Look what $1.00 bought!

All of the things in this post cost a total of $1.00 all together at garage sales...here we go:

First, I bought this rooster for 10 cents. I am thinking of spray painting him, and using him to make a tassel. I have been wanting to try my hand at that. He is about 3 inches tall. If it doesn't work out, I haven't lost a whole lot!

All of these fall leaves, berries and garland were 25 cents. I will use them in a some sort of fall decoration. We are up to 35 cents.
This Christmas photo album is just like new and was only 10 cents. So we are up to 45 cents.

Each of these books was 10 cents each. So now we are up to 65 cents. My daughter loves the Jan Karon books and has been telling me I need to get started reading them. And I'm probably the only one on the planet who has not bought RickWarren's book. I've been wanting to read it too!
All these magazines were free! So we are still at 65 cents.
This little vase was 25 cents. At that price, I can afford to give away flowers from my garden and not worry about getting the vase back. This one is one of my favorites ...not sure if I'll part with it! We are up to 90 cents.

And last but not least, this brand new school memories book was only 10 cents! So that makes a grand total of $1.oo!
I don't always get stuff this cheap, but these are a few of the things that I have bought recently that were very reasonably priced wouldn't you say?

Try going to garage sales! You'll have to look through some junk, but the bargains are there if you stick with it.

Another thing I've found is that if you go looking for a particular thing, you probably will be disappointed. You never know what you'll find! So keep and open mind and give it a try!
