Today my sister, son, and I went to garage sales. Brings back fond memories as a kid going with my as my mom instilled in me being frugal and getting good deal at garage sales. Sometimes my mom and her friends took garage sales to an extreme, but I got the jist of it!
Thanks mom!
This morning we didn't pick anything up for more the 25 cents, but we did find some great deals. Bought a squirt gun and a nice puzzle map of the United States. My parents use to quiz me every night before I went to bed on the states and their capitals. I figure this will help my son learn his states too. Then probably the best deal I am proud of snatching is a vintage 7up glass cup. I remember these cups when I was a kid. I think they came from Pizza Hut, but I'm not sure. I couldn't believe the price tag said 25 cents and I knew it was worth more than that so I looked it up on ebay when I got home! Found a list of two of them for $20!!

Also on Friday I sold my golf clubs for $60, so that is a little more to add to my Multiple Streams of Income challenge. I'm now up to $635 total!!
