Habitat for Humanity Charity Garage Sale

What is it that we love most about estate, garage and yard sales? I enjoy seeing other people's stuff. It's interesting to discover new objects, tools, jewelry and things that other people can tell you about.

The bargains - can't beat'em. Where else can you buy something of quality for less than a dollar?

Grab a friend and embark on a fun-filled day of sale hopping.
