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. If you are in more of a hurry, find a thrift store instead.

Home decor, costumes for the kiddies (and adults!), Once the kids left home, we ended up with zero trick or treaters at our house on a state highway. We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year). Buy one then sell, donate or exchange it.

Fashion changes and new or nearly new clothing gets sold at sales or donated to charity. Home owners get bored and re-decorate or re-vamp their homes. Neighborhood sales are my favorite, and they are prolific in spring and fall. I used it for years and sold it – for $25 – last summer in my own garage sale.

But, because we leave behind the accumulated stuff in our parent’s household, we really end up with less that we had at home. We leave the nest – move out of Mom and Dad’s well stocked home. Moving to a bigger home. A bigger home provides the room you need – and has more room for additional stuff.
