What a way to kick off the yard sale season!

My Mum and I were put running errands late afternoon yesterday.....

when what to my tired eyes should appear?

But a sign saying yard sale and an arrow to "here."

So being the yard salers we once were..... we took a sharp turn right and sooner or later; I'm thinking it was later..... we happened upon the event in question. Now I've
touched a little upon yard saling in our HS blog . But this, oh my, I hadn't hit a sale quite like this in quite some time. They were ready for everything to GO!!! Everything half price- yippee!! So, Mum & I ended up walking out of their sale at a whopping $7.50 spent...... 2 metal shelves in EXCELLENT condition ($2.50 a piece- $20 new at Walmart), a shabby looking but sturdy particle board shelf for my furnace closet ($1.50), 3 Tupperware containers (25¢/each) and a small decorative frame for my Mum (25¢). Funny, I was just complaining to Meredith about the cr*ppy rubbish, er I mean rummage sales we have here.

Blessed bargin hunting!

The much requested COUPON BINDER! A how-to pictorial

First you start with a LARGE 3-ring binder . I was able to get about a dozen of these for 50-75¢ each at a thrift shoppe, brand new. Mine are from a business complete with logo, but that's ok. 50-75¢ sure beats 8 bucks at Wal-mart. Plus mine DOES have a front pocket, in case I want to make it a bit purtier. Some people prefer a zippered binder. These are GREAT if you can afford the dough for a LARGE one. This one is especially great as it has a handle for carrying. You'll also need some pocket pages . I prefer the 4-per-page pages. The pockets are a little bigger, which is GREAT for those LONG coupons (which stick out, so I fold them in half) and those WIDE coupons, and especially for holding more coupons than their miniature counterparts! Now others have had luck with other pages. They come in 1-pocket (also known as sheet protectors, which we'll be using as well- we'll get to that later), 2 pocket, 4-pocket, 5-pocket, 6-pocket, 8-pocket; 9-pocke t. Anything with more...

I've moved!!!

In order to simplify, I'll be getting rid of most of my blogs & just downsizing my internet network. We've made a move that you can read about at my new blog, but suffice to say- we're beginning a new life, in a new state, new job, etc. So if you want to hear more about it, Meet me in Wyoming .
