Another Post About How Much I Love Yard Sales!

Haha! One of the many things I love about summer is it's yard sale season! We had our own yard sale a few weeks ago and did pretty well. We made about $100 which I was very pleased with (put that right into Lexi's collage fund!), and we got rid of a lot of junk, which I enjoyed even more! It's so freeing to just purge the house of a bunch of stuff we haven't even touched since our last yard sale 3 years ago. (I know because somethings still had price tags on them!) Oh, and to think about 3 years ago... I was fresh off my first loss. We had our sale a week after and I remember sitting there trying to run the sale, but all I could think was, "I'm not pregnant. I'm not pregnant. I'm not pregnant." 

That's also the weekend I met my one friend. We have an odd friendship/ acquaintance. I feel like we're pretty similar on the surface, but underneath it's weird. She tends to stand up for off the wall causes and is pretty "Fox Newsy". Which I'm very "NBC Newsy" if you catch my drift. Then there's also the fact that she's a FH (fertility hoe) and a wet pee stick waiver. (On a side note, I was watching Jeopardy the other night and one of the categories was "F.H.", as in things that FH could stand for. I was like, Fertility Hoe!!) Three days after she announce her first pregnancy, wet pee stick in hand, I found out I was pregnant again, too (loss #2). We had the same EDD and everything... But of course, today she has a two year old and I don't. Her and her DH are starting to try for #2 now and she actually complained to me the other day about how long it's taking... It's been two whole months and she's not pregnant yet... I mean, it only took one try to get KTFU the first time, so why is it taking so long now???? Yeah, I wanted to slapabitch...

But I digress...

$2.50 each!

Yeah, I love yard sales! Where else could I spend under $13 and get a whole grocery bag full of super nice clothes for Lexi to grow into? I was actually in need of 24m/2T sleepers for her and I priced them out at both Carter's and Children's Place. With free shipping and all the coupon codes I could find, it was still going to cost $50 for 5 sleepers... That's sooo expensive! Who pays that?? I don't think I've ever spent that much on pjs for myself! I actually didn't find any at the yard sales, but I did find some on eBay. I got 6 sleepers for $17 shipped. Higher than I'd pay at a yard sale, but not terrible.

Everything in this pic cost $12.75! Boo yeah!

I'm planning to go out yard saleing again this Friday. I love catching a good deal!

Lots of Love,
