I happened upon some old canning Mason jars at a garage sale, and now we use those for everything–making iced tea in the summer, putting leftover soup in, holding our homemade laundry detergent. We bought some plastic leftover containers, but those frequently cracked or broke. Instead, we wanted something more durable.

Family Balance Sheet
NOVEMBER 19, 2014
We sold extra items that we weren’t using through Craigslist and garage sales. We lowered our living expenses and looked at our bills and decided what we could live without. Even though Amanda didn’t take over the paying of the bills just having her input and help with decisions was a huge relief to Daniel.

You no longer have to go to garage sales and flea markets to pick up these items. These items can reduce your home’s reliance on gas, electricity, and water while lowering your utility bills. Secondhand products are often just as effective and as attractive as brand new items. Just visit sites like Ebay, Amazon, and Craigslist.

Last week I visited a garage sale. This is a biggie while you are on vacation (you won’t get back this way, buy it now) or at a sale event (such as a garage sale or estate sale or auction). Reciprocity. Knowing that a deal won’t be available later is often an incentive to buy. Illusion of demand.
Saving Cents With Sense
MARCH 8, 2013
You can find lightly used clothes and toys at garage sales or thrift stores to save as much as 90 percent off retail, according to LivingOnADime.com, a site dedicated to frugal living. You can even negotiate your cable bill. If you have kids, purchasing used or discounted clothing and toys is a great way to save money.

We get the satellite bill and pay the price on the statement. Although our citizens don’t practice the very visible haggling over every item for sale that I saw on that Mexican vacation, I believe we are seeing a trend toward more price negotiation in the U.S.A. Garage sales – need I say more? off the price.
