Free Stuff

Our 4th address was our final stop on Saturday (the 5th ended up being an auction preview). The information I got online had said all our stops of the day were open 9-5, however when we showed up at this house, the sign outside said 9-3... it was about 3:15. The garage door was still open, and there were people milling about, so we decided to check it out anyway. We got to the garage, and a man told us they were about to close up, but if we saw anything in the garage we wanted, we could just take it for free. We had less than a minute to scan through what was displayed, and as we were told to leave we each grabbed something.

1. Ed's - The Sound of Music.
2. Ed's - Dr. Dolittle Soundtrack.
3. Mine - an old Polaroid. I have a small collection of old cameras - usually they aren't cheap, which is why the collection is small. I was excited to nab this one for free. (Soon enough they'll be on display, however they're all back in Pennsylvania. I was worried about them getting broken so I never packed them.)



Free stuff? A great end to the day.

Happy Thrifting!

$2 Box

On our way to our 4th and 5th destinations on Saturday, Ed spotted a church community yard sale in a field off the highway. We made a detour and headed straight for it (obviously). As we walked closer to the crowd of people and junk, a volunteer told us that we could fill a box, any size box, for $5. Needless to say, we grabbed the biggest/sturdiest box we could find and got to pickin'. (And boy, was it hot out.)

As you can see, it was the end of the sale, and everything was strewn about. We were literally looking through piles of stuff. Lots of things were broken - it was basically all the leftovers from the day.

So what's in the box?

A thousand piece puzzle, a pack of 10 animal puzzles, two books (Bad Idea and The Templar Salvation), a wooden bowl, two plates, John Denver's Greatest Hits, three rectangle photo frames, and one oval photo frame.

And when we got in line to pay, they only charged us $2. Score!

Happy Thrifting!
