You can't beat it for incredible stuff. I love to look for the "theme of the summer." You know, that appliance that turns up at just about every sale.

4. One current staple these days at all garage/yard sales is |
|
a color printer. You can name your own price. People buy them and then when they need a cartridge they find out the price is almost like buying another printer.

7. Me too. And flea markets. |
|
Oh, and thrift shops. I hate shopping in the regular manner but going through other people's stuff is somehow very satisfying - kind of like going through your sister's closet. And of course, you find good buys.
