I’ve never been a fan of rummaging thru someone elses stuff – but it does make a lot of sense, MUCH less expensive than thrift stores and as you point out – you can often find a variety of baby/toddler items in one place.

I’m also toying with making “new” clothing for kids from “used” adlut stuff (cute appliques out of dress shirts, dresses and yoga pants from t-shirts)and garage sales really make the best sense for this undertaking, that and asking all my friends to go thru their closets and share all the clothes they’ve been hanging on to since the 80′s!

Now if I can only find the time to scour my neighborhood for bargains… paying a babysitter for a couple hours would not be the most cost effective way to fully take advantage of garage sale deals. LOL!
