Garage sales are a lot of fun and you can get great deals on things you need. Locally here some are Friday night after work and Saturday AM too. I have a friend that goes weekly, and plots out the course of the 'hunt' beginning Saturdays at 0600 AM.

She sets her $ limits and even finds brand new items, or clothing w/ brand new tags for a fraction of the cost at the mall.

Last weekend, when I was out of state for the family wedding, was our big neighborhood garage sale both on Friday and Saturday.
Sorry that I missed it, but the wedding was fun.

Glad you got such great deals!

We love garage sales. We find lots of great things. We read a lot, so 25 cent books are awesome!!! We bought a bike last year. My daughter did not know how to read a bike, was going away for the summer and one of the activities was a bike ride, so we bought the bike at a garage sale and just recently gave it away. We've bought book cases, lamps, end tables. We used to go a bit more often, but we still go whenever we need something

Default Finding garage sales

I've found a lot of cool items I wanted to get using this site http://www.local-deals.net They've got a keyword search that really helps.

This doesn't appear to have a lot. I guess it depends on who advertises where you live.

For finding garage sales, I usually go online to my local paper's classifieds. That pretty much tells me everything I need to know.

In my area, garage sale regulations vary from town to town - little 3 and 4 mile square areas where suddenly you can't put up a sign, or you have to get a permit, and then you don't. So having the newspaper from week to week helps.

There's not a lot going on in my area now due to winter. Do folks in Florida find that this is a good time for garage sales?
