Yard Sale Shopping...

I love yard sales! I recently found an ice tea maker identical to one I had bought new for $30 and it was marked $5 at the yard sale of a neighbor who lives on my block. It was brand new in an unopened box. It is a blast riding around in the golf cart looking at the stuff neighbors have for sale in my community's twice a year yard sales.

hi tere. those are indeed great buys. i'm a big fan of yard sales myself. i've been to a couple this past month but i haven't been able to purchase any stuff. i really don't see a point in forcing to make a purchase just so i can buy something on sale. anyway, my family is doing a yard sale today. i got a number of clothes there plus i'm selling two of the gifts i received this past christmas. lol! i'm selling the body shop set that i got from one of my managers and the ucb cold perfume my cousin gave me. i honestly don't have plans of using these gifts. i can use a cheaper body wash/aftershave/perfume and the ucb cold perfume my cousin gave me a couple of months before is still half-full. anyway, hopefully, we get to sell a lot of stuff. i know that whatever i earn from this morning's yard sale, i'll put it in my savings for my planned vacation trip with my daughter next summer. anything the we don't sell, we will most likely donate to the our church or to a charitable institution. that way, someone else will benefit from the stuff. the body shop set and perfume that i got, i'll most likely re-gift if it doesn't sell. cheers and happy mylotting!!!

I used to go yard sale shopping all the time but don't much any more because I don't really need much. When I do go, I tend to find things I like and bring them home anyway! You can save a lot of money by shopping the yard sales and if you're careful, you can get some real quality items. We only have them during the summer here, when the weather is nice, so there won't be any for a few months yet.

one of my favorite things to do not only does it save money,sometimes you can find unique items, not to mention older items better built than modern crap.

I'm not a fan of buying other peoples stuff but sometimes you can find some interesting things. I like looking around Goodwill for stuff, its fun to find items that you might have forgotten existed and when you find it for cheap its a blast of the past. I would rather sell something at a yard sale than buy it there. Hopefully you found something worth buying.

I also buy things from Yard Sales and flea markets. Some items sold on such are uniquely made and one of a kind if you are lucky you’d get something that is from antique and has a much greater value once pawned or sell to some shops. But the thing I like the most on such haul is their affordability, such sale is pretty much cheap and you just can’t resist buying not one but a lot of items in a cheap price range.

You saved hundreds of money. I love bargain hunting though it is quite difficult to find good items. I have nice bargain finds from the "ukay-ukay". But seldom do I find it.

I have been yard saling for 35 years...having them and going to them! Best way to make a little cash while getting rid of what I don't need as well as buying what I do need for a small price! I know where I am at, couple of people buy deserted storage units and then sell them yard sale style. I have a local thrift store that supports a help mission.. and they have great stuff! And all is donated! I have gotten so many great things for small price..just alst week I got a hope chest.. I have been wanting one for 40 years! It is in perfect condition, but a few scratches on the top (which I will cover with a cushion as it is for sitting on) and it is solid oak with a cedar lineing! $45!! So "shopping" at yard sales or thrift stores...is not junk shopping it is smart shopping!

I like to look for books at yard sales. Sometimes, I'll get something that I need, too. At one yard sale, I got a lamp base for around $3 (can't remember for sure). Another yard sale, I got a nice winter coat for around $7. I got the microwave that I have for only $3.50. The price on it was $7. I told the person doing the yard sale that I would give him what I had in my pocket, counted it out to him and he said, "Sold!". I got it 6 or 7 years ago and it still works!!

we have great yard sales here in Mexico for the same reason. i have really got some great buys at many of them. I bought a 50.00 table at one a few weeks ago for just 10.00. Now everyone who sees it, wants it. have a great weekend there. Hope to see ya here soon.

I've never tried to shop on a yard sale but I always go to tiangges near our place. Most of the items there are branded and very affordable.
