Garage sales
Usually in the spring and fall, many homeowners will have garage sales to sell household items that aren't useful to them anymore. These sales are usually great for finding gently used furniture, items for the home and even clothing. The best way to find out about these sales is to check the local newspapers or watch for signs that advertise in the neighbourhoods. Most garage sales are on weekends and it is best to get there early in the morning to find the best items.
