We don’t go to garage, yard or similar sales – don’t want things from other people’s houses in ours (we had bed bugs once even without doing this and I NEVER want to got through that again – over 10 years later I still have the scars on my arms from the bites).I have had problem with getting stuff out of our house. If husband sees things set aside to donate he is sure we need all of them. I had been bringing donations to the Salvation Arm y – but they shut down their location near us, so I switched to Goodwill – which did the same, and I switched to another location of theirs – that closed also. I would take the stuff on the one day a month that I went alone not for work so husband did not see me taking it (only my stuff – don’t touch his). So when life starts up again and I get to go out one day a month alone – I have no place to take donations. Almost all of the stuff is unused (including wedding/engagement gifts from 41 years ago or similar) or barely so.

Yeah, garbage saleing can be fun. I didn’t need that, but it was only 10 cents.

I am now unfortunately having to “clean” items my recently deceased wife bought through the years that she had “ideas” on what to make from them.

Stay home this weekend and have your own sale. You might even find something you like.

You’d think she’d do the same thing with her junk.

The cycle continues….buy someone else’s junk then sell it in a few years. Recycling at it’s best.
