Garage Sales

Our Other $5 Find

June 12, 2014 by Andrew Leave a Comment

I wrote previously about how we walked around our neighborhood last weekend looking at garage sales.  This was the result of the other $5 that we spent.

It’s hard to get a photo of him because he is always moving!

Here he is mesmerized by the aquarium.  Just look at all that future baby proofing we’re going to have to do.  🙁

IMG_3711Like the Bumbo chair we picked up second hand, this entertainment doodad normally retails from $35-40.  Frugal Boy doesn’t know or care that it is used though!

Garage Sales

Frugal Boy is growing like a weed and now does things like drool incessantly.  Sometimes you’ll be holding him and feel a very wet, slimy dollop of drool land on your hand, arm, knee, or foot.  Kind of like this:

Our neighborhood garage sale event was this weekend so we had to go out and try and score some finds.  It was also interesting to see some parts of the neighborhood that are normally obscured from view like this homemade koi pond.

After walking up and down and all around we did end up spending $10.  $5 of that was for a bumbo chair.  They retail for around $40 and used on Craigslist they list for about $20.  This was one of the original models before the recall, but we were able to go home and get the safety kit sent to us for free by going to the recall website.

You’d better watch that mouth kiddo.  A fly is going to land in there.
