I love to shop garage sales. Band with neighbors or friends to buy school supplies in bulk – then spit the cost between you. Bulk buys can be a lot cheaper. Rent Don’t Buy. If your child is wanting to take music lessons, think about renting the instrument instead of buying. Buy don’t rent.

I’ve always loved going to sales – garage sales, estate sales, auctions, moving sales – no matter. I rented a booth in an antique mall in a neat old building out in a small town close by us and went out after antiques to fill it. Most garage sales don’t have many antiques – or even collectibles.

Family Balance Sheet

Every year, we split the rent on a beach condo with other family members to make a week away affordable for everyone involved. We plan on participating in our neighborhood''s yard sale next month to raise our vacation funds. We told our daughters that they could set up a lemonade stand at the yard sale to earn their spending money.
