The weekend before last, there were sales all the way up and down Harvard Street, just a couple of blocks away, so after breakfast Liam and I headed out to see what we could come up with.
My love of yard sales has been rekindled...to say the least.
I came up with a baker's dozen articles of clothing (including a Ralph Lauren polo shirt and a Baby Gap denim jacket) for 50 cents each. Gently used clothing, by the way, has the added bonus of containing much less residue from pesticides used on cotton...and, again, 50 cents each...what is that? 5 percent of the original cost of some of these things?
I got a couple of annoying electronic toys that mister loves, a Boppy pillow, and a bunch of books.
I also found this...
For those of you unfamiliar with this contraption, it is a Jumperoo. They retail for close to $100, depending on the bells and whistles. This one was $10 and a moment of my spare time to wipe it down (it's barely been used). Score.
I'm going to have to start getting the Friday paper to check out the sales.

I love the jumperoo! A friend of mine found one for us sitting next to a dumpster on base. I know, I know... I cleaned the heck out of it so have no fear.
Alex looooved his too! We had the added bonus of not having the little sound thingie. ;)
I can take that thing off all together or just turn it off, so it's not that bad :)
