I prefer yard sales, but do go to flea markets too.

I go every once in a while and I do enjoy it.  I guess the bottom line is that I would go more often if I had more money to spend.  No money to spend, so I don't need the temptations.

 looks for other beads to update the look, and makes something new. She showed me one, and it looked just like one I saw at the fancy deparment store. She looks for collectibles, too. She came home with a bunch of pressed glass creamers and sugars she got for cheap, and she scouts for blue carnival and cobalt glass.
My other friend scouts for things to remodel her house with, and she says she loves to drive down the street and the alleys near her house. She has found some neat stuff that people were throwing away, like a pair of folded doors, she sanded and stained them, they are the door to her bedroom. Some one else told me they got a chandelier that someone had pitched. I live in the wrong neighborhood. All I ever see are old chairs and sofas that are so broke down.
She found me a set of craft books from the 60's, 17 volumes. I loaned them to a friend so she could get the knitting and crochet patterns. Cost me 5bucks.Took me days to look through them all.

There is a flea market all year long where I am down at the jersey shore. It's a big outdoor one. I didn't get a chance to go last year so now that is nicer out I want to go walk around it

Sounds like a good day - especially the pizza and movie lol - I would love to go to flea markets have a great one that is one town over from us but due to mobility issues and breathing issues I can't walk around that much.  Hate the thought of it but have been thinking about giving in to a hover-round.

I love flea markets:) It reminds me that I am on a state fair. I enjoy seeing what people have to offer to sell and sometimes get lucky to find something I want for much better price. There is a flea market coming up soon around where I live, I will not want to miss it, and it gives me a chance to get out to get fresh air and streatch my legs.

I love flea markets but there are no good ones in my area.  When I used to go home to SC to visit my family there were several flea markets in that area and we would always go.  So much fun and some really unique items to be found.

not any more after I have a very bad experience with this sale person, she is so rude and inpatient, I thought she had flea in her sweater and cause this kind of attitude.

I prefer going to thrift stores.  A lot less walking.
