The past two years, our family has participated in our subdivision’s community garage sale. Though I do not always have items to sell, my children enjoy running their lemonade and cookie stand. 😉
This spring, I plan to actively participate in the garage sale. While in the preliminary stages, I am accumulating items from decluttering, cleaning, and organizing our home.
As I work through each room, I keep items we use and love. The other items meet one of the following fates:
- Trash any broken items.
- Reuse the items in another space/room.
- Give the items to a friend who needs it.
- Place it in the garage sale box.
- Donate to a needy ministry.
With the box(es) of items to sell, I place them in my garage, which is the holding place until our garage sale. These items are not placed in any particular order.
They are just packed neatly into the boxes and stored in the garage. As the date of the garage approaches, I will price and organize the items while using time wisely.
If you are planning a garage sale, designate a place to put your items to sell. If the items are out of sight, you will forget about them since you really do not need those items anyway. 😉 Happy planning!
