That is one of my favorite phrases lol. I love bargain hunting and I love yard sales. I been going to a lot of yard sales this year and made some really amazing deals. We got a weed whacker for $2 and a big gas grill, almost as good as new, for $20. We got a set of 4 resin chairs, two of them highback, and a side table for $6. A breadmachine for $8, I yet have to try it out though lol. And tons and tons of books and movies for about 50 cents a piece. I could go on and on..... Do you love yard sales, flea markets and such and do you bargain hunt? Tell me about some of the bargains you got.

I do like them. I got a leather purse for .25. I have a brass plate and rooster hanging up in my kitchen probably retail about forty dollars both for like 2.00. I have a picture I saw on the internet for around 40.00 for two dollar at a flea market type place. You never know what you can find when you look hard enough.

Those are some awesome bargains. Sometimes you can get stuff you can resell too. I got some sterling silver stuff once for $3 and ended up reselling it to an antique store for $50 and could have probably gotten more for it, if I shopped around.

Wow! I've never been to a yard sale before I just don't like the idea of wearing used clothes. But I guess if you're buying things for the house hehn it's okay. And it's really really cheap! Good stuff! Anyway, I prefer buying from sales in the mall or street stores. The mid year sales are very good as well as the year end sales.

I never buy clothes at yard sales. I'm the same way about used clothes. I love summer clearance sales, you can get new clothes there at a real bargain.

I love bargin shopping too, when it came to clothes I was always able to find a good deal. Now with the prices going up on everything I have turned my talents to other shopping avenues. Getting the best deals at the grocery as well. I have started using more cupons now and shopping for brands that are on sale, I have even had to cut back on my shopping only going out 2 a month at the most for things other than groceries.

Love me yard sales, especially when boosk ar eon sale at 50 cents...I go crazy and buy them by the bags. I once got a brand new out still with tags for just $5 and a set of kitchen dishes for $2...the people that usually hold these sales are most often leaving the country and just want to get rid of them as quickly as they can

yes, some people almost beg you to take their stuff lol. We went to one where the lady always said 50 cents, no matter what I pointed at. We ended up getting a coffeemachine for 50 cents for our neighbor, because hers has just bit the dust.
