Garage Sale Planning

Should it stay or should it go? That is always the question when it is garage sale time. For me it is always to emotional roller coaster ride. I love this stuff, but it is just that, "stuff" I have printed my labels and not it is time to start marking the items for sale.

Garage Sale Tracker

Hope you will find this useful. This is a website that helps you track garage sales in your area. Not only can you find garage sales, you can post about your garage sale. There are some posts with helpful hints for having a successful garage sale of your own. This site was interesting to visit and I picked up a few extra ideas that I will implement on my moving sale. Also while you are there checkout the coupons for extra savings when you are shopping at a retailer. Good luck and leave them a note to let them know you read about their site on my blog. Go Green go to a Garage Sale.

Garage Sales


We still have snow outside and it is so cold. Occasionally the sun peeks out just long enough to tease us about spring. Spring weekends are often spent shopping at garage sales. I love looking for great bargains! At the end of the day looking over my treasures is a fun part of the weekend.

I am personally holding a garage sale next weekend. Wish me luck as I take on the big job of cleaning out the garage.
