Everything You Need to Know to Get Rid of Unwanted Stuff
Host a Successful Yard Sale
Is your garage, basement or closet overflowing from the heaps of stuff you’ve been saving? Do you rationalize this hoarding with a just-in-
case scenario? If so, these times of self-isolation due to the coronavirus pandemic may offer the ideal chance to prepare to put those languishing piles to good use
in someone else’s home. Yard sales are a great way to clear out, recycle and make some extra cash. Plan now for a summer yard sale and have fun bringing the whole family into the process.
Follow these suggestions for a successful sale and a clutter-free home.
