Bargain Bryan’s Awesome Garage Sale Find

September 21, 2010 By: Briana Carter13 Comments

My good blogging friend, Jen who writes Balancing Beauty & Bedlam, always seems to be finding great garage sale finds. I remember the first time I met her, I complimented her beautiful red dress, and she proceeded to tell me it was a name brand garage sale find, which I would have never guessed otherwise.

I’ve never had the patience or talent for scouting out these deals at garage sales.  Apparently, my husband has a great eye for the garage sale finds, though! Some day I’ll tell you about the a few of his other deals he has found us in the past!

He just happened to drive by a garage sale and saw this adorable pink Barbie bike. Knowing that our youngest daughter doesn’t have a bike of her own he decided to stop. He thought, surely, it would be priced at $40.

Nope, just $20! For a bike that brand new probably would have cost $80 – $100. This previously owned bike looks practically brand new.

He snatched it right up and was Sofia’s hero when he got home. She is still getting the hang of pedaling.

Yes, I know she needs a helmet! We have one but we were so excited for her to try it out didn’t dig it out!

In true Bargain fashion, we were able to snatch up a few FREE bike helmets at a bike safety booth sponsored by our local Cargill at a recent local event! They didn’t have any small enough for Sofia’s head but the boys were able to pick up helmets.

They got all the answers right on the bike safety quiz, now actually using those in real life….

    Almost everything in my home is from garage sales and Freecycle. My favorite find is a drop leaf table and 3 chairs I got a thrift shop for only $29.00. I saw the same table with no chairs at a local furniture store for $225.00 and all I had to do with it was a little paste wax to bring up the finish.I also found a bed in bag comforter set with skirt, shams pillow cases and 2 sheets for $10.00. The price tag from Linens and Things said it was $140.00 new. I have also found books, clothing and housewares for a song . Love those garage sale finds.

    I find tons and tons of great buys, but I think my most recent favorite was a service for 8 of Pfalzgraff Remembrance for $5 – perfect gift for my mother-in-law for her birthday!

    my great find isn’t from a garage sale, but our neighbor put a little tikes turtle sandbox outside their house with a “Free” sign on it. i had been wanting to get my kids a sandbox for so long and we snatched it up quickly once we saw this. it was pretty clean with normal wear and tear. we bought sand at home depot and since summer is ending i’ve found lots of great sandbox toys for less then $1!!

    My most recent garage sale find was this really cool vintage chalk board for $2. It says “Catch of the Day…..Enjoy Seafood With” and has a picture of Hellmann’s Tartar Sauce. I was going to try to insert a picture in this comment and just saw it on a website for $135! We are using it to post weekly menus to take the guesswork out of “What’s for Dinner?”

    My 2 most recent favorite freebies from freecycle are a charcoal smoker and a huge pressure canner! I would have paid over $200 with those two items combined and they were absolutely FREE!

        I’ve joined 4 freecycle groups – Fishers, Noblesville, Tipton, and Huntington. I used to watch the e-mails the second they were sent, but I can’t keep up anymore! Some things I’ve recieved are awesome, and some not so much. I still love Freecycle though.

    I have so many it would be hard to say. I guess my most recent is the perfect oval antique frame I found last weekend. I paid 2$ and plan to refinish it, to frame a picture of my grandkids.
