I found everything I needed for the summer until I returned to work, regained self-confidence, and lost the weight. I generally target affluent condominiums and townhome neighborhood sales because the singles and childless couples have lots of disposible income, residents often participate in the sale to mingle with neighbors versus maximize proceeds, and minimal storage spaces makes packing items up undesirable and bargaining easy. Sometimes I go very early (30 minutes before posted opening) and again around 11:30. You get choice picks early and cheap or FREE items in the afternoon.

A good way to make extra income during these challenged Economic times.

I usually go early in the morning and sometimes about 45 mintues or so before closing time, when I can make deals and people are more willing to negotiate...I love garage saling, most of my house has been decorated from treasures i find or parts i have found from here and there and constructed into something new.

Usually I am looking for clothes for my children so I don't stop and waste time looking at the items that will most likely still be there after I first check out the clothes. I also like to look at the jewelry and household items but make sure to look at the kid's clothes first thing off the bat. When I look through the listing in my paper, I also mark the ones that say kid's clothes and try to go to those first. I just love garage sales and they are sort of a treasure hunt for me.
