oh how i heart yard sales!

Submitted by Budgetsaresexy on March 5, 2008 - 17:02.

I am 100% in agreement w/ buying items used. As someone with A.D.H.D., I usually get bored wit most items anyways so why pay brand new?

This probably affects me most in the Car and "extras" department. I usually scour Craigslist, eBay, and the like for hours until i find the perfect car. Only to want a different one 1-2 years later :) Same thing goes w/ items like guitars, video games, etc.

Although i don't buy many clothes used per se, i do frequent Rugged Wearhouse and Filene's Basement as they have mad discounts on nice quality stuff. And they're not used, just last year's "fashion".

At any rate, good post!
