Yardsalequeen.com Yard Sale Garage Sale Blog

I'm Chris and I am addicted to yard sales, garage sales, thrift stores and bargain hunting in general. Visit my site yardsalequeen.com - which I started in 1996. Yes, my website looks like it was made in the 90's and still does. It's kinda like a time capsule. I grew up in Clifton Park NY (and visit regularly) but been living in Lusby, MD for a very long time. I have also lived in other exciting places such as Schenectady , Watervliet NY and Charleston, SC.

Chris the Yardsale Queen
Lusby, Maryland, United States
I have a wide variety of interests: going to yard sales, garage sales, thrift stores, estate sales and rummage sales. Drinking rum and diet coke. After I had my son Jacob in 2000, I quit my job at a nuclear power plant after almost 10 years. Now I just sit home, eat bonbons and drink way too much diet coke. And plan my Saturday routine.
