Another Awesome Baby Sale

My friend and I hit up another church baby rummage sale today!  We're kind of obsessed.  We both left our recently fed, sleeping babies with our husbands and stood in the already super long line before 8 am.  (Side note this is the same friend I went to the last baby sale with, and our boys were born on the same day).

I'm not going to link up everything just because I don't have that much spare time. I shouldn't even waste time looking up the retail value for everything but I'm a little obsessive and quite curious!  I spent a hefty $72....yikes! I'm going to guess retail is around $700...let's see if I'm right!

Deal of Last Week: Baby Deals

Last week we went to another baby consignment sale. It wasn't as amazing as the baby garage sale back in May (although there is another one coming up next week!! I'm so excited and hope it's just as awesome), but we picked up a few items for Adam. 

Sorry the pic is so dark.  For $20, we got a warm winter cover-up, a super cute 3 piece winter outfit (complete with a little vest!!), a giraffe costume for halloween, a pacimal, and an old school shape sorter (I had the same one growing up).
