 Garage Sales 101:  The Basics 

 We have waited ALL winter and FINALLY...the garage sale season
 is here in Anoka County again!  In March and April, I have featured
 a 5 part series containing tips for how to hold a garage sale.  These
 articles are geared towards the beginner, a person who is afraid to
 hold a garage sale, or even the person that doesn't know how to
 start.

 I won't kid you, holding a garage sale is a lot of work.  It can be
 overwhelming.  But, it's also a great way to make MONEY and to
 CLEAN YOUR HOUSE OF CLUTTER!  Of course, we all know that
 removing clutter is always good!

 Click Here To Read The Entire Garage Sale Series -- look for
 Articles #7 through #11.  

 Happy garage sale shopping and I wish you lots of success with
 your own garage sale!

 Remember, even a wooden spoon can have attitude!
