Garage Sale Fever

Ben and I have quite the history of thirft store shopping. In Utah we frequented the shops almost every weekend, finding one-of-a-kinds, quirky furniture to refurbish and funky clothes.
The thrift stores here are okay, it is the garage sales that are amazing.
We hit 15  in about 2 hours early Saturday. We hit the jackpot at our last stop.
We came across a garage sale that had NEW IN BOXES West Elem Furniture
We bought 2 queen size bed frames
Retail $299/each
We bought a headboard
Retail $279


One chair
Retail $499
Plus a coffee table and small dining table
Retail $400

Total Value : $1800


Garage Sale Cost $35

If only that had been our first stop!

Nice pick ups! I love thrift stores and garage sales. We have good thrift stores in Tehachapi. I have gotten some great items. I could go everyday and just snoop around :)
