgiving…can’t wait!! Christmas presents, huh? (Shhh!!) By the way, other than my camera knocking out, we all had a great time, and the trees were BREATH TAKING… ahhhhh!!!
