They had no prices on anything so I gathered some goodies in my arms- an awesome retro Johnson plate, the beautiful brown floral NZ ironstone plate, 2 Johnson mugs, a strawberry stoneware mug, 2 Bessemer cups & the small orange Pyrex ramekin, took them to the kind old man manning the front yard & he said "oh, i'd have to have $1 for all that!" my mouth must have hung open! Then Will spotted the gorgeous sunshine yellow Agee Pyrex dish in a crate, under a box, under some junk (he had his Pyrex eyes on!) and I took it to the man & his response "oh how about 20c for that!" OMG! I had a 50c piece so I gave him that instead. 20c, inconceivable! 50c was still steal!
Then we headed to the backyard where they had an assortment of mouldy toys & books, but I scored this Fisher Price plane, a peek a ball & a Duplo Lego man all for $2! Sweet deal! When I was cleaning the plane I realised it has lights & sounds too! What a score! And Jai loves it!
I think this has to be my cheapest haul ever! I hope the Garage sale is that good every month!!

Couldn't possibly hate you. Best bargains EVER!
Wow! That is an incredible haul for an incredible price!! Good for you; the little plane alone would've cost $3.50 around here :)
WHAT THE? No, I would be so embarrassed to give him $3.50. I think I would have given him at least $10 for getting out of bed that day. These old people just don't know what this stuff is worth.
Great shopping!!!!!!!
Love Mum
Yaay! I love hauls like that and that moment where they give you a ridiculously low price and you feel you should make a run for it before they change their mind :-)
that is amazing - one Johnson plate cost me $3 and that was because it was 1/2 price on crockery at Salvos....
I love the duraware picnic cups. Well sourced.
WOW!! What a haul - super jealous about the Little People Plane - I want to start collecting them for Xavier (he is getting the Little People Airport for his birthday next week). You have done so well!!
Gosh, you did very well.
I haven't seen that Johnson pattern on the plate before. There must have been so many different designs made.
