Buying Games Used Is Cool But...

I like buying board games at thrift stores and yard sales. You can pick them up for a quarter sometimes, which is good because my kids really enjoy playing these games. The drawback is, you sometimes take a risk of the game missing a piece.

The good news is, if it's made by Hasbro or Mattel, you can order the piece online. And Lego will often ship out a piece to you, or instructions, free of charge.

It pays to be a cheap Mama!
