have you ever been to a garage sale? did you find something you loved or couldn't live with out? or were you just out for a fun day of "treasure" hunting? For what ever reason garage sales are a most interesting way to spend time searching for treasures on a Saturday morning. "others junk is another persons treasure." is the quote my mother told me when i was little. every weekend during the summer she would wake me up bright and early and we would head off on our treasure hunt. I find that quote true every time i am at a garage sale.

during the week i search out garage sales of all sorts we have the estate sale where people are selling their home and need a quick way to get rid of their home appliances. I find these sales have the best furniture and housewares appliances. Then we have the fund raising sale, for example, churches will host garage sales to raise money for youth group. these sales have a lot of clothing and older items due to the congregation just collects stuff and throws it all together. you will also have the multiple family sale, here you will find clothing, toys, housewares, furniture,and so on. basically everything you can think of. last but not least you have the basic garage sale. this sale also has many other names like yard sale, tag sale, and junk sale. most items here will very from family to

    It is common for people to throw away belongings that were once important to them. This is because our society has a tendency to be wasteful. In the essays “The Town Dump” by Wallace Stegner, “On Dumpster Diving” by Lars Eighner, and “The Town Dump” by Howard Nemerov, the authors all display their opinions when it comes to the topic of value, and items that have been thrown away. Through the use of imagery, the three authors depict their attitudes towards the idea that one man’s trash may or may not be another man’s treasure. Therefore showing that every object can have a value to a person that others see as invaluable.…

    When the economy is doing well, people are working and making money. In turn, Goodwill will have a lot of customers shopping in their stores. Donations are in abundance at this time. As the economy goes through its many phases and slows down, consumers do not have the money to buy products and donations slow down too. Many people decide to sell their belongings on sites such as E-bay rather than donate the items to Goodwill.

    Trader Joe 's is a privately owned grocery store that sells a variety of natural and healthy food and beverage options. Their headquarters is located in Monrovia, California and they have about 350 stores in roughly 25 states. It was started by Joe Coulombe as a Los Angeles convenience store chain in 1958, and then the company was bought in 1979 by German billionaires Karl and Theo Albrecht, who founded the ALDI food chain. Trader Joe’s competes within their niche market of organic and health food grocery stores with stores like Wild Oats and Whole Foods, as well as big grocery stores such as Hannaford, Roche Bros, and Market Basket. To keep costs down, its stores have no service departments and average about 10,000-15,000 sq. ft. The company 's specialty is its line of more than 2,000 private-label products (70% of sales), including beverages, soup, snacks, and frozen items. Some observers think that sales per square foot at Trader Joe 's are hovering at about $1,000 -- twice the level of typical supermarkets. Sales last year were roughly $8 billion, the same size as Whole Foods and bigger than those of Bed Bath and Beyond.…
