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.

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. Put your unwanted Halloween decorations out for reuse by donating them. This idea serves well for the younger crew. Tip # 2 Recycle/reuse costumes. Don’t buy, make.

Sometimes, as we shop we see things we would like to own and decide to treat ourselves with a gift or two as well. So, hey, I guess I can take the tax reduction next year as well as this! However, I wait until spring and summer to buy decorations – and get them at garage sales. I know I do. In fact, I did today!

Fashion changes and new or nearly new clothing gets sold at sales or donated to charity. I can park my car and walk from sale to sale, getting a bit of exercise, enjoying the fine weather and seeing the architecture and landscaping of the homes along the way. 50 each (and cleaned and disinfected as well) on them.

Another source of clutter with kids is gifts that well-meaning friends and relatives give. While I appreciate the thought, those toys don’t get used often, and I feel bad donating them or giving them away. If something is cheap at a garage sale, I may buy it even if I’m not sure that I’ll use it.

If you are like most parents, you want to raise your children well – to develop their mental and physical aspects completely. Garage sales – I found a guitar for $5.00 once at a garage sale and bought it for my grandson. Most people know that music education helps grow children’s brains.
