bargain hunting

A few times a year the retirement community where my grandmother lives has a community wide yard sale. We have gone once a year for the past several years and always found great deals. I have always gone with my mom and it has been fun to spend time with both my mom and my gradmother as we drive around looking for deals. This year was especially fruitful, here is what I found:

Total purchase included set of 4 pyrex bowls-$2, set of 7 milk glass bowls 50cents, china bowl-50 cents, glass urn-$2, vintage table runner-50cents, vintage typewriter with orig. manual-$3, set of 2 milk glass soup bowls-50 cents, and (not pictured) 2 gold chains at a dollar a piece! Total spent = $11.00

the case on the typewriter is not in great condition, but with a little help i think this could be super cute, and for only $3!!!

who does nott love pyrex mixing bowls?-$2 for the whole set

perfect size for serving baby food!

As if all of these great deals weren't enough, the two small gold chains i bought, the ones not pictured that i bought for a total of $2, I took them to a jewelery store and sold them for $80.00!!! Needless to say I was pretty excited about the whole experience. Not only did I get a handful of fun vintage finds, but I ended the day with more money than I started with! If only all my shopping trips went this well.
