I love going to garage sales. This past weekend, I went out garage sailing just for fun. When Mom and Dad passed, my Brother inherited the house and all their stuff – which they in turn had inherited from the prior generation. On our last visit, my Brother urged us to take that lamp home with us. Free is good, right?

I’ve listed the type of business (apparel, toys, dining, etc…), and you can click on each listing to learn more about it, check for hours, or make reservations, if necessary. The closest parking is Orange Garage, which brings you out near Splitsville, Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew, and the AMC Theaters.

Dig out that box of material you thought you might use and pick out some pieces to use for wrapping, or to make bows. My brother once cleaned potato chip bags after turning them inside out and used those as gift bags! Make your own gift boxes using Origami. Make gift tags. Use last years cards to make your gift tags.

The collection, launched last year to tremendous response, was created uniquely for men to be enjoyed in their “man town,” whether that is the den, the basement or even the garage. On Instagram, entrants will be encouraged to upload a photo of their dad that illustrates what makes him special.
The Frugal Girl

My Dad was a blue-collar factory worker with an incredible work ethic (3 jobs at a time to pay bills if needed), Mom (& her higher degree) quit teaching & chose to stay home to educate me & eventually my brother; they started a ministry when I was a year old-we all helped with the maintenance & function of said ministry.

We had a coal stove at home, but my brother and my shared bedroom was just a few feet from the stove. When the ears were full and ripe she would pull one down and let me make a doll – using the cob for the body, the silk for the hair and the husk for the clothing. Plus, it can be really inconvenient to “make do or do without!”
