Yard sale loot

I managed to go to two big yard sales last weekend, both fundraisers - one Habitat for Humanity, one for a local school. I like it - one stop shopping, lots of parking.

For a whopping $25.85 total, I got:

  • one yellow Japanese Iris start
  • large plastic flowerpot
  • gallon Ziploc with 4 spools of crochet thread
  • 2 Nestle Tollhouse tins, one round, one square, for 75c. Saw 2 similar ones at a thrift store today, priced at $10 each.
  • dinosaur tray-puzzle
  • large 1000-piece puzzle, not sure if it's all there
  • red, white, and blue Beanie horse
  • a 10,000 Maniacs CD for DH that he doesn't have already ($1.00)
  • 2 Johnny Carson DVDs, $3 each (I think their prices are a bit high)
  • a like-new hardcover copy of Tolkien's Sigurd and Gudrun, although it's a book-club edition, for $1
  • assorted other paperbacks, including an Asimov that I didn't have already
  • Sesame Street English/Spanish memory card game, with all the cards
  • Disney Scene It game, mostly complete
  • Pooh memory card game
  • stuffed penguin puppet (sort of - the hole goes from the feet up through the back, not sure what it really was, but now it's a puppet)
  • 6 Viewmaster reels
  • 9 books
  • 3 coloring books
  • 1 pair of DisneyStore Incredibles pajamas
  • a few magazines
  • one country music VHS
and I think that's it. Not as good as finding the Puzz3D Titanic for $2, but still pretty good finds.
