Bargain Bins

Bargain shopping is one of my favourite things to do.

Last weekend, I spent only $23 and purchased for my little girl a boardgame, 3 sets of flash cards, 2 dresses, 2 shirts, 2 books, and a camp chair.  The only thing I was really hoping to find, which I couldn't, were size 7 toddler shoes - not that she really needs them now, though.  But it would have been nice to find some toddler shoes for her next size up.

I love bargains, especially for baby/toddler/kids things.  Babies grow up so quickly, and you could easily be saving hundreds of dollars each year if you buy used, or take hand-me-downs.

My city holds a city-wide garage-day sale, where residents can register their home with the city and hold a sale on a specified day/weekend.  This is to help celebrate Earth Day, to promote the three R's - Reduce, Re-Use, and Recycle.  I love this day, and I'm looking forward to more bargains.  Like they say, one person's garbage is another person's treasure!  And who doesn't like to go treasure hunting??  :)
