This weekend I hit up some more garage sales. I find it's best to know when a town or area of the city is having multiple sales as it increases your chance of success. This past Saturday was the garage sale day for Island Lakes in Winnipeg (Whyteridge area is also a good one, always the Saturday before Mother's Day). It means getting up a 6am as I have a 1.5 hour drive into the city. But I also scored some deals for myself and was able to visit a friend in the hospital, so definitely worth the trip!
- New set of hair barrets and headbands for 50 cents
- Beanie Babies in packaging for 50 cents each
- New cars pencils for 25 cents
- Skipping ropes, marbles, tiara, large bouncy balls for 25 cents
- Thomas train and monster truck for $1 each
- Wooden X's and O's game for $1
- Fuzzy socks were free...brand new found in a bag of hand me down clothing my friend passed along to me from a co-worker.
To find these things, I often looked in a bin marked 25 cents. Yes there is a lot of stuff I didn't want. Pieces of stuff, obviously used things and just general junk. It takes time, but there is usually a few treasures that work well for shoe boxes. Either new in packaging or things that look new. The thrill of the chase...always so fun. ;)
