Friday Finds

Since, fall is just around the corner and L is starting to outgrow his 12 month clothes it seemed like the perfect time to do a little shopping. This week there were two consignment sales in our area. The first one was held at my favorite consignment shop. The second is held by a company that holds these sales twice a year. The later is a serious sale...I mean people come armed with rolling trash bins to hold their finds while they shop. The sale room is over 10,000 sq feet. It's serious!

I hit up both of these sales looking to build a base for a fall and winter wardrobe for L. In addition to these sales I also got a few pieces from Goodwill. We literally had only 2 or 3 pieces in sz 18 months for him. I wound up with more than 30 pieces and I did not pay more than $5.00 for anyone piece. Every piece is either brand new with tags or in excellent condition. These are the brands that I purchased.

Okay, this is where things get a little fuzzy as to what I paid for what. I wound up with 10 complete outfits. Some of them came together, some of them I pieced together myself.

1 Adidas Jacket ($1.50) - retails for $40.00

4 pairs of athletic pants various brands ($1.50 - $3.00 each) - retails for $4.00 - $10.00 each

I also bought a few pieces that we either already had something to go with them or that could be matched to pieces in the above photo.

I also found two cute items for Halloween.

I also got 2 pairs of shoes

1 Longhorn pair from Payless(1.00) - retails for 12.99

1 pair of Converse (6.98) - retails for about $30.00

(The Converse shoes were the only item I paid more than $5.00 for)

All in all here is the breakdown

Baby Consignment #1 - spent $44.00 but...I had a $37.00 credit so technically I only spent $7.00

Consignment Sale #2 - spent $23.00

Goodwill - spent $15.00

So the grand total that I spent was $45.00 and I saved...well, hundreds!

Happy Shopping!
