Summer is coming, so that means it's also time for yard sales! This is probably the best time of the year. We all love a good deal. But some people are skeptical and don't really want to go to yard sales because they are afraid they might waste a few hours of their lives looking at junk. But this just isn't true. Here are some very common and very great things to look for at yard sales this summer.

1. Records

You can find some really great records at yard sales for super cheap. You might have to dig through sometimes, but it can be worth it.

2. Furniture

Furniture can be really expensive. If you are looking for some different furniture, yard sales are a great place to look. You can find some already decent pieces of furniture or you can even decide to get crafty and paint some of the furniture yourself.

3. Clothes

You can find some really nice clothes at yard sales for ridiculously cheap. I would highly recommend at least browsing through the clothes at every yard sale you go to because yard sales are the cheapest place you will ever find clothes.

4. Coffee mugs

If you are like me and just like buying coffee mugs, yard sales can sometimes have some really interesting ones. You can find really unique coffee mugs that not many people have. Just make sure you wash them.

5. Movies

I absolutely love buying movies at yard sales. There are obviously a ton of movies on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, but there are still some things missing. Yard sales are the best for those missing movies.\

6. Books

People often buy books, read them once, and then they're done. So people are always selling all sorts of books. If you enjoy reading, I promise that if you go out for a day of yard sales you will end the day with a few good reads.

7. Jewelry

Jewelry is another things people are always selling at yard sales. Some people sell more expensive jewelry and still want more money for it, but then there are people who sell everything for less than a dollar. Jewelry can be really pricey when you are buying it brand new so yard sales are a great alternative.

Honestly, you can find basically everything at yard sales, I just shared some of what I think are the best things to search for when you maybe aren't the biggest fan. Just spend a couple weekends this summer going to yard sales because you are bound to end those days with a few things you will be glad you bought. Usually.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
