Return of the Yard Sale Guessing Game

May 5, 2007 by Mary Owlhaven

We went yard saling today, hoping for a few items of clothing to put in the empty half-closet designated for our new girls. Here was our haul. About 3/4 of it should be perfect for the girls, and my 17 year old daughter and I scored 2 pair of (nice) jeans each!

7-Pair of Jeans (all Gap, Aeropos??-somethingorother, and other name brands)
10 -T-shirts
8 -Long sleeve shirts
2-Jackets
1-Pair of Shorts
2- Pair of capris
1 Pair of wind pants
1 -Pair of PJ’s
1- Lawn sprinkler
1-Cheese Grater

Care to guess how much we spent?

Tomorrow I have a great story to tell you about one other item we found!

    $25.50? I really love it when everything is a quarter, which wouls have made it even less. :^) I hope Comfy Denim is right, or that they gave it to you for free when they found out who it was for.

    $23.75

    looks like a great haul :)


  10. on May 5, 2007 at 8:37 pm Heidi

    I was gonna say $5 but I’ll say $5.50 since comfy denim already took it :) !!!! Looks like a bunch of awesome finds no matter what the actual price!!!

    I’m going to say…$15.50…no idea, really, but it all looks good. And I’m jealous. I love a good yard sale!


  12. on May 5, 2007 at 9:34 pm Lauren

    Aeropostale. :) And I guess $12.25.


  13. on May 5, 2007 at 11:33 pm Amy

    I’ll say you spent $14.25!


  14. on May 5, 2007 at 11:45 pm julie

    Are we including the lawn sprinkler and cheese grater?

    I’m going to go with $16.75.

    I’m impressed. Those are some really nice looking clothes. I always seem to find the misshapen faded out stuff. I guess that’s what I get for not getting out the door until after 10 AM!

    Congrats on the fun part of stocking up and preparing for your daughters!

    [...] 6th, 2007 by Owlhaven Oh, man! You guys are almost making me think I spent too much for that heap of clothes. My total was $32. (Of course, I would have spent that much on ONE pair of new name brand jeans, so [...]

    Mary, don’t feel bad. I don’t know where all the other responders are going garage saleing but it sure isn’t around my area! You can’t get a pair of jeans less then $2 (most people want $5 if they are nice). So my guess would have been over $40.


  21. on May 7, 2007 at 12:00 am Shannon

    I think everyone just guessed low, because of how great your deal was last time….so they figured they needed to guess really low this time around!

    I agree with you though, $32 is cheap, cheap, cheap when you think about how much you could have spent on just one of those items!
