Day 4 and 5: shopping and bargain finding

Yesterday morning we headed to the house and took some more measurements of the kitchen. Then as we were heading out a girl who was walking her dog (OMG SUCH A CUTE DOG- jack russell and maltese mix. OMG OMG OMG). FOund out she would be our back neighbor (yay maybe Mochi's new friend?) and she told us that they have a garage sale going on.
We ended up getting a working 10 dollar DVD player, and missed the opportunity of getting a 25 dollar garage opener (usually 100 dollars) brand new too. it was my bad :(

Then we headed to City of Industry. We drove around to different warehouses to look at tiles, carpet, door casings, base boards, and granite counter tops. and finally ate lunch at 3pm. Then we headed to IKEA to look at more stuff and found a brand new (just out of the box) kitchen sink for 75 dollars! (normally 150 dollars at IKEA) I was glad we went to the "As-Is" section there and found out they also carry alot of just out of the box new stuff.

Today Justin and I went to this moving sale and bought tons of stuff (3 brand new games including CRANIUM!, surge protectors, christmas lights, a trench coat for me, jumper cables, and my happiest find was ceiling medallions!) they look like these:
ceiling medallions

all for 20 dollars. omg. such a good deal.


God truly provides since we are really on a HUGE budget for this renovation....
