I don’t normally report on garage sales, but every year there is one HUGE garage sale that many of my bargain-hunting friends shop at and swear by. And it’s happening THIS weekend!
The sale runs tomorrow, Saturday May 19th from 9am – 4pm and you’ll find sales throughout the Lakeland neighborhood. I’ve never attended, but I hear it’s pretty huge. I have some friends that like to show up with trailers/trucks to haul stuff away! Do note, however, that parking is limited, so carpooling would be a very good idea (plus shopping with a friend is always more fun)!
If you’ve shopped this garage sale before, I’d be extremely appreciative if you can fill in the holes of this post with additional tips, stories, or ideas for making the most of this sale.
There is some information up at Lakeland Living’s website, along with a map of Lakeland (pdf). The general address if you’re looking to mapquest/GPS is 5801 Lakeland Hills Way SE, Auburn, WA 98092.
I’m tempted to go this year – will you be there?

Probably one of the most awesome freebies EVER
Are you following me on Facebook yet? If not, seriously. You need to. Good things happen to those that follow me there…
A couple weeks ago, a particularly HOT tip was left up on my Facebook wall, from reader Jessica. I decided to highlight it as a status update:
Now I hadn’t checked into this myself, but lo and behold! SEVERAL Coupon Project readers confirmed that they were getting new refrigerators…
And today, reader and dear friend Kelly shared with me that yes, in fact, she did get her refrigerator (pictured below and at top)! How awesome is that?
Kelly had this to add:
The whole process was so easy!
They scheduled the inspector the same week. The fridge came a week later. The guys were super nice (so much so that I had to mention it). The fridge is a perfectly brand new Fridgidare. With a tag of $599!! They also brought me a new shower head and light bulb 
{all from Puget Sound Energy}
Others of you mentioned that the fridge had to be 20 years or older and your primary fridge (garage/secondary fridges don’t count). You also need to have them come out and inspect it to see if you qualify. Call PSE at 1-877-341-2314 for more information.
HUGE thank you to reader Jessica for leaving that tip on The Coupon Project Facebook wall - and all of you who take time out to share your tips there, too. It’s so appreciated.

Remember, tomorrow is the FREE Moms Nite Out event (Thursday, May 10th from 5-8pm)! This will be taking place at malls across the country, and I’m pleased to be participating at the one happening at the Tacoma Mall. Last year’s event was very well done with free food (GOOD food, too!), free seated chair massage, free eyebrow waxes, and tons of gifts. I was really blown away!
Me at last year's event
Come stop by my table – I’ll be running a special giveaway, handing out little treats, and I’d love to meet you and answer any questions you have about couponing or saving money in general. I’ll also be speaking on ways to eat healthy on a budget.
I also wanted to mention that Thrifty Northwest Mom will be running a food drive there as part of Couponing for Community. If you have some extra nonperishable items laying around, would you consider bringing them? For more information, please visit Thrifty Northwest Mom.
And for more information about the event, please visit the Tacoma Mall website.
Will you be there?

Wow! I think I stumbled on one fabulous resource this morning, and I wanted to share it with all of you! Over at the Puget Sound Fresh site, you can download a 2012 Guide to all the farms in Puget Sound (pdf)! I’ve thought about assembling a similar list – but looks like the work has been done for me.
This download includes a comprehensive list of both farms and farmers markets for Clallam, Island, Jefferson, Kitsap, King, Pierce, Skagit, Snohomish, Thurston, and Whatcom Counties!
Even better, this beautiful download includes a legend so you know if the farm offers a pumpkin patch, CSA program, U-pick, tours, accepts debit, and a host of other amenities.
I will be personally bookmarking this resource! I think it would be fun to take my kids to tour some of these farms this summer!
Thanks, Tacoma Food Co-op, for sharing this on Facebook!
