“Cha ching”

Oh glorious spring time, my favorite time of the year. My brother and I headed out early in the morning to hit some garage sales… baby needs some new clothes!

Travis stayed in bed and the kids stayed with him. It was nice to be “free” for awhile. I had to be back by 10am though for Travis to leave for class. We hit 4 sales and oh my goodness did I hit the motherload! Only 1 of the sales was a bust. Brian got 2 really nice lazy boy type rocker/recliners for $50. I was mad because I wanted them, but he saw them first.

I needed clothes for Trevor. He’s still in 12 month clothes but his pants are way too short and his shirts are getting a little snug. I only had a very little bit of clothes from a freecycle member. Jayden also needed more clothes. We really only had a handful of girly stuff, and a bunch of unisex stuff from Trevor. But I ~REALLY~ want to dress her in girly clothes. So I went a little crazy! Trevor is now set with all he needs for 18 month size and I added quite a bit to the 2t, 3t, and 4t collection. Jayden has way more clothes than she really needs until 9 months.

By the time everything was washed I had done about 7 loads of laundry just for yardsale finds! I spent way more than I had intended (a little shy of $200) but considering that 1 of those things was a winter coat for Trevor, brand new with tags! It was a London Fog coat with a price tag of $70! Plus a ton of the clothes were Old Navy, Tommy, Gap, etc. Sooooo I figure that my spending was well justified. I can’t imagine how people can afford to clothe their children in only brand new, name brand stuff! That coat plus a few of the name brand outfits brand new would have been $200 easy! There were only a few things that I paid more than $1-2 for. And I’ll probably earn back my $ when I sell it on eBay.
