I love going to garage sales. This past weekend, I went out garage sailing just for fun. These things now live in our garage, taking up space that we don’t have! Free is good, right? Someone offers to pass along something to you at no cost, should you take it? Maybe, maybe not. The old beat up bench. Money Tips'

That job ended the day the old ’63 Buick Special broke down in mid-delivery, the baby was crying the whole time, it was freezing out and it was my birthday! I’ve always loved going to sales – garage sales, estate sales, auctions, moving sales – no matter. Run an Antique Booth in an Antique Mall.

Lists for Santa Claus, or for birthday gifts start them out and soon they are eyeing and selecting from the wonderful bounty at the stores. Some get stuff from stores, the less financially favored head for thrift stores, garage sales, Mom’s house or the trash pickup routes. Leaving the nest. You need stuff.

Many of the other items I needed like cloth diapers and clothes for the baby in bigger sizes I bought from garage sales. The article specifies that Garlick did not buy any birthday or Christmas presents for her children, but I’m sure that they got items from well-meaning relatives.

We shopped at garage sales, turned down the heat, combined errands to use less gas, didn’t buy a lot of prepared food, cooked at home and the like. When our first baby came we used cloth diapers (so we didn’t have to pay for the disposable ones) and had to freeze dry them in the garage in the winter.

The third week of March was my Mother-in-laws 90 th birthday. Since the celebration was a meal at the restaurant in the museum, and since our birthday girl has already seen nine decades we decided on a history theme. The family honored her with a family and friends celebration in the Missouri History Museum.
