I remember going with her many times. She's get a newspaper on Friday and I'd go through it and circle all the garage sales that sounded feasible for us as to location and sale items. Then we'd spend the weekend driving around to them. I picked up a few things here and there, but mom was the big collector. I attribute that to the fact she grew up during the Depression in a poor family of 6 people. She was often deprived and when she got to a point in her life she could acquire nice things, she went a little overboard. Now there's a term for that - hoarder collector.
