Explore this Weekend’s Garage and Estate Sales

With the weather predicted to be in the low 80s this weekend, grab an iced coffee, hop in the car, and take yourself on a treasure hunt through nearby towns.

Garage and estate sales are one of life's informal pleasures. Each destination has its own unique offerings. Whether some are a hit or some are miss depends on your taste and what you're looking for—or open to, because sometimes you've just got to have that quirky bobblehead. At give-away prices price tags, why not?

You're also apt to run across a useful item, a great  LP, or a luxury such as an Oriental rug, at low prices.

As long as you're open to the happenstance of what you might find, there's no better answer to stress-free shopping. When my son was little, I bought  a big box of Legos, plus a bin of Thomas the Tank Engine track for a total of $20.

And who knows, maybe you'll find an end-of-season hammock to swing in until late September under your apple tree—if that's not on your wish list, it sure is on mine.

Here's a list of nine with a variety of merchandise. Of course, it's all an unknown—that's part of the fun. See you there!
