Are yard sales a way of life for you?

Friday July 20

Had to go out of town today to pick up an old engine, since it was friday I decided I'd see what the yard sale situation was like in that town. Going only by the signs I saw on the road, I found 7 different sales all in the same area. There were some good deals at a couple of them. I saw a 32 inch tv for 20 bucks (I already have 3 so didnt need another one)then there was a nice dresser for 25 but since I had a motor sliding around in the back of the truck, I passed it up. On the final yard sale I hit the jackpot. I pulled up and there out front was a pile of stuff with a big FREE sign stuck up in front of it. There was a mens 15 speed mountain bike in good condition, a working hoover vacuum cleaner, and a brand new set of kitchen shelves complete with drawers. I asked the lady if I could have it all and she said she was glad to get rid of it and to take all I wanted. I tied the motor down with a rope and jammed it all in the back of the truck and went home happy. That was one of the better ones.
