i am the queen of yard sales so i go with or without other people. My children would go until my exhusband and i divorced then they spent weekends with him and i am such a bargan hunter i would go alone. So do you have you would you yard sale by your self.

Yes, I would prefer going alone. I can concentrate on what I am looking for.

I prefer going with another person because we can help each other look for stuff and it gives me someone to talk with and enjoy the bargains with! I also like having a co-pilot to help locate signs when we drive!

Most of the time, I go by myself. Once in a while either my DH, SIL, DGC, or a friend will go with me. I don't seem to do as well with people along. I like to go at my own pace.

i never go alone. i just feel awkward. i guess i'm just a shy person. i don't go to very many, but when i do i usually go with my sister.

I do both. Sometimes, all my friends are busy. There are weekends that DH is in school and I need to go. I give the boys each $3.00 for them to spend. They can spend it on whatever they want, but when it's gone, it's gone. I prefer to go with my friend, Cathy.

I sometimes go alone, I'm a yard sale addict, so I gotta have my fix, but I prefer going with somone. My dh is great at finding things I overlook.

I often go by myself but actually have more fun when the kids come along. They always seem to find something that I don't see but would like.

I prefer to go alone, occasionally I drag dss along, and once or twice I have taken dh back to go get tools, or to drive while I look for the signs.

QuilterMom · 08-28-2002, 08:47 AM

90% of the time I go alone. Dh will NOT go with me and none of my friends are frugal so yard saling with them is out of the question. If I do have company, it's ds and he's very difficult to yard sale with since he wants to touch EVERYTHING (he's almost 3 1/2).

I love going with my friend or sister, I prefer not to go with the kids. It's faster and less expensive to go without kids. I sometimes find gifts for the kids at yard sale and it's difficult if they are with.

Mom23boys · 09-02-2002, 11:37 AM

I like to go with someone. They help look for signs. When the boys go they always seem to find something they just can't live without! LOL!

I like to go alone. Anyone else would slow me down...or they aren't frugal and spend WAY too much at the yard sale for something that's obvious (to me) that it's not worth it.

Also, if I want to be out for hours yard saling...I can! I'm not holding anyone else back from doing something and they aren't making me stop...
