Growing up my mom and I would go to yard sales every weekend. It was always fun to see what kind of cool things we could find for super cheap. I have recently started taking an hour out of my Saturday to hit up a few yard sales. It is funny the things I find that I didn't even know I was looking for. I spent $5.10 on this stuff. My 3 year old loves it when I get home because I always bring him something fun to play with.

Fry's & Safeway Trip July 10th

I am trying to get rid of some of the things in our pantry so instead of a normal grocery trip, I just bought a few things that we were running low of in the stockpile. Some how I threw my receipts away before typing this up so I am just going to give the amounts.
