Shopping Superstars: Preparing for Our Road Trip

Scroll down and leave a comment or linky to show off all the bargains you got this past week!

We’re getting ready to go on a camping road trip in the next few weeks. It’s our first ever camping experience with the kids, and we are very excited!

In order to make this trip as inexpensive as possible, I’m hunting down bargains at local thrifts stores, yard sales and any other place that I can to get the best deals. Here’s what we got this week:

You can see my fashionable kids are all excited to be sporting their “new” swimming suits complete with float material built in. These were a little more on the expensive side, especially for a thrift store, but we needed them and the price was cheaper than buying these brand new. They cost $4.41 and $5.41 each.

My daughter’s new hat was .58 cents, my dress was $3.99 and that fabulous Coleman electric cooler was $20.50. We had been drooling over electric coolers, but knew there was no way we could afford a brand new one (they are usually $100 or more).

And my Dad found this camping tent that someone was just throwing away:

Isn’t it great when you can turn someone’s trash into your treasure? I’ll be back with more deals next week, showing you what else I get to prepare for our road trip.

And last, but not least, here’s what we picked up at the farmer’s market:

Watermelon $4
Tomatoes $2
Onion Plant (for my garden) $1
Blackberries $2.50
Cabbage $2
Honey Sticks $1
