So usually I stick mainly to thrifting for my old clothes and jerseys but today I stepped out of my comfort zone. I went to this giant garage sale/flea market thing and it was overall a great experience. 

 

I should've went earlier, it started at 7:00 but I showed up at 8:30 so I know I missed a few good items but can't be completely sure. 

 

Here's what I came away with for $30

No because when the Irish came to Ireland and first came in contact with the leprechaun people, they didn't take their land away and force them to move west. Instead, the two groups learned to assimilate peacefully. However, certain tribes of the leprechaun refused to taint the pure blood and moved north into the forests of Ireland, only to be seen rarely, usually at the same time of a rainbows appearance and occasionally at the factories of Lucky Charms.

Does anyone have a red air-knit Montreal Canadiens jersey in size large they want to sell?

What do you mean by air-knit? If you don't mind me asking. I managed to find a white Team Canada hockey jersey for $15.

Actually, the Canadiens used a different fabric than most teams for their jerseys. They used Ultrafil, not Airknit. It's a little smoother looking. IIRC the Canucks also used it. Other notable exceptions to this were the Starter jerseys the Avalanche and Rangers wore that were football-jersey like.

Here's a site that explains the different types of hockey jersey material:

I've always had my eyes open, hoping to grab some stellar deal somewhere. I finally found mine through Kijiji. I grabbed this beauty below, plus a (fake) 2013 NHL All-Star jersey (white, #8, no name, with Capitals logo on the sleeve) for a total of $20.

 

Glad I saved all that cash, since finding a lettering kit for it is going to cost an arm and a leg.
