Best Garage Sale/Thrift Store snag?

numeria11

So the one thing I have discovered I love about the suburbs?  Garage Sales. In the city they are few and far between, at least for kid's stuff.

My best finds so far: 

Cozy Coupe - Free to good home.   However my child was being the spawn of Satan at that moment and refused to allow the thing anywhere near our car to take it home, now of course loves the damned things.

Little Tikes Picnic table with benches attached - 8 bucks perfect condition!  My kid actually let me leave with that one .

 So what's the best thing/deal you've found at a Garage Sale/Thrift Shop?

This. Great condition, it had lived in a playroom forever so no weather damage. 20$ last weekend!

We have a consignment sale that is every 2 months or so, and I always score something awesome.

This spring I got the L&L Kitchen (all accessories) for $14, and the Sit and Spin Zebra (retails $75) for $10. 

Sadly, I have had very little luck with garage sales this year, they are all junk in my area.  I really want access to a weekly flea market.

Peg Perego John Deere pedal tractor with front loader and sold-separately trailer! DH was driving past a yard sale, saw it and slammed on the brakes, then talked the guy down to $40. (They wanted $75).

My brand new petunia pickle bottom diaper bag that was $50, but it was a grey tag and all the grey tags were half off that day,  so I got it for $25.

DS's most cherished item - his blue blanket (or "Nee Nee") was acquired for free from a garage sale by my SIL. I almost threw it out... DS wasn't even born yet and had TONS of blankets already. 

I've found a lot of quirky, funky shirts and skirts for myself at Goodwill.

I just wanted to buy a crib ha ha

Stupid bump mobile took out my dollar signs and cent signs.
That would be one dollar each for a my brest friend nursing pillow and boon frog toy holder for the bath.
Also I love when sales have kid clothes for ten cents each.
