Tim and I had been discussing getting Madison a swing for her 1st Birthday coming up for a while now. Whenever we visit a friend that has a toddler swing she LOVES it, so we decided it would be worth it to buy one. Plus we have the added bonus of being able to use it for another kid in about a year–so we would get our money’s worth. So, we started looking and the one we really liked was at Menards. But the catch was the cost = $80. While I love my children, and we would get our money’s worth, I was still having a hard time swallowing that cost.
Fast forward to this morning.
The kids and I had stopped in at Once Upon a Child (a used kids clothing/stuff store) to buy some shorts and swimsuits now that it’s officially summer. I was standing by the dressing room door waiting for the kids to show me yet another pair of shorts and turned around to see a swing. Not just any swing, but the EXACT swing I had been eyeing at Menards. I looked it over and it was dirty but otherwise in stellar shape. But wait! I haven’t told you the cost! (Wheeeeee!)
$10.
Yup! TEN dollars! I was ecstatic!
Needless to say I bought it and we installed it on the swing set this afternoon (I know, it’s a little early for her Birthday, but let’s be serious… she doesn’t know the difference. 😉 ) And she LOVES it!
What a deal!! So happy for you. She looks like she loves it.
