I have a soft spot for good sales, whether they be at the local retail store (I bought way too many Gymboree shirts for my daughter when they were on sale for $3.99) or at a garage sale. If something is cheap at a garage sale, I may buy it even if I’m not sure that I’ll use it.

We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year). My daughter-in-law came up with this idea, buying bulk pumpkins and bulk flowers. Once the kids left home, we ended up with zero trick or treaters at our house on a state highway. No kids = no parties or haunted houses = money saved.

I used an old seat cushion I had and wrapped it with brand new material from another garage sale to pretty it up and make it softer, then stacked new throw pillows I found at yet another sale for $.50 I had purchased a much smaller (less sturdy) one at Walmart for $20 – my daughter-in-law inherited that one.

My 5 year old grand daughter did it last year in my Grandma Rie’s Money Camp. Shop garage sales and thrift stores and estate sales. Christmas decorations, wrap, bows and ribbon all are continuous offerings at pretty much every garage sale, thrift store or estate sale I’ve ever shopped.

You can check out garage sales as well if you don’t have any old pots and pans. And yes, they can draw on the ground, but it’s always fun to have draw on their very own homemade chalkboard – especially my daughter who likes to play teacher! I love this idea and can’t wait to try it! Outdoor Chalkboard. Via Hey There Home.

I was introduced to the idea of Resurrection Eggs when my first daughter was very young. I found some at a garage sale one day and we've been using them every year since. They're a wonderful way to keep the focus on Christ - when the world tends to focus on bunnies, chickens, and eggs at this blessed time of year.
