Just look at the many people scouring garage sales in the summer. Likewise, thrift stores are always full of people. While they may have had to buy used in the early days of their marriage, they now likely have enough money to buy new, but they choose not to. Toaster Oven I bought a toaster oven at a garage sale for $2.

Sure I knew about the ‘White sales’ – the ones stores used to have in January on sheets and towels and such, but I really hadn’t a clue that there is a best time to buy many other things! You may decide you don’t need or want the item at all if you push yourself to wait to get a bargain on it! Winter clothes.

I give away perfectly good electronics because they are ‘out of date’ – they don’t work with new software. At garage sales, are you attracted to those still usable but slightly defective items that no one else wants? If so, the new fixer movement may be for you! Few try to repair or get it repaired.
