First garage sale purchases today!!

Nice purchases!! I haven't been yardsaling cause of money being too tight lately :( I do love to go though.

That's phenomenal. It's garage sale season year round here, because of the mild weather. I haven't been to one in ages, should really find a good one this summer. Once I got a real India silk two piece blouse and skirt for a dollar at a church yard sale. It was so pretty and I got so many compliments. Plus I got a two piece woman's business suit for two dollars once and got many raves on that as well. I have found kids toys and such and those are lots of fun for my child. Thanks for the fun chat. Have a beautiful day and happy shopping!

I drove by one but I didnt see anything I needed. I know if I stop I will find things I want but I dont need. I do need some new things to organize my home so I can generaly spot thoes with a drive by.

Nope, havent gone hunting yet but I will be going soon. One of few men that actually will admit they do with their wives I think lol. Its fun and I like to, I think I got it from my mother growing up. You can find ANYTHING there and its like a QUARTER or less! lol ~*~J_Dawgs~*~

I have went to one sale this year here in west virginia. it was rather disappointing though. nothing of interest to me or my husband. does your husband or SO go along with you. we make it a family affair and my younger kids call it "treasure hunt day". my husband hated them until he had knee surgery and would go with me for the company, we took walkie talkies so i could hear him if he needed something, and he would say, whats that red thing over there? whats this? whats that? and then when he could get out and about he started see what all those things were, and goes with me every time now. it makes a great family day! cant wait for more!!! good luck on your hunts everyone!

Yes, the garage sales have begun here too! Wow - Levi's for a quarter??? That's amazing! WTG! :) I have picked up a few items so far this summer. Probably my favorite buy was a set of baskets on a wire frame that stands about 2 1/2 feet tall for $3.00. I've also managed to find some cute clothes for my girls at .25 cents apiece too. Yea!! Happy Garage Sale Shopping everyone! Susan

I haven't been to a garage sale yet this year, but I'm hoping to go tomorrow. I have to make a list of things I'm looking for, or I'll spend all my money on things I don't need!

I haven't seen one yet this year. I can't wait till they start popping up. Maybe I'll get lucky this weekend since the weather should be nice. I am still learning my area so I don't know where all the "good" ones are yet. I am hoping I'll get the areas straight this year. By the way you did good!

You know, I have not been to a garage sale in years. So last summer, I decided to go and check one out. I was very disappointed at the prices. I felt they were asking way too much for everything, and because of that experience I have not been to another one. However, seeing what kind of deals you and the others have posted, I think I owe it to myself to try again this year! I do shop at our local Salvation Army Thrift store, and can find some amazing deals there as well. Mom 2 Mom sales are really good too if you need to shop for smaller children. Anyway, you have inspired me to start looking for local garage sales again and if I can score a good deal at any, I'll let you know!

I have not been to any garage sales in years. We live out in the country and there aren't many close houses to us where we could go to any without spending a ton in gas. I have found some bargains over the years though but right now we really don't have to have those types of things. We have to hold onto our money for other things right now.

i love garage sales and it sounds like you got some pretty good deals there at the one that you went to...there have been some garage sales the past few weekends, but we have been really busy and havent had time to go to any...my favourites are church ones!

I haven't been to one yet this year. But there is alway one or two every weekend. I need a new toaster and know you can usually get a pretty decent one at a yard sale. so i'm sure very soon i'll be hitting one up. I need to go through some stuff and have my own yard sale. It was hard for me last year to have because i worked on the weekends, but now i'm not working and should have the time to do one this year.

Wow, those are some great deals! I haven't been to any here in Ohio yet and I was hoping to this weekend when we have to go to the next town on an errand, but I think we're supposed to have thunderstorms off and on all weekend.

I went to a rummage sale today. The garage sales are still sparse here, as the weather is just starting to get good. But I bought about 10 books for .35 a piece, I got my son a toy dump truck for a quarter, and 5 glass jello cups since I have been trying to create sugar free deserts with pudding and jello. I got all 5 of them for $1.00. There is another rummage sale at a different church tomorrow, I go there every year it is the best one of the year so I am looking forward to going there, I did see a couple of garage sales today, but didn't have time to stop, I might hit them tomorrow after the rummage sale if I have time, but the kids have a half day of school tomorrow, so time will be limited.

I haven't had the opportunity to go too much. I did find some split skirts for my daughter to take with her on her mission trip to Mexico along with some cool cotton blouses to go with each of them. The weather where she is spending the summer is so much hotter than here in Arkansas

I love garage sales! Some are nicely priced. I have been to some though that are so high priced it was rediculous. Funny too for what it was.
