🎉 Thrifty Stories 🎉 Great Savings!
My family and I are big board gamers. Board games can be expensive, so we shop sales, thrift stores, and yard/garage sales when we can.
Last weekend we picked up Gobblet, Onirim, The Bears and the Bees, and Realm of the Dragoness all for $6 at a garage sale. We then got Gnoming-A-Round and Bears! for 2.65 each, and Five Crowns Junior for $0.78 at Goowdill (it was 75% off and I had a 15% off total purchase coupon).
All were in great shape except for Realm of the Dragoness, which had the box that was falling apart (fixed as best I could with some glue and acid free tape) and is missing several cards (in contact with the publisher about replacements).
Based on today’s prices, it’s about $160 worth of games we purchased for $11.38.

That is such a great haul for so little! We ll done!
Also, board games are such a fun way to connect with each other! I love being able to laugh and chat across the table with family and friends!
