With apologies to my husband the Cubs fan, I’m much more excited about April ushering in garage sale season than baseball season. (Although I’ll certainly be cheering for the Cubbies Monday!)

In addition to this year’s unofficial “kick-off” event, a huge neighborhood sale in the West End (see below), look for more listings on Cragislist and the Times-Dispatch.

100-Family yard sale at Andover Hills, near Pemberton & Mayland in the West End. The sale will run 7am to 3pm Saturday and Sunday. A new twist to the neighborhood yard sale: each purchase will enter you in a raffle for a flat panel TV! (Source: Downtown Short Pump)

Spring Fling at Wine & Beer Westpark – All day sale with tastings from 1-4

Make no excuses this year, and join us in celebrating Spring by letting you hair down. We’ll have terrific specials running down both the beer and wine aisles (how about $5 six packs – on beers that don’t begin with bud, coors, and miller – two for the price of one, and 10% off Belgians, to start!). Oh! The wine deals too – 10-20% off stacks and bins, $30 true Champagnes & Columbia Crest Res Cab, 10% off ½ cases, and 15% mixed cases – I think you’ll be happy with them as well.

We’ll have two raffles this year! A $100 gift certificate. And, I can’t even believe I’m doing this, my 2000 Westvleteren 8

Old Navy printable coupon for 50% off one item, in-store. You can either find your own coupon following the directions found in this Slickdeals thread, or print the Slickdeals version because apparently it’s not a unique code. Either way, I’d recommend using it sooner rather than later, because there’s a distinct chance Old Navy will stop accepting them due to inevitable abuse.

Check this post for any updates I find over the weekend!
