Garage Sales

It's another beautiful day here.

The sun is shinning, the birds are chirping,

 the grass is green and it is garage sale season!

  One of my favorite places to pick up items for shoe boxes. 

Here are a few of the items I picked up last weekend.

 

6 pack of underwear for $2.00. 

Still had the original price which was $6.95

Packs of socks. $1.00

Hello Kitty rings and 2 bracelets .25 cents

Paperclips-free (we use these when we divide packs of loose leaf.)

And these three items were all taped together for .50cents. 

 

I also found quite a few stuffed animals, balls, pencil cases.

The fun thing about garage sales is, you never know what you will find.

 

Giant Tiger Clearance.

Giant Tiger is clearing out.  I found t-shirts for $2.00. 10-14 boys shoes for $2.00 Plus some girls shoes for $2.00.  And the best buy- 10 pack of girls underwear for $3.00.  You need to be very careful with what you buy, as some items are exactly the same, but their code is different and they are not on sale.  I found this in the shoes and underwear.  It's best to ask.

Immeasurably more than we ask of imagine!

This morning I prayed for great deals on shoe box packing items.  My boxes are done but I was asked to head up our packing party at church.  So on our small budget I asked God to let the money go far!  And God exceeded my expectations.  We drove to a different town known for their great thrift store. And great it was! I found  a few sets of brand new beads for .50 cents each.  And each set I was able to divide and will go into 2 boxes.  So .25 cents for beads for girls! And a whole bunch of other stuff, which I can't remember at the moment.  2 bags full for $8.00. 
Then we went to Fields.  This can be hit or miss.  But today it was great!!

They are clearing out Fruit of the Loom underwear.
3 prs of underwear for $1.00!  I have never seen underwear that cheap.  And it's good quality too.

And they were clearing out shoes/sandals.  All these were for a $1.00 each!  The lady asked if I was buying out the store:)

They were also clearing girls shirts for $1.00.

This verse kept running thru my mind this morning.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. Ephesians 3:20.

Thank you Jesus for wonderful deals!

If you live in Southern Manitoba and are looking for pencil sharpeners, as Dollarama in our area is sold out, the dollar store in Altona has 6 pencil sharpeners for $1.00.  And also 3 pencil sharpeners for $1.00.  They also have marbles and a lot of other items that Dollarama is sold out of.

Happy Packing!
