I’ll take it… if it’s FREE

So, my thriftiness has taken a turn the past few months and I’m now into free stuff, it’s slightly embarrassing, but I’ve just become that much of a cheapskate.

I might say, I’ve had some pretty decent luck at it. Here’s what I’ve scored for free recently…

P1100149

This toy box was sitting outside of a house in my neighborhood. It’s a step two! I also got that Little People castle for free, but it was from my mother in law, so not a random free find.

 

P1100153

This basket and luggage rack were also outside of the neighborhood house (I painted the basket)

 

P1100154

I found this Power Wheels Jeep through a craigslist ad titled: Stonegate Eviction Completed…. yikes! (Stonegate is the subdivision we live in and evictions are definitely not common around here) So of course curiosity got the best of me and I loaded the kids up in the CAR, (Robert had our SUV that day) and drove to the address to find a bunch of junk out in the front yard, I’m talking broken shelves, dirty mattresses, old TV’s, cardboard boxes full of old school books and papers, a refrigerator, and this pretty little gem on the sidewalk. I made sure it didn’t belong to any neighbors, it didn’t, and loaded it HALFWAY INTO THE TRUNK OF THE CAR. Luckily our house was only a few minutes drive away, and none of my neighbors saw this hanging out the back of our trunk Anyways sweet right? Of course the battery was gone, but you can find those easily AND I’m liking that it doesn’t have the driving capability. My boys just like sitting in it and pretending.

This table was sitting outside of another neighbor’s house recently- like my method of transportation?? Keep an eye out for what I did with it….
