This past weekend the SE Como neighborhood had its community garage sales. They put out a map with all of the different garage sales that are happening in the area. My friend Liz and I went to about 15 different garage sales, she was looking for furniture and I was more interested in baby items. We were both successful!
I found a highchair, there were actually two identical ones being sold by two different people, but I only bought one. If we find out we're having twins I'll kick myself... Anyway, its a really nice highchair, in great shape and it was a good deal. Then I bought a baby bath tub. I really wanted the yellow one that my parents used for all of us, but this one seems a little more practical, it has a drain in it and I think somehow it fits nicely into the sink. Maybe I'll still ask for my parents yellow one and then I can decide which one I like better. I only paid $0.50 for it so it wouldn't be a huge loss. My best bargain that I got this weekend was a crib mattress. We don't have a crib yet, but most cribs, ok probably all the cribs do not come with mattresses, so we would have to buy one seperate anyways. I just barely started looking at the price of mattress, and the lowest I found was $60. Well, the mattress I bought is in almost new condition (how much wear can a baby do to a mattress anyways) and I got it for the low low price of $2.00!! What a bargain.
Now we just need to figure out where we are going to store all of these things for the next 6 months.
