<p>There will be bargains here... you'll just have to rummage for them.</p></div> </div> <div class="written-by">By Amy Brozio-Andrews</div> <p>This weekend is the <a href="http://fuusalbany.org/">First Unitarian Universalist Society of Albany's</a> fall rummage sale: clothing for adults and kids, holiday decorations, bed linens, towels, and table linens. Sale dates and times are Friday, Oct. 3 from 9 am to 6 pm and Saturday, Oct. 4 from 9 am to 3 pm. </p> <p>It helps to do a little pre-game planning for this kind of sale. Here are a few things to keep in mind...</p> <a name="more"></a> <p>+ To make the most of a rummage sale, make sure you have time to, well, <em>rummage</em> a bit. </p> <p>+ Always try stuff on, because even though the tag says size 8 the cut may be closer to a 6. </p> <p>+ Look over seams, make sure all the buttons are there and snug, and that zippers work. </p> <p>+ Make sure there are no stains or holes; stand in natural light if you can. </p> <p>+ It's also a good idea to bring a friend who will give it to you straight about whether or not something works for you; there may not be a mirror around when you need one. </p> <p>To get the best selection, you have to show up at the beginning of a rummage sale. But if you're looking negotiate deal, you might have a better chance at the end of the sale, since whatever isn't sold may end up being tossed.</p> <div id="find-it"> <div id="map"></div> <h3>Find It</h3> <p>First Unitarian Universalist Society of Albany<br /> 405 Washington Ave<br /> Albany, NY 12206 </p> </div> <!-- find it close --> <div class="entry-footer"> <div class="entry-footer-comments"><a href="http://alloveralbany.com/archive/2008/10/02/lets-get-ready-to-rummage #contribute-comment" title="post a comment">say something!</a></div> <!-- <div class="entry-footer-tell"><a href="#tell-someone">tell someone</a></div> --> <div class="entry-footer-tags">tags: <a href="http://alloveralbany.com/tags/shopping">shopping</a></div> </div> </div> <!-- entry container close --> <div class="main-content-adbox"> <div class="ad-square-wrapper"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-3650355899438303"; /* individual entry sub post square 300x250 */ google_ad_slot = "5549462516"; google_ad_width = 300; google_ad_height = 250; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </div> </div> <!-- close adbox --> <div id="contribute-comment"> <h3>Say Something!</h3> <p class="contribute-comment-rules"> We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany.
