From TOS: Freebie Friday
| Hello from Freebie Friday!
Have you noticed that yard sales are starting to pop up here and there? While it's not full-blown sale season yet, it's the perfect time to hit the occasional sale and make some great scores. While not totally free, sale bargains can often be nearly so. In fact, just last week I picked up three size 2XL Ralph Lauren, short sleeved dress shirts for my husband for 25 cents each. They looked like new and were even ironed and on hangers! This week I spent $16.50 and purchased two pair of baseball cleats, a pair of boy's dress shoes for an upcoming wedding and a pair of Heely's that are getting a real workout! If I'd gone to a retail store I wouldn't have been able to purchase one of these items, let alone all three! If you want to read more inspiring yard sales stories and even learn how to get items completely free, check out my April Digest. And if you're looking to bring in some extra funds by hosting a yard sale you'll find some awesome tips for that as well. Also, be sure and check in regularly at Econobusters.com where I'll undoubtedly be sharing my weekly finds. We'd love to hear about your best bargains as well.
