Garage sales

I like checking out garage sales occasionally but rarely buy anything. Sometimes you can find some really good deals for things you need, like baby items and some electronics like used cisco products. Sometimes there is some nice furniture. Moving sales are best because then they are getting rid of more stuff and you're more likely to find stuff in better condition. Unfortunately this year we weren't able to find anything worth getting at the sales we checked out. I was hoping to find a baby swing and maybe an ok couch for the living room, but the ones we looked at were very used and ratty. Hopefully I can find the things I need at consignment shops and thrift stores.
