Jason and I have established a semi-regular tradition for those Saturday mornings when we just can't sleep past 7am. Garage Sales: The ideal way to shop on a budget, especially here in South Orange County. Also known as rummage sales, yard sales, moving sales, tag sales & stoop sales.
Don't get me wrong, I definitely have my favorite stores. But when it comes to decorating our place, I sometimes just can't seem to fork over the dough, especially when it means paying full price.
By following the fluorescent pink signs, we've happened across neighborhoods we would've never known existed, met some incredibly interesting people and made great memories, but most of all - had some REALLY great finds. Below are a few of our garage sale finds over the past couple of years...
