What wonderful ideas! I will add those to my notebook I carry around. In mine is our clothing sizes and measurements. I also take a thermos of water and some homemade snacks so I don't feel the need to stop at a fastfood place to eat!

I have a wonderful DIL that loves to go to yard sales. We will discuss what we're looking for the night before and plan our route to save gas. Discussing our needs before helps when we arrive - if we see something the other needs, we'll point it out to them. Saves valuable time! We usually start early and are done in a couple of hours.

The most successful yard sale we had was offering a plastic grocery bag of clothes for $2. My 2 DIL's and I got rid of just about all of our clothing (which was purchased at prior yard sales). Other items were priced and set separately. I live by a church and have plenty of off-street parking. We are doing this again this year!

Another post suggested posting your yard sale on local websites - never thought about it! Will do that also!

New to this site and so glad I found it!
