Yesterday I went to my first garage sale in decades. For some reason, my mom was never into garage sales, so I don't have garage saling in my blood. I went with two good friends, who are also fabulous moms, to 2 community garage sales to search for baby gear. We had a great time looking for treasures and here are a few of the things I brought home: A jog stroller, $20; an umbrella stroller, free-thanks Kristin; a baby sled with sides and a seatbelt, $2 for all of our snowy adventures next winter; a snuggli carrier, $3 to carry our little one around Addis and London; lots of baby clothes, ranging in price from 25 cents to $2; about 12 novels, from 25-50 cents since I will be a stay at home mom next year and reading a lot! So what do you think? Not too bad for a first timer!! (This picture is kinda what we looked like on Saturday:)

The baby gear will come in handy, but I don't know about the books!!!! :-)
i'm a die hard garage saler -- and it seems like you bought a lot og great stuff! my most recent garage sale find this past weekend was an air popcorn popper for $1 and the game "perfection" for $2.
good job. my parents NEVER garage saled either, but I recently bought several cool things for Eden at garage sales. It does feel good, doesn't it?
Get used to it...garage sales and second hand shops are wonderful. Not sure if they have mom to mom sales in Colorado, but they are wonderful around here. I bought Hannah a big pink house for outside for $50 and grandma's basement is the big hit with the grandkids...all garage sale items. I must agree with Paula...good luck finding the time to read the books! :)
