A garage sale is a type of sale where individuals sell unwanted items from their home, typically held in their garage or yard. These sales often feature a variety of items, including furniture, clothing, toys, and household goods. The goal is to declutter and make some extra money while allowing others to find bargains. Garage sales are usually organized by homeowners and can be advertised through local community boards, social media, or word of mouth. They are popular in many neighborhoods, especially during weekends, and provide a casual shopping experience for those looking for second-hand items at lower prices.
