Years ago, Mom introduced me to the idea of going to garage sales. People sell the darnedest things at their garage sales. Garage sales take time, you have to hit quite a few before you find the item you want or need. My neighbor’s garage sale was almost over when I stumbled on it.

While I appreciate the thought, those toys don’t get used often, and I feel bad donating them or giving them away. Of course, the kids aren’t the only ones to be blamed. If something is cheap at a garage sale, I may buy it even if I’m not sure that I’ll use it.

Fashion changes and new or nearly new clothing gets sold at sales or donated to charity. Another benefit is that I am cutting the governments out of the loop – there no sales taxes on used stuff (except big things of course, like boats or cars). Sales are a great place to find your Christmas décor. Go Frugal'

Brian is very good at living below his income, and that has made a big difference in our ability to stay on budget in general over the course of our marriage. Hosting garage sales & reselling items. Being married to someone who is a natural saver has saved me the most money. Yes to both!
