Hi! I just found this blog searching, for all things, "Garage Sale Gallery." I'm a long-time cheapie, but not much of a cook, so your site is very interesting to me. I also like the way you highlight food specials around town. Thanks!
Glad you can make use of the information.
I've been doing this for years, and finally decided to post it for other people to use as well.
