Yard Sales

i absolutely LOVE garage sales, especially church ones, they seem to have the best stuff! we have about 3 or so garage sales per year (all during the month of june) and the best bargain i have gotten at a yard sale was a bunch of antique (children's) blocks that i paid 75 cents for and checked out on ebay, someone was selling some similar for $10 (and that was quite awhile ago...)

Not only do I love, love, love garage sales, I also love thrift stores! I am a big time bargain shopper!!! My husband, friends and other family members often make jokes about my frugal shopping, because I will buy things that I can't use but that I know that someone else can use, for example, if I go to a store or garage sale and find nice quality baby clothing for a very low price, I will buy them (my youngest child is 9..no babies here)..but come on, if it is a new outfit from the Gap with the tags still on it and I can get it for a couple of dollars, well of course I am going to purchase it, that is just too crazy not too, right??? Well at least I think so..lol I have also had garage sales, but I prefer to just give my things away. I am not big into having a garage sale myself, if I have nice things that are still of decent quality, I would rather find someone who I know is needy and give it to them for free. Thanks for starting this conversation. Have a great day!

I haven't had a yard/garage sale in about 5 years, but I am planning a big one or maybe 2 this year. I usually do pretty well, as I am situated on a 4 lane, although the speed limit is only 45 mph. I usually put tables length wise in my long driveway all the way up to the garage. Then I hang the clothes on the garage door track. I only have to put up big plywood signs at the end of my drive, and I get plenty of traffic, especially if it is warm outside.

I like to go to yard sales. You can find some pretty good stuff at a really good price sometimes. I have never had my own garage sale. My sister and I had thought about having one this past summer, but we never got around to it. Maybe this year.

I love yard sales. I am so happy that I am on day shift this summer. Last summer I was still on evenings and didn't get off work til 11pm. It's hard to get up before 7am when you don't get to bed until midnight at the earliest. But this year, I will be at work. And we will go to yard sales with the individuals. Well, we will take them considering we have to drive them. I can't wait. I was just talking about this the other day.

I love to go garage sales/yard sales also. I have went the past few weekends because I have a baby on the way. Its a great way to get kids clothes/toys. Not to mention nursery furniture. I have never did one myself but my grandparents did when I was a kid. They just hung signs up on telephone poles.

Oh I love yard sales. I dont think I have ever got a great deal on something but I do find nice things once in a while. Around here each town has a day in the summer. The whole town has a HUGE yard sale. Its nice to walk around with the kids and see what deals you can get. I always give them each 5$ and they can get something they want. I myself dont have yard sales. I never have enought to sell or anything worth selling. LOL! My boys are rough on things! Why is a Yard sale called a Yard sale? Your not selling your yard! LOL Why is a Garage sale called a garage sale? Your not selling the garage! LOL! It should be called a Stuff sale! LOL!

I love yard sale hopping! As soon as the snow melts off the ground people are starting to put up their yard sales around here. I love them. My mother and I go to all the local ones, checking our newspaper to make sure we don't miss any. I personally am always looking for books, and furniture. I've gotten some really great deals. My mother usually shops through the clothes for younger kids, because my brother and sister are 5 and 8 and they play outside a lot and she doesn't want them to get their nice clothes dirty, so by buying old used clothes they have a chance to dirty something up that doesn't mean as much. I personally don't do my own yard sales, but my little brother and sister did one day. They brought out all their old clothes and toys and set up right in the drive way. They made a little over $20, which is a lot for 2 children. They didn't set their prices high either. They were really excited, and used their earnings to buy ice cream for the family that day at the local ice cream shop.

Sadly, I cannot set up a yard sale of my own, but I do love to check out garage sales! It's a great place to find things at a reasonable price. I usually check if the yard sales are selling CDs or VCDs, and if I see something I don't own, I'd buy it.

I also love garage sales and yard sales. I like looking for good items that someone may not want. I also donate some items I have to my church for when they have a yard sale. I like helping out my church when I can.
