After reading Jan Holman's helpful article full of hints and tips for holding a successful yard sale, Todd & Kelly McGregor of Chico were inspired to hold a yard sale of their own! They arranged for two other families to come over to their house on a Saturday in late September for a multi-family sale. The fact that they live in a central location in Chico was helpful, but Jan's tips are what really made the day run seamlessly. Using stickers for pricing items in a simple way, grouping like-items, being ready for early-birds and laying things out to keep things un-cluttered lead to a easy and fun yard sale. The McGregors and their friends cleaned things up and priced items the night before and held their sale on just one day. Although they were exhausted at the end of the day, they had rid their garage of lots of old "stuff" while diverting it all from the landfill and raised over $600!! What a great way to clean up and be green while earning some "green" at the same time!!
