It’s Coming!!!!

In less than a week it will be here, and I am so excited! That’s right everyone, this Saturday June 11th  the Liberty Lake Yard Sales are on! Zippercow and I look forward to this every year. It has been a tradition and it is our “date” every year. Sure some years we’ve gone perusing with friends but we do not take the children with us. What is so great about the Liberty Lake Yard Sales you ask? Well what isn’t?!?! It is a large community with tons of yard sales and vendors.  We spend HOURS wandering the neighborhood scoping out great deals. Some years we find great deals, some years the only thing we buy is a bag a kettle corn from the corner vendor, but it is still fun to run into people we know and enjoy the morning outdoors.  Here are some of the great things we’ve scored

We found the dimmer switch with remote for $15 which is an awesome deal. Zippercow installed it in our bedroom. Mood lighting sure, but mostly it allows Zippercow to turn it off from the bed. Apparently everything needs a remote?

Over the range microwave. I think we spent $80 which is a good deal but it also allowed us to get rid of the one on our counter (which we sold thus offsetting the cost of the new one) and since counter space is at a premium in our kitchen this has helped me out tons!

Napkin holder. Sure it isn’t anything exciting, but I think we spent $1 (maybe less) for something that helps keep the napkins from blowing away. Because nothing says classy like the plastic package of napkins plopped on the counter!

And let us not forget Yard Sale Brita! May it rest in pieces. This find saved us money for YEARS!

I know that we’ve found kids items and household this and that over the years, but those are the things I can remember off hand. Being the frugal gal I am, yard sales play an important part in saving our family money.  And for me this community sale is like the Black Friday of yard sales. So if you are in the area, check out the Liberty Lake Yard Sales. Just Follow the signs!
