The JOY of Finding What You Are Looking For

Garage sales can either be a waste of time or a stroke of luck.  You just never really know until you take a chance with one.  I decided that I wanted to get my little one a certain toy, but I was hoping to find a good used one instead of paying retail price at a store.  I figured I had two options:  I could try the thrift stores or I could check out garage sales.
So, I spent some time following garage sales signs today.  Most of the locations I just drove by, realizing by the look of things that they didn't have what I wanted.  I was on my way home, figuring I should call it a day, when I saw another garage sale sign.  I decided to take the few extra minutes to see what they had.  My efforts paid off.  And the best part, not only was it the price I was hoping to pay, but it was also still in the box, unused!
