Yard Sales


The weather has been so nice this week and apparently the yard sale season has begun. With the cost of gas being what it is, its a good thing we live in a town that is relatively flat so we can ride our bikes. If we find something too big to carry in a backpack we can always come back for it in the van later. Riding our bikes is also great exercise so that's another bonus.

Why do I like yard sales? Well one person's junk is another's treasure! Its treasure hunting in modern days, lol. Its also a great way to get rid of the stuff you've accumulated that you no longer want or need. Our family had one last year and even hauled our stuff to another town that had community yard sales to make even more money. Community yard sales are a little bit of heaven for us die hard yard salers. Yard sales on every street!

Thrift stores are good as well but usually cost more than yard sales, not to mention that they are in another town and gas is too expensive. Definitely not cost effective, so I'll continue to treasure hunt in my own town.
