Garage Sales are coming to an end with winter coming. My sister and I found a lot of stuff this year. Actually, this has been my best year since the kids have gotten older. I can't count how many times we have hit the jack pot. Recently Ray scored a Carhart Winter Coat in excellent condition for $1.00!! When he grabbed it, it didn't have a tag on it, so we decided we would take it up and ask. I was thinking $5 or $10, I about lost it when she said a $1. At another sale Renea and I went to, they had game boy colors with chargers for $8.00. We snatched those up, you still can't buy them off e-bay for that much. I put mine up for Trevor for Christmas. Eric already has one. Now we're picking up and looking for games for them. I have picked up picture frames & wall pictures anywhere from .50 to $1. American Eagle clothing ranging from $3.00-$1.00. A pair of Ralph Lauren jeans for $3.00, which I sold on e-bay. Books for the kids that were in excellent condition. A pair of Puma shoes for $3.00, a pair of reeboks & Nikes. Rays been on 2nd shift for 2 weeks, so he's been going with us. The first Friday he was on 2nd, he said he wanted to go to sales with us. I told him (joking) I wasn't sure if he could go, who said you were invited in our garage sale club.
I didn't tell him in till he was with us, that it takes us awhile to find the country garage sales because we never know where we are going or where the rural roads are. It's quit amazing, we drive all over, turning around after awhile to try the other way. Deciding its on the other side of town. My sister has a GPS tracker, but she doesn't know how to use it for county roads. So we guess and usually if we don't find the one we are looking for, we find others that weren't listed in the paper. Not sure what we'll do Friday mornings once garage sales are over with.
