Garage Sales!!! YAY!!
Today, I rode my bike around the surrounding neighborhood garage sales. First I visited the bigger houses south of 135th street and on my way home, I hit some north of 135th street. I had a lot more luck in the northern less ritzy sub-divisions. In the photo below you can see the catches of the day. Eight movie posters at $3 a poster. I just cannot wait until my husband gets home, he is going to flip! A Vtech Touch and Teach Turtle $1. That was the best name they could come up with? A metal sign that says, "What part of meow don't you understand?! for $2. A quotation stamp, "Dreams are the touchstones of our characters." ~Thoreau $2. Made me stop and think, what are my dreams? Devoid of dreams right now, other than car and house. I need to work on some better dreams. Pink size 24 month pants from Sonoma for $1.50.

Woot!!
I had a very productive day shopping at Savers, which supports the Big Brothers and Big Sisters. I spent $25 at the Nall and 95th St. location and about $45 at the store off 135th St close to Blackbob after a 30% off coupon from a lovely employee at the first Savers. These are the two best locations in my area (KS and MO). This is my favorite purchase of the day...okay, favorite two purchases of the day.

The Original Locker Bag by Ogio
Purchased for $5.99
New Price $35.00
I found a similar bag used on ebay. I can't really compare it to the newer ones which are priced at $65.00, but I would definitely consider buying from this company because this sturdy bag will be an awesome carry-on for my upcoming trip to CA. That's why secondhand is great, you find out about products you never even knew existed.

Last Christmas I took my two cats home with me. One carrier was tight quarters with our big guy Gulliver hogging most of the space. Here's how it went, poop=vomit=more poop and more vomit=unpleasant car ride for all involved. Needless to say, I needed another pet carrier. Glad I kept an eye out because this is nearly identical (holes on side sunrise vs waves) to our other carrier and it is much easier to get cats in through the top than traditional front door.
If you want one just like it...
