I love to go to auctions, estate sales, yard sales, and pretty much every type of sale! LOL I love finding older pieces of jewelry, something that reminds me of the past, or just neat items! Many times when a person dies, the estate law might include orders for a sale of items from the property. This is a great way to find deals on housewares, furniture, jewelry, and many other items! I have seem some families use these items as part of a consignment store, and sometimes they turn around and sell those items for profit at a yard sale!
One of the biggest ways to save when helping a child or someone you know move out on their own, this is one of the places to start looking for cheap items! Many times these items can be purchased well below cost, and it also benefits those selling the items! Another great savings at these types of sales are appliances and tools! I often see these go very quickly, and it’s because most people know how much money you can save on this type of sale. These sales are usually listed in your local newspaper, and many times there are signs located in the yards of the houses where these sales will take place. We had an elderly neighbor die a few months ago, and there were SO many cars outside our house for that sale. I even saw a man loading up a car in front of our house and asked him if there were many items left, to which he replied, “Not many.” 🙂
