Georgie was a character. She lived on a farm out in the country and instead of allowing me to rest on my sick days, she took me to all of the different garage sales around town.

I'm not going to lie, we had a lot of fun, and every once in a while ole Georgie would find a heck of a deal. This got me thinking about the different places to score a bargain here in Montana.

I'm not one of those people who buys things to buy them, but I have a few things I'm always looking for. One of those items is guitars. Whenever we drive by a garage or yard sale, I always slow down to see if they have any musical instruments for sale. You can also score deals at Estate Auctions and Flea Markets

Speaking of Flea Markets, one of the best in the country is located right here in Montana, but it's not open for long and is something you'll need to add to your calendar.
