I used to have a yard sale of my own every year but it is such a hassle so now I just donate items to my church flea market.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />DebbieDebbie-Dabble Blog and A Debbie-Dabble Christmashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09393980831584145593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925673616741434546.post-83249543158031250312011-07-11T13:50:44.295-07:002011-07-11T13:50:44.295-07:00I love rummage sales AND thrift stores.

At yard sales you can usually get things cheaper, but you get hot and worn out going to a lot of them. I like to go to Community Wide sales though. <br /><br />At thrift stores you can shop in the comfort of the A/C and everything is one-stop and together but the prices are higher. But most of the thrift stores around here have certain things they sale on different days of the week at 50% off. And then every so often the Goodwill has 99 cent days on all clothing. And one of the Goodwill stores here has a ton of books, and they sale paperbacks for 99 cents and hardbacks for 1.99.<br /><br />I defininitely dont like to have my own rummage sale (and havent since I was young), but would like to just to make extra money. I just dont have the energy and dont want to give up my time to do it. It's easier to me to just to chunk it or give it away. Also too by the time I'm ready to get rid of it, it's ready for the trash pile. :)Cheryl Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05963705217645364456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925673616741434546.post-7489452438613674082011-07-11T10:58:12.755-07:002011-07-11T10:58:12.755-07:00I enjoy going to yard sales, although haven't ...I enjoy going to yard sales, although haven't been much in the last year or so. However, I will never host another one. I think the last one I had was about four years ago and I said never again. Too much work and not enough return. I just take my stuff down to Goodwill these days. :)Dayle ~ A Collection of Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727194212928446402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925673616741434546.post-7540368487401443662011-07-11T04:42:14.982-07:002011-07-11T04:42:14.982-07:00They are so much work!!!

Sometimes I give things to one of the Indian workers at school and she saves them to take back to India. Have a great new week.

I would love to get rid of tons of stuff in my house...but it is too much work to have a yard sale so I'll just drive to Goodwill. I never attend yard sales although there are plenty in my area.diane stetsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417123422917180979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925673616741434546.post-64580449123726527082011-07-10T20:30:24.059-07:002011-07-10T20:30:24.059-07:00I go to a few a year but just had a huge Antique m...I go to a few a year but just had a huge Antique moving sale of our own this weekend...it went really well.

We didn't have much money then at all. I always found wonderful bargains on clothes for him that looked like they'd never been worn. I also used to buy all kinds of knick-knacks, etc. But now I don't need a thing...and I need to start purging and downsizing!!BECKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184458949017900541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925673616741434546.post-8809253349656611162011-07-10T19:56:42.096-07:002011-07-10T19:56:42.096-07:00I love to go to yard sales - however I agree with ...I love to go to yard sales - however I agree with Linda - they are getting pretty junkie - maybe the economy.Chatty Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232040517217024681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925673616741434546.post-22482260424868365432011-07-10T19:31:22.841-07:002011-07-10T19:31:22.841-07:00I love yard sales and think you find the best buys...I love yard sales and think you find the best buys there!
