Saturday I headed out one last time to a huge Chicago rummage sale to do my shopping for Tommy’s summer clothes. I came prepared this time–a laundry basket, a camping chair for my 2.5 hour wait beforehand, good reading material (last time I just had my Bible and read the entire book of Ezekiel, which is nice and all, but a little much in one sitting). Anyway, it was great–I spent a little more this time because of a few non-clothes items, but all the clothes were $1 or less. Here’s what I got for $46:
Derek totally didn’t care when I tried to show him, for for those of you who do, that’s
5 pairs of 3T shorts
6 pairs of 4T shorts
1 pair of 4T pants
2 pairs of 4T PJs (I said I’d never buy licensed character clothing for my child, but if Lightening McQueen PJs help Tommy use the potty before bed, I’m willing to do it.)
4 3T tshirts
7 4T tshirts
1 4T long sleeved shirt
1 4T swimsuit
4 pairs of socks
2 pairs of shoes–water shoes for the pool/beach this summer, and tennis shoes for the fall
2 bags of warm weather tights for Elizabeth
5 sippy cups (I took them out of the packages for the picture)
2 snack catcher cups
2 packages of safety latches
*contented frugal homemaker sigh*
that is most impressive. i went to a community garage sale this past weekend at a church near us and it was such a let down! glad you got some great deals!
Wow! Seriously great deals. I’m with you on the cartoon PJs. I’m considering buying Dora the Explorer underwear for E as an incentive to potty train. 🙂
I was the exact same way about character clothing! Aidan also has a pair of McQueen jammies and Thomas too! 🙂
As a fellow discount shopper, I am super impressed!
