Garage Saling

Before I had children, I loved to hit garage sales. Once there was a garage sale in my neighborhood that had about 1000 yard tools. I honestly never understood WHERE they got all of these yard tools. I bought a blower for five bucks, and it still works… five years later. I got a chest for $10.00 and some other assorted items. I have not been in a while, though it truly is the best way to get kids items. We all know they play with that plastic crap about 5 times and forget about it. Buying it at a garage sale makes both economic and environmental sense.

So, get your garage sale on tomorrow: (via email)
We’re having a huge three family yard sale Saturday, July 25 from 6 am to 3pm at 2439 Buckshot Road, Florence, SC – just off Alligator Rd, one mile past Forest Lake Greenhouses. Rain or Shine!

Garage/yard sales are *great*. For one thing, you get to meet other people who live in Florence, or sometimes, you go to a yard sale and find out you’re connected to the family at the sale. I was at a yard sale once, struck up a convo with the seller, and found out that we worked together- if I hadn’t gone to his yard sale, I might have never really met him. It’s also a great way to see other neighborhoods and stuff :) .

So yeah- keep letting us know of yard sales, Flossip!

The best is at the end of the yard sale. They’re trying to get rid of the stuff, so they just let you fill a bag for like a dollar :) .

There will be a multi-family garage sale at St. Paul UMC (near five points) this coming Saturday, August 1. Check FMN for the time. Proceeds go to missions.
