@MyNameIsHurl I used to go to a lot of yard sales but it’s hit or miss and by that I mean mostly miss. There is one about a mile from my house where the lady goes in with some of her friends & sister-in-laws and they put reasonable prices on their stuff, I always go home with around a dozen items. I don’t like wasting gas and my city going all over town to garage sales and not find anything at decent prices.

@cherokeepatti I hate garage sales. I always feel bad looking at peoples stuff and then not buying anything. It feels like I'm insulting them, but they don't want the stuff either, hahah

@MyNameIsHurl Well it depends on what I am looking for. I went to one about 13 years ago and the lady was having someone move in with her and had to clear out some closets and stored items. She was a clothes horse and apparently gained weight so was selling the smaller sizes. The entire garage was full of most clothes and the better ones hanging up. The driveway was full of clothes and tables of household items. I asked her how much the clothes were and she said “50 cents unless you get a lot then they are 25 cents” I got a box full and most still had the store tags on them, jeans, shirts, etc. I spent less than $8. Bad thing was that it ruined the garages sales I went to after that because they wanted so much more for their stuff so I stopped going except if I was driving by one and would stop and browse.
