I’ve always loved going to sales – garage sales, estate sales, auctions, moving sales – no matter. To be successful, I think you need access to free or really cheap bulk sale items. You need to be the gal going in after the neighborhood garage sales and hauling everything left away – for free.

I randomly mentioned my difficulty to a friend and she just so happened to have a few that she wasn’t able to sell at a garage sale and was going to give them away. The prizes were Star Wars blaster guns ($2.40 Games & Prizes – $10.30. = $56.61 (under my $60 budget!). Talk about perfect timing!

One of my most prized possessions is my original Pictionary board game that I found at a garage sale for $2. This is a game I picked up recently during an Amazon Board Game Sale, and it has become a favorite among my friends. It’s easy for kids but challenging for adults. Pictionary (3+ players).
