Re: When you go to yard sales ...
small furniture, baby stuff/clothes, decorative items for the house, I found the kitchen set we're using now at a garage sale (it's so ghetto though).

Re: When you go to yard sales ...
Mainly knick-knacky things for my house, maybe small accent furniture type pieces. One of my favorite things from my old apartment was a cute little shelf that I sanded and painted. I think I paid $1 for it. Garage sales and pulling from other peoples' trash was how I furnished my first place- some people tossed surprisingly nice things!

We get stuff for yardwork. We got a brand new lawnmower once for $40... we got a leaf blower for $5, hedge trimmers, stuff like that. DH looks at golf stuff also.

Re: When you go to yard sales ...
I look for older pyrex bowls (the ones they don't make anymore), furniture, and kitchen stuff.
I am also one of the only people who looks at books when I am there.
