Garage sale finds vs thrift store scores, I finally picked a winner
I used to hit thrift stores every Saturday for years, but last month I tried a neighborhood garage sale circuit instead. At the thrift store, I'd find decent stuff but prices kept creeping up, like $8 for a stained lamp. At one garage sale, I got a vintage cast iron skillet for $3 and a working record player for $10. The difference was night and day, the sellers just wanted stuff gone, not max profit. Has anyone else noticed garage sales giving way better deals than thrift stores lately?
