Yard Sale Saturday



We had another great day going to yard sales today. The weather was nice and cool at 67 degrees and it was a little overcast, so perfect weather.  I walked almost one mile going to the sales. I got out at each and every one too. In years past I would stay in the car usually and let Bailey go shop. Today I brought my cane just in case I needed it, and felt no pain in my knees. 

On a side note, we went to a church yard sale and I saw one of the teachers I used to sub for and she gave me a big hug. It was so great to see her. 





Here is what I bought today...




This is a Lymphatic Drainage Massage Roller Stick, which sells for $19.75 on Amazon, but I bought for $1.00 today. I have been wanting one of these to help with scar tissue from my knees and my lymphedema, so I was tickled to find one. 


This is a URBNFit Exercise Ball, brand new in the box, which sells for $29.99 on Amazon. I paid $5.00 for it today. I've been wanting one of these to strengthen my core and help me with my balance. I am also looking for a two pound ankle weight to simulate an exercise she had me do this week. I know I will find one eventually as I see them regularly. 

Here is a group photo of other items I picked up today. 


The books were 50 cents and went right into the McKay Used Books box to be traded as they will give us more money for them and we in turn will trade them for books that we want to read, a win-win trade. 

A clock for the kitchen since mine fell down this winter and broke, only $2.00. 

Twelve pint canning jars marked at $6.00, but I asked her if she would take $5.00 and she did. So, 42 cents per jar. 

Four drinking glasses for when we have company as we don't have any nice glasses for guests. All of our cups are specialty cups for us to use. I got four of them for 50 cents each. 

Five pairs of pants in my new to me size, which I'll wash and try on and give to Bailey to sell if I don't like the way they fit. They were all $2.00 a pair. 

A drain hair catcher for the bathtub was 50 cents. We desperately needed this as I have to unscrew the drain every month and clean it out, so I hope this helps with that issue. 

Two crossbody bag purses, which I am loving these days because they help keep my hands free to use either my walker or cane. One was $2.00 and the other one was $3.00. 

The lady who I bought the drinking glasses from gave me this LOVE stamp bag for free to carry my glasses in, which I thought was very nice of her. 



So, these are all the things I bought today. Some were needed and some I wanted, but provided me and Bailey with a couple of hours of entertainment and fun on this beautiful Saturday. 

I don't list the items Bailey buys as she is buying for herself and her business. 

How about you? Did you get to any yard sales today? Did you find any treasures? If so, I would love to hear all about it. 


Thank you for dropping by my frugal blog, you are always welcome here. 

We would love to hear all about your yard sales adventures in the comment section.

  1. You got some good items, especially those canning jars. We use workman's glasses like you got for our everyday use. I love them, they are heavy duty.
    I do not ever go to yard sales because I am getting rid of stuff rather than adding to it, but there is nothing I really want nor need. I think I might like a bread machine and if I got one I had rather find a used one somewhere but I am not wanting it enough to pull the trigger and actively hunt for one

    1. I love the idea of a bread machine and have had more than one before and then sell them because I don’t use them. But I still love the idea. Call me crazy. 😂

      I really like those glasses because they are heavy. No chance of them breaking from being fragile.

  2. Great finds. Your recovery is going so well because you're doing the work! I use those razor gripper things, packs of 5 are like $4 at the hardware store to get the hair but if I could prevent all the better. We all have long hair -even my son.

    1. Thank you, Sam. I am loving being able to walk around, I just have to get my balance right. I have some of those razor things too and they work well. They are really good for getting cat toys out from under furniture too. 😂

  6. You found so great deals! It's finally starting to warm up here, so the garage sales should start popping up in a few weeks.
