A Yard Saling We Will Go

Posted by singlemom

What could be better than getting together with friends? Getting together to save money!

My best friend and I try to go yard saling once a year. We sometimes pack a lunch and snacks and drinks to bring with us, so we don’t have to spend money on food. Other times, we may opt to go out for lunch, dessert or both. It depends on how much money we each have on hand.

We are usually looking for things that we need for our homes, or for items to give as gifts for the holidays and other special occasions. This is a great way to save quite a bit of money. This year, I was also looking for things for my older daughters’ first apartment. I found a lot of great deals on things she can use.

We also go the Farmer’s Market on this day. Though it can be a bit pricey to do this, we can sometimes find great deals. We like the fact that the fresh produce tastes better, so we don’t mind splurging here.

We enjoy yard saling very much, and our time together can be very therapeutic. We talk about so many things. Whatever is on our minds at the time.

    Thanks! And, yeah, I love yard sale season. I walk around my town and neighboring towns most weekends, carrying a few canvas bags to carry anything that I can find good deals on home in.
