I used to think garage sales were for poor people. I don't know where I got it stuck in my head, but I did. I'd drive by garage sales and see people rummaging and think, "That's sad, they must be really poor". You wouldn't have caught me DEAD at a garage sale. There was one exception. My best friend growing up would go with her mom up to Edina to garage sale. It was a genius move. I went with them a few times. See, RICH people's used things are NOT for poor people. They're for middle-class people. It's the chain of command. Middle class people's garage sales were for poor people (or so I thought). Needless to say, my views have changed.
I had a baby.
Baby stuff is fucking expensive.
AND they only use said baby stuff for 5 seconds, and then they outgrow it/get sick of it/break it.
It's a HUGE waste of money, except, you have to buy baby stuff. Unless you're an awful parent and you don't buy your kid any toys.
As I've said before, I'm not HUGE into used baby clothes.
It's gotta be "Edina Garage Sale" quality for me to scoop that stuff up.
BUT toys: Hell Yes, Please!
I'll be "
I buy disinfectant practically by the gallon anyways (side note: I LOVE using Honest brand cleaner on his toys because then when he puts everything in his mouth at least I know it's disinfected, but organically) :)
SO imagine my excitement when I learn about Munchkin Markets.
I ran across an ad for it online yesterday, and started exploring their website.
Apparently it's the greatest thing that's ever happened to parents. I'm super excited.
It's the world's biggest garage sale, ONLY kid stuff, AND I got last minute pre-sale tickets (so I can get all the good stuff before everyone scoops it up tomorrow!)
Major Bonus:
It only costs $1 to get in (totally within my budget...) OR it's free to get in if you bring a canned food item.
My hope is that I will have an awesome post on Monday filled with all of the exciting new toys I found for M.D. JUST in time to add to his (already growing) bday present pile. It could be a total bust.
We'll see :)
