I've picked up some good deals the past few weeks and thought I would share. As I have mentioned before, I am constantly on the lookout for winter coats, hats and stuffed animals at yard sales because I collect all of those items for various organizations. I won't consider purchasing anything unless it's in pristine condition and cheap affordable. 😊
I now have 11 more coats to donate. All are in perfect condition. I paid $1.50 for each adult coat and 50 cents for each child's. Our church has a drive in September, so I stockpile in anticipation.
I have three more hats for the drive (25 cents each)...
and two more pair of children's boots (50 cents a pair).
I found this picture frame (for a quarter) and this tin container (for a dime). I can use both things for crafting.
A few more stuffed animals came home with me (regular ones were a dime and the 36 inch duck was a buck).
Last, but not least, is my biggie. Pet strollers are becoming more and more popular for animals with arthritis and other health impairments. Last year at our annual pet walk for charity, I noticed several and so I sort of considered investigating them since one of my own cuties has arthritis and does not walk distances too well (let's be honest---she doesn't walk long distances at all...and it's not all about the leg stiffness!😉). Pet strollers are expensive, though, and start at $45. When I spotted this one at a sale, I checked it out. It had been only lightly used, in excellent condition and I paid $6!
She's not sure she likes it, so I am slowly introducing her to it. Her sister prefers walking, so she won't ride in it.
Have you found any good bargains lately?
