Garage sale and shopping finds

went to one garage sale in our neighborhood and got a bunch of stuff for husband since he needs a lot of outside tools for landscaping business:

2 shovels: 1 dollar each (will use both)
2 tarps: 3 dollars total     (will use)
mallet and ax: 1 dollar each   (said needed another ax)
funnel: 1 dollar    (will use)
hearing protection: 50 cents   (said will keep as spare, don't we sell, but not kind he likes)
another hand tool for 1 dollar  (forget to ask him about this one)

2 rolls of wire 3.00 (took chance on this one thinking husband might use since electrical wire is so expensive- but prob won't) 

plus
drying rack 1 dollar  (I needed one of these)
plus extender thing .50 cents (we also needed one of these)
broom handle 1 dollar  (and needed one of these)

plus for free I got almost full containers of
car wash
leather cleaner
windex
antibactorial cleaner
painters tape
wood floor cleaner
kitchen scissors

I spent 15 dollars total, so although I shouldn't have brought the electrical wire and the mallet he said he already has a couple of I think it was a pretty good buy especially since I got all the cleaners were free and I was just guessing on what might be useful for him to have extra's. The girl running the sale was just trying to get rid of all the stuff in the garage because the owners had moved to Florida and sold the house.

The I went to the mall with my mom and brought
16 pair of baby/toddler shoes/boots/sandals: 1 dollar each
11 pairs of baby/toddles hats or mittens     1 dollar each

these were at HM marked way down- since most were originally around 10-20 dollars. I will resell most of these on ebay/craigslist/garage sale. However, I will prob save a couple for our future  or baby shower gifts because some are so cute.

I also got a sweater for 7.50 marked down from 25.

Then at JCPenny's I got 6 bath towels quick dry on clearance for 3.20 each (used coupon to) and a sports bra on clearance for 3.20 so spent 23 dollars there.



So overall spent a bunch of money today   about 73 dollars, but around 1/2 of that was either for the landscape business or my ebay business. I attached the pictures of a couple of the shoes I already listed, but the cutest ones I haven't listed yet.
