I love yard sales. We have a community rummage every May and my family walks the whole thing. We bring home a lot of stuff.

I have never been to a yard sale. But where I live there is hardly any of them. It's not easy to find them in the city here. But I always wanted to go to a few.

We have a community garage sale every spring and I participate in that.  Usually make a couple hundred bucks getting rid of stuff I don't want.

Does anyone go to yard sales? sometimes if I am driving around and see one I will stop. now auctions, that's my thing. I will go to an auction once a week during the season

I use to but don't any more.  I have more clothes than I can ever wear and don't really need anything.

No not really.  Clearance sales at big chains offer new stuff for a dollar or two..so why buy used?

Honestly, I don't go to them.  I have enough junk already and over the past year or so I have made an effort to get rid of some of it.  I feel much better with less stuff and more organization!!!!

I love garage sales and have picked up some really great deals from them. I picked up a brand new, still in its packaging, Orgreenic saute pan for $4 and a really great quality two-seater camping chair for $10 in almost perfect condition. I also picked up a very sad looking Christmas garland for 50cent, I say sad because it was devoid of any pine cones or Christmas ornaments. I have spent time adding the most beautiful collection of different varieties of pine cones and now it looks gorgeous! It only cost me the original 50cent to make! Happy times.

I have yard sales I don't actually go to any.  I'm trying to get rid of the stuff I have now.

I love yard sales! Never really looking for something specific because then I end up spending too much time and effort searching and often it's not really worthwhile. However, sometimes I find really cool books or trinkets for a steal!

Usually it's fun to go to "yard sales" but one must keep in mind you are looking at things someone else doesn't want anymore so they may not be worth too much.  On the other hand, there have been incidents of finding many unique treasures at such event - same with "estate sales".  I think estate sales are a whole lot better for antique finds.

I love yard sales both to sell the items I no longer want and to get good deals on items I am looking for.

I love yard sales but haven't been to one in about a year. But I got many good things from those sales that I still have now. One day I will go again probably this spring when they start again.

I use to go to garage sales.  Now days I just don't want anything else that needs to find a place in my home.  It is crowded enough and I feel like everything has to have a place  ::)
