Countdown

I am counting down the days to the REI garage sale. It is this saturday, July 3. I love to go and see what kind of deals I can get. I don't really like the crowds, but it's still fun to run into people I know and compare our goods. I tell myself after each sale that I'm not going next time. Usually, I end up never using it or I give away half of the things I've bought.

Some cool deals I've gotten are:

  • Marmot jacket for $17 (worn once, they returned it because it wasn't waterproof enough)
  • Two room tent for car camping $24 (must have been set up once if ever)
  • B.O.B. stroller for half price (used for one month, they didn't like it or needed the money)
  • North Face down jacket for $20 (returned after one week, can't remember reason)
So, I will definitely be at REI drinking a cup of coffee while I wait in line this saturday.

I had no idea about this actually, but thank goodness. I am going camping fourth of July and I need a tent and sleeping bag. Now I know where I'm going! Thanks!!!

Hmmmm, we'll have to check out the sale...we lost a couple of tents. (when kids come to visit, they could sleep on deck or set tent up down stairs and pretend they're out in the wilds!!!)

Unfortunately, the REI garage sale last weekend was not as good as usual. I didn't think their prices were nearly as good as in the past. Maybe they're feeling the money pinch, too.
