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. Typical garage sale prices are $.25

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. Search the attic, the backs of the closets, the garage and see what inspiration presents. Dad’s old cowboy hat and a rope from the garage can be the start of a cowboy get up.

I pulled out clothes that I don’t wear and I’ll donate to the thrift store. The shoe shelf in our garage. In the first 3 weeks of 2014, I have made some decluttering progress. I reorganized my bedroom closet and dresser. I reorganized years worth of photos that were in boxes. My family has a shoe addiction.

However, I wait until spring and summer to buy decorations – and get them at garage sales. Stores also stock up on gift sets with cosmetics for the holidays and may need to move it fast in January. These get donated to thrift stores or placed in consignment shops so you might keep checking your local stores for these.

Fashion changes and new or nearly new clothing gets sold at sales or donated to charity. Here is a short list of some of my favorite finds at garage, estate and thrift store sales. I used it for years and sold it – for $25 – last summer in my own garage sale. My ribbon however came from a garage sale.

Some get stuff from stores, the less financially favored head for thrift stores, garage sales, Mom’s house or the trash pickup routes. You donate to suitable charities. Maybe you put it at the curb, hoping someone will take it and use it – or you sell it at a garage sale or some other used stuff venue.
