This last Saturday, I decided to go rummage saling. Ted & I babysit for our god-daughter quite a bit, so I have been looking for some items that we could have at our house for her. Some of the things that I have been looking for include a stroller, a car seat and some outdoor toys. The first rummage sale I went to on Saturday had a stroller there that looked like it had barely been used It was a little dirty, but just looked like dust from sitting for a while. I picked that up for $10.00! I did clean it up and it looks awesome now. I went to quite a few other ones, but didn't find anything else.
Later on that day I was riding my scooter to the gas station and I seen another sale that wasn't advertised. They had a car seat there! It was only $5.00 and was quite dirty. I just took the cloth parts off the car seat and threw them in the washer and now it looks like a brand new car seat! This is one of those things that I probably would never buy at a rummage sale because of the safety reasons, but since I won't be using it a lot I think that it was a good purchase! The brand-new ones in the stores are so EXPENSIVE. I couldn't justify spending that much money on something that we only use once in a while.
I did find some cheap bubbles, sidewalk chalk and a plastic golf set at Wal-Mart - so we do have some outdoor toys for her to play with when she is at our house now! But, now that I have a stroller we can just walk the couple of blocks to the park or go to Storybook Land.
