Games, Books, and Garage Sales Oh My!

Even though at this time I am unemployed I have still been collecting Therapy Materials like a boss.  A majority of my collection comes from garage sales, goodwill, and savers.  I would say 10% tops were brand new purchases.  When I go to garage sales I mainly look for books and games in good condition and approach it with the mindset that even though I don't have a specific goal for this game or book at the moment, there is a very good chance that I will eventually use it. I have also started spending time in the clearance section of Super Duper Inc and have recently purchased some funny flips books for future use. 

In addition to garage sales and second hand stores I spend a lot of time on Pinterest (follow me here) and Teachers Pay Teachers.  At this point I am just downloading the free items on TPT, some of my favorite speech related TPT stores are SLP Gone Wild, Jenna Rayburn, and Simply Speech. I have been printing off a lot of the color documents in the computer lab as to avoid using up my own ink and then laminating and cutting them right away while I still have "free time".

So much lamination

Funny Flips

My typical Friday night

So many TX materials

My Handy Dandy Laminator.  I found this one on Amazon a while back
for a really good price and I also buy my lamination sheets on Amazon,

Books Books Books... I need to get another crate for
the ones I bought today

So many games! Some of them are for my personal collection
but a majority of them are for Tx purposes.

So there you have it my material collection in a nutshell.  I can't wait to have a little speech room to call my own and to have a place to store everything!  Until then I will just keep pilling stuff in the living room until I need it.
