Take Time for Lemonade: Cheap Cards and Bear Biscuits

Hello there! It was a slow weekend for garage sales. I did find a few nice items, though. Here's my favorite find of the week:

Hallmark and Assorted Greeting Cards (50+) - $2.00 for all

Original Retail Prices

You know how much greeting cards are these days. It's almost a sin! I chose two cards from the stack that I purchased to demonstrate the awesomeness of my deal. I paid less than 4 cents per card. YEP. I now have a stash on hand for just about every occasion imaginable: birthdays, graduations, Christmas, thank you cards...you name it. I was quite excited to find these, and they're all in perfect condition! The nice lady also threw a couple sticker packs into the deal. YAY!

Curly Ribbon Bows and Wraphia (NEW) - 50 cents for all

Assorted Gift Bags - 50 cents for all

I know I've said this before, but WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD SOMEONE SELL GIFT BAGS? I just don't know. Then again, I am grateful for their ignorance.

HP LaserJet Printer - $3.00

HP LaserJet Toner Cartridge (NEW) - $3.00

I love laser printers. They end up being so much cheaper than ink printers, PLUS they're great for printing and using Mod Podge. This printer is selling online for a lot more than I paid. YAY AGAIN!

Purex Complete 3 in 1 Detergent Sheets (1 NEW) - $1.00 each

These bad boys sell for $5-$8 in stores. The lady selling them said she wasn't a fan of the scent, but I love it. They smell fresh and clean, like regular laundry detergent. Here's the cool part - all you have to do is drop the sheet in the washer! The detergent, fabric softener, and anti-static cling agents are all included. Once you're done washing, you put the sheet in the dryer as well. Cool, huh!? Hey, laundry detergent is yet another expensive everyday item, and I will get it for cheap whenever possible!

Vintage Dome Tray - $2.00

Shower Mirror and Radio (NEW) (for the hubs) - $1.50

Scrapbooking Calendar (NEW) - 50 cents

This is pretty cool. Each calendar page is made of scrapbook paper, so you can use it afterwards for whatever you desire! I don't think I'm going to use the actual calendar. I plan to take all of the pages out and use them for crafting.

Small Fridge Calendar - 25 cents

Bag of Metal Letters - 25 cents

Aveeno Lotion (NEW) - 25 cents

Troll Doll - 25 cents

Bear Biscuits (NEW) (for lil' Jakey Bear) - 50 cents

80's Coloring Books - FREE!

I don't know what I'm going to do with Rainbow Brite and She-Ra coloring books, but I know it's going to be grand. Maybe I'll just look at them and smile. Free joy, people. Free joy.
