With young children who are constantly growing, garage sales are a fun and inexpensive way to fill their closets and dressers, find useful equipment, and stock up on toys for special occasions.
- Look through the newspaper and circle sales that look appropriate for your needs.
- Be sure to check out Craigslist.org for more sales in your area.
- Stop at an ATM to get some cash. Stay within budget. Just because things are cheap does not mean you should spend more than you have.
- Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and good walking shoes.
- If you are taking children, be sure to bring a stroller or a backpack to contain them, if possible.
- I know it is Saturday, but if you want to find the best stuff, you are going to have to get moving! Sales start early and the “early bird gets the worm!”
- Don’t be afraid to ask a lower price than what the item is marked.
- Bring your own bags. Many people are not prepared to give you a bag after purchase.
- Look around, and then move on! There are lots of sales to get to.
- Have fun! Feel good about your bargains!
