    I've seen the "curb alerts" on Craigslist too. I just want it all gone all at once.

I have to restrain myself all of the time. Anything I've put on my curb in front of the house is always gone the next day. lol I put a dresser and chest of drawers out there one night and they were gone the next morning. It's great--I never have to pay a pick-up fee.
    I picked up an almost brand new smoker on our street. It looked new but had some ashes in it - they spilled out in my van.

    Carry on, ladies.
    They're sensible shoppers, you're a frugal shopper. I'm a serious, straight up, tight ass. Lol.

    When me and my friend across the street had our yard sale--we ended up exchanging more crap than we sold--it was hilarious. I like to cruise on bulk pickup day early before the good stuff gets pilfered. I found this beautiful antique mirror that was etched with beveled edges. It's hanging up in the hallway upstairs.

    Bought 10 of these at the Dollar Tree for a 1.00 each. They smell as good as the Yankee candles at 10.00 each for the same size.

    How to get cheap/nice sunglasses 101.

    Know a waiter or bartender. When a nice set of glasses are "lost and found" have him/her call you and tell you what type/style/etc. Go to the restaurant and ask a manager if glasses have been found and give him a description. Wear "your" glasses home. Tip your "finder" an extra $5 next time in the restaurant.

    Last month was good at Hobby Lobby. They get a large influx of candles for winter. Clearance was up to 80% off. Got about 50 candles various size and shapes for $10.

    Owners/managers usually abscond with the finds after 30-60 days depending on policy. Which is why you get a waiter/server to tip you off.

I love to go to them, but I've tried putting a yard sale together before with my friend across the street and we worked ourselves to death for to little money. We both decided that from now on--it goes in the dumpster unless I can get a charity truck to come pick it all up at once.

    Or see if there's a Freecycle group in your area..you can give it away or barter.

    A "Ladies' Thread"? Ur thread is not gender neutral, and therefore not LGBTQ-friendly. Reported to Big Sister's Tolerance Brigade.

    We don't mind "ladies" of the more masculine persuasion either. If they've got great stuff to show and bargains to share--anyone can be a lady here.

    Watch out. We're girls and we will give you a makeover. You won't recognize yourself when we're done.

    Oh-oh! Pics of the good stuff! Need more bargains! You should see these two highback winged caned chairs I have. I got the pair for 30.00. I don't have a pic of mine yet, but here's what they look like. I have to recover mine still.

    I have a pair just like this. Mine are in mint condition because I bought them from rich neighbor down the street when she moved.
