Garage sales can yield a ton of freebies. Most people who hold garage sales just want to get rid of their stuff without having to toss it. Try visiting the garage sale when it is in full swing, hand them a business card and let them know that when they are done you will pick up anything that is left and give most or all of it to charity. If you decide to go this rout be willing to take what you don’t want. If you decide to buy something when you are there, ask them if they will throw in some other items for free. Always check for a freebie box and if you go on the last day of the sale, the freebie box may be full.
