Garage Sale

We went to a friend's garage sale yesterday. Thursdays are big days in their community for yard sales.

We bought several items we didn't know we needed. A medium size cooler for $2 and a desk lamp for $2. Both useful items. A small clock radio for $1 which works great. A leather lady's wallet for $1 and a box of books including cookbooks for $5.

We probably picked up things we would not have purchased new but we saved $ on books we can read and pass on. The leather wallet will go on the shelf until my current one wears out so it is an investment of sorts. The clock radio is playing now but I had to place it across the room. It seemed to pick up interference from the computer.

I do not shop garages regularly but I knew the owner and felt good buying clean working things from her. There are many people who drive all over shopping other people's trash looking for treasures. With the price of gas, it sounds more expensive to hunt down savings.
