Since moving back to Shepparton
almost 2 years ago my mum and I have gone to garage sales almost every Saturday.
This is how I plan them out so we can
go to as many of them as possible!
On a Friday I get the local paper, it
has all the garage sale listings in it. I then cross out the ones on Sunday
(only 2 or 3 out of 20 are on a Sunday) and the ones too far out of Shepp. Then
I use Google Maps!
I input each address listed in the
paper. I end up with 15 to 20 destinations at a time.
I then arrange them into an order so we
don’t go back and forth.
I end up with a map like this:
Over the months I have found some
wonderful things, and from now on will blog about them in more detail!
Here is a small collection of a few
finds!
