Tis the season of garage sales-Suzy's favorite place to pick up kids stuff on the cheap! Instead of combing through the local paper or wandering around the neighborhood, wouldn't it be great to simply type in your zip code and get a pre-screened list of tag sales in your area? Launched initially as a website in '09, this mapping tool sifts through Craigslist for all the upcoming sales in your desired location allowing you more time to shop. You can even input your address for door-to-door driving directions.
