Online Garage Sales - My new addiction

I have recently stumbled on a new addiction. It's called online garage sale-ing. A friend of mine was talking about a Facebook garage sale group in his town. I was curious and searched for a group in my town. I found one! And then another. And another. I am currently in 8 garage sale groups from towns around me! I can't stop checking the pages! But to be fair, I have found some pretty good deals. Come on a tour with me!

I have pretty much nothing hanging on any of my walls. Someone was selling this mirror/votive piece and for some reason it spoke to me! $10. I hung it up in my entryway from the garage. I love it!


 I can actually blame my mom for this one! I got her addicted to the garage sale groups, too. She came across these Levolor faux wood blinds on a local group. The lady was only charging $20 for 6 blinds! They were all too long for my windows, but we adjusted them to fit. Previously, I had ugly, used roman shades in my living room. They came with the house and were extremely faded and gross. Now I have perfect condition blinds!


 I never had blinds in my bedroom after living here for a year and a half. Now I do! No more accidental peep shows for the neighbors.


One of the first things I wanted to find on the groups was a set of chairs for my porch and deck. And I found one! These chairs fold up and can be used for camping. I think the lady said they were from Camping World. A few days later, I came across the metal table to add to the chairs. Perfect for watching Leia play in the yard!!!


 Right after buying the previous chairs, I came across this set! 2 red chairs with a sturdy, glass table.. for only $20! I have a balcony/porch on my second level. Perfect! Sometimes Leia plays on the porch and now I can sit with her and soak up the sun!


I found these cute wall sconces that match the colors of my kitchen. At the time, I had nothing hanging in the kitchen, so I bought them for a reasonable $5 in hopes I could find a spot. This weekend, my mom and I found this awesome leaf clock at a store and after hanging it, I decided to hang them with the clock! I'm all about this inexpensive decor!


I also found a $50 Columbia jacket for winter. I googled it, and it retails for over $160! The lady said she needed a longer jacket for work. It was my size and was in excellent condition! It's right in between my light fall jacket and my heavy winter coat. Perfect!

I wish I knew about these groups earlier! I am definitely addicted! I can't wait to see what other good deals I can come across!
