Dumpster Diving-Garage Sale-Goodwill-Thrift Store & Craigslist Finds

I guess this is the perfect place to post about my latest bargain. In no way does it compair with some of the rarities others have posted, but it was a money and time saver to me. I needed more chicken coops now that I can keep roosters and plan on starting color-specific pens with my silkies. I found 2 little quail coops on CL, but he wanted $140. We were able to talk him down to $100 for both coops. These are the perfect height for my non-flying and non-perching silkie chickens. Here is one of the coops before replacing the wire fronts with siding: The best part was finding pre-cut, composite siding in the clearance bin at Home Depot for $1 a piece. I bought all 4 pieces available to repurpose the coops into chicken friendly spaces. The full sheet of siding normally costs $25 so I'm pretty happy with my find.

NICE!!! Great find. Thanks for posting your find.

Great deal!


I got a cherry wood, Childcraft, Jenny Lind crib in perfect condition at an auction last week for a $1, and a matching wooden highchair for $10! We needed a new crib and high chair desperately.

I also bought a BIG cardboard box full of odds and end (kitchen stuff) for $4. It had a bunch of Tupperware, Pampered Chef, and a lot of junk, but the real deal was the FOUR CUTCO knives in the bottom of the box!

Someone was giving this orange tree away on Craigslist and I got it. This comes just in the nick of time because I was going fruit tree shopping this week. So, this is one less tree that I have to buy.
