Re: What frugal thing did you do today?
Went to a garage sale.
I asked the man how much he wanted for a gorgeous mirror. Oh...3 or 4 bucks, he said. I told him, 'Sold at $3.00'. The silly!!! I told him you know better than saying it like that don't you? Yeah, he grinned sheepishly. But I still get it for 3 right? Yah, $3.00!! OKAY, deal!!
Got CashHappySon five pair of designer jeans for $10.00.
CashHappySon picked up a FREE dresser with mirror. Looks like Drexel Heritage...very, VERY nice!
The guy overheard us talking about the end tables he had for sale...CashHappySon wanted them for when he moves out...I asked if he had the money in HIS 'Moving Out Fund'? He ended up buying the end tables very high quality oak for $25 for the pair.
While I went home to get the truck...we were just down the street...the guy started asking CashHappy about his moving out...by the time I got back the man had given him the dresser! YE=HAWWW!! Free and he's that much closer to independence. His new to him furniture is now stashed in the basement. The dresser he got could easily sell at an auction house for $200. TOTALLY MARVELOUS DEAL!! They felt really good about helping the kid out!
I love dealing with men at garage sales. I always get the best buys from them!!
YEAH MEN!!
