Alden and I have an obsession. And with the warmer weather creeping in I feel it coming to the surface. Getting out of bed in the morning on a weekday is a battle, but getting out of bed before 8 on a Saturday in the spring..... that is like Christmas morning, every Saturday.
We are avid garage sale shoppers. And we aren't the only ones, I will tell you that much. Although we are by far the youngest and dare I say, the hippest? I had a meeting last Saturday and I came home to Alden unloading this beauty. He told me it was kind of a lot of money but he really liked it so he just had to get it. I asked how much it was to which he replied, two-fifty.
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS?!
Nope. $2.50. TWO DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS.
The man selling the credenza talked himself down from $5 to $2.50.
Quite a bargain that boy of mine.
Now....where to put it?
LOVE this!! One of my fondest memories as a child was going garage selling with my family and having my dad haggle everyone for the lowest price.
ReplyDeleteI call you guys the garage sale whisperers
ReplyDeleteNice! I'll buy it off you for double :)
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous! I need to get going on the garage sale-ing! I'm dying for a credenza for our living room. You guys scored big time!
ReplyDelete& funny that he made you think it was "expensive".
