Love em or hate em, garage/yard/rummage and other bulk sales of personal belongings pop up everywhere. For every amazing sale you stumble across there several duds. Some even make you wonder, "what were these people thinking?"

Frugal Victoria was born out of necessity during a time when my personal household finances were very tight; we needed to provide for a family of three with a very limited income.

In Victoria, BC, the average household spends a significant portion of their income on housing -- whether they are able to afford a mortgage or are renting. Aside from housing costs, there are additional costs attached to almost every good which must be transported to the island, more so in recent years with the rise in fuel costs.
