I was so disappointed, we went to a town about 25miles away, yeah, big savings. Dd is staying there at the college so I combined a trip. Anyway, there were signs EVERYWHERE with addresses but we had no idea which direction to even start. So I spent most of the day just driving around and getting lost. I did find a church rummage sale so I did pick up

2 nice bowls
pair shorts for dd
2 cooking magazines
1 homemade game board, for the game sequence.

total spent....... 15 cents!!

I stumbled upon a yard sale while on my walk, without meaning to (in my development). I got two Superman T-shirts for ds#1 for 25 cents each! I actually had to go home and get the 50 cents and come back for the shirts! LOL

I found a book that I had JUST ordered on Amazon for $.50. I bought it, and then when my order comes in I'll return the book back to Amazon. That saved me over $10!
