Something for the Weekend

Saturday 9 October offers two of the less frequent op-shopping experiences

The YMCA Garage Sale starts at 8am in Meuller Street, Yarralumla.  Not the mega sales they used to be, the Y sale is still great value.

From 1-3pm, the Finnish Lutheran Church on the corner of Gould and Watson Streets is having a fete/op-shop.  TOF and I experienced this wee gem back in July and it was great.  If you get there early, you can buy coffee and Pulla (a traditional tea bun) from Noon.

YMCA garage sales

First YMCA garage sale of 2010

Saturday 6 February

8am - 12 noon

in the YMCA building in park on Meuller Street, Yarralumla.

See you there.

YMCA garage sales

I saw this on the door at the Belconnen YMCA shop.

I guess the last line is the important line. Future sales will be the first Saturday of even numbered months (First Saturday of February, April, June, August, October and December).

I wonder if they realise that these dates include the October long weekend and Easter 2010 is going to be April 2 until April 5.

YMCA CLEARANCE SALE

Saturday 30 May

10am – 3pm

YMCA Yarralumla, Mueller St.

(next to the tennis courts)

Clearance SALE - All goods reduced to clear – best offers accepted.

SALE INCLUDES:

Clothing, Manchester, Fabrics, Books, DVD's, CD's, Records, Toys, Games and Bric-a-brac.

We are also offering our famous $4 a bag Children's and Adults Clothes.

[YMCA Volunteers will be running the sale].

ETA - yes there was a sale last Saturday (23rd) and there will be another this coming Saturday (30th). It is small and is inside the hall only. According to the person I spoke to at the Y - this will be the last for the year.

Might be worth a look?

Young man ... Go to the YMCA

On Saturday Taph and I went to the YMCA garage sale, because it is fun, to go, to the YMCA garage sale (Sorry, but as I write this, that song is still going through my head).

We got there after 12, and in doing so were able to pick up a couple of bargains. Taph managed to pick up all this Tupperware for a couple of dollars.

Say it isn't so!

I picked up a flier for the next YMCA Garage Sale when I was at Y's Buys today:But did you notice? *sigh*

A thrifty find at the YMCA Garage Sale

Thanks to both our human and canine alarms sleeping in...and a pre-arranged vet's appointment......I didnt have time to get much past the boxes of manchester at yesterday's YMCA garage sale...but i did strike gold there...this is one of the 5 table clothes I managed to stuff into my $4 bag - along with napkins, sheets, and a great little crochet granny square....although this one was bought with the intention of being chopped up and made into toys....after washing it seems too lovely to slice and dice and might end up on our table instead!

Nothing better than a good op shop on the weekend to make the coming week seem quite insignificant! Hope your hunting went well too.

What do you get

when you take 1 day and add 3 people, 1 garage sale, 2 fetes, 2 op shops and 2 beyond belief retail opportunities?

This:Check back tomorrow for details!

(Did you go out frugalling today? If so what treasures did you find?)
