I decided to have a garage sale this past week, very last minute. But I completely lucked out because our neighbors across the street also had a garage sale, so my little piddly sale was well attended largely due to their nicely plump sale. 🙂 And like I said before, I had priced most of my thing for $1 or less so I wasn’t out to make a lot of money–just get rid of stuff. And I’m happy to say that I got rid of 75% of my items.
My goal was to make $50.
And here’s why…
Our "New" double stroller!
I bought a double jogging stroller off of Craig’s list last week for $50. So, my goal was to make as much as I spent to even everything out.
And I did! 🙂 Yippie!
The stroller is awesome–it even has a wheel in the front that can swivel or lock (which was very important to me). And it’s in great condition. Chloe and Josiah LOVE going for walks in it. And I’m super excited to be able to enjoy long walks this fall to watch the falling leaves without having to fight with Chloe about needing to go further or faster than her little legs can go. They both sit in the stroller like angels talking to each other and playing with toys–it’s great. 🙂
I’m aware that I’ll probably only get good use out of it for this fall, since Chloe is already so big in it (ah, the problem of having big kids!). But it was totally worth it for me. And now I feel so much more at peace about spending the money since I was able to cover the cost with stuff I was going to get rid of anyway!
Oh, and of course, there is the added bonus of being able to get some exercise too! 😉
That is so cool!
And think of the added exercise of pushing nice solid kids in it. Takes me back to the days of you in the stroller and Nathan and Kylene in the wagon as i jogged a bit! You don’t have to go far or fast to get a good workout!
Haha–Mom, I often think of that memory of you running with a stroller and wagon! Although I never saw it (obviously!) the picture I have in my mind makes me chuckle. That was dedication for sure!
