Years ago, Mom introduced me to the idea of going to garage sales. People sell the darnedest things at their garage sales. If you keep your head and are persistent, you can find many things you want or need, all in near perfect condition, for a fraction of the cost with NO TAXES due. I love a bargain.

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). Here is a short list of some of my favorite finds at garage, estate and thrift store sales. I’ve seen similar ones (Razors) for sale for $40 new.

I already had saved up a box full of wine bottles, in hopes of selling them at my next garage sale, so we didn’t have any cash outlay for those. Tax on paper $0.78. Tax on tape $0.64. We decided to re-label 10 empty wine bottles using a picture of an historical event for each decade of her life. Total cost $17.45.
