yesterday i went to a garage sale. i realized it was way cheaper there than the ones used to be sold at the malls. but of course, just be careful of choosing the useful ones than to to the real trash. do you go to garage sale, too?

I used to when i first bought my house, i didn't really have money to furnish it, so my dad gave me twin beds for my kids and my mom gave me her old bedroom set. I went to look for old dressers at garage sales, and i found two nice ones i restained and put new knobs on. but now we have a lot of new furniture, we bought our own couch, a new bed for us and kids, i wouldn't probably shop at them anymore, i'm tired of all the mismatch furniture. i like having them tho. my garage is so full, i do desperately need to have one now!

Here in Portugal there isn't the habit of doing garage sales. It's a shame because I like bargains a lot and these garage sales are excellent to find this type of deals.

I do buy lots of things from garage sales. We have gotten lots of really good things from them at great prices.

I do buy at garage sales and flea markets. Lots of times you can find nice items at bargain prices.

I love garage sales and bargain hunting! I can't wait for the fist weekend of summer so I can start my bargain hunting. I save loads of money and always end up finding something valuable for just a few pennies or dollars. I buy alot of baby and kids clothes and toys. I don't see the sense in buying this stuff brand new and full price when you can get it just as nice second hand. Kids grow out of their clothes and toys so quickly, it's nice to be able save on that cost.

I love garage sales!!! They are even better than thrift shops sometimes! I can't wait until the summer season of garage sales starts to kick in.

Probably i dont' buy from garage sale, there is always risk of things you buy... if you buy from a mall or something... then there is guarantee of the things bought...
