Hitting the Garage Sales
Cruising garage sales is a great way to save money while finding some interesting items. One day you can pick up an electric lawn mower for $10 while the next you may be haggling over a lounge chair cover. Here are a few tips to make sure your next garage sale trip goes well.
Start Early- Hit the sales early. You will be able to choose from the best selection before other buyers get there. You might find a vintage bridge table cover or a Persian rug for a bargain price.
Pick your Sales – You should read through the listings and look for the sales that interest you the most. The descriptions will often give you an idea of what you will find at the sale. Choose ones that you think have the best chance of hitting pay dirt.
Plan a Route – Plan out a route so you can hit the most sales in the least amount of time. Head in a circle if possible so you are not driving back and forth across town all morning. This can help you save time and gas money.
Finding bath wraps or patio furniture for great prices can be easy if you know how to hit the garage sales like a pro. Hopefully these tips will help you find the best deals.
