If you can't hit up a dumpster...what's the next best place?

Here is my TOP 5 list (in a particular order) of where I have found the best deals:

1. http://www.craigslist.org/ (all time favorite)
2. Goodwill Outlet stores (basically you buy everything by the pound)
3. Goodwill Stores (1/2 price everything first Saturday of the month)
4. Salvation Army (sometimes a little pricey for furniture pieces, but still a great place)
5. Thrift Stores
6. Garage Sales (ALWAYS bargain for a lower price)

Tip- If you see something you like, buy it right then, you can always post it on craigslist (possibly for more than you paid) if you decide you don't like it later. If you don't buy it, then chances are, when you go back to get it, it won't be there (trust me on this one).
