Yard sales
Yard sales are events in the US and Canada where people sell old things that they no longer want, on the grass in front of their house – their yard. People often hold yard sales in spring when they clean out their houses and get rid of things they don’t use or want any more. People who plan to hold a yard sale will usually put up notices around their community and put up signs to point the way to their house.

Yard Sales
“Everybody loves a bargain（n.减价品；便宜货）” is a well-known saying. A bargain is a good deal. It is something you get for less than its value. One person’s useless, ugly, or broken object can be another person’s bargain. That is why so many Americans do not throw things away. They put them outside their house. They put on a “For Sale” sign. And, as simple as that, they have a yard sale.
In some parts of the country, such a sale might be called a garage sale or a moving sale. Whatever the name, the activity is the same. People sell things they no longer want.
