Running a garage sale is a lot like working at a retail establishment, so bring out the salesperson within you. Greet your customers with a friendly smile as they arrive. Ask customers if there is anything you can help them with. Then let them browse if they say no. You want people to feel comfortable at your sale and not like they are being watched or judged. Offer package deals (if a person buys a blender, for example, why shouldn't they buy those margarita glasses as well?), and reward big buyers with bulk discounts. Don't just hope that your goods sell themselves. Always have several people at the sale for the sake of convenience and security. You can ask your family members or friends to help out and repay them with a small fee or treat them to a meal afterward. Bathroom breaks are made easier with extra help. When you need one, you can keep the sale running smoothly. Never leave the sale unattended for more than a few moments at a time and avoid leaving the sale under the watch of small children. As your sale progresses, things will unavoidably get disheveled, disorganized, and possibly even broken. If you want to sell as much as possible, you should try to keep things looking nice. Straighten items as you walk by them and while you speak to customers. Move items around as you sell them, putting forward new and premium items in the front. Even though your prices are clearly marked, some people will try to haggle. Play along; haggling can be a fun experience, and you'll likely make a lot more sales if you're willing to reward these bargain hunters. Don't be afraid to decline an offer that considers all offers. After all, you're trying to get rid of this stuff. Be sure not to drop your prices too early in the day. If you've successfully organized your garage sale, you should bring in plenty of customers that are willing to pay the full price. If you're having a multi-family sale, haggling on friends' items should only be done with their permission. If a customer isn't willing to compromise on their low-ball offer, say, "It's not mine. I'm selling this for a friend, so I have to stick with their price for you and the other buyers". If you still have items left over during the final scheduled hours of your sale, then go ahead and slash prices. Some deals you can offer: Buy-one-get-one deals. Bulk discounts. Two for the price of one. Half priced items after a certain time. You never know when someone's going to come across your sale, even if traffic has died down. This is especially relevant if you've set a specific window for your garage sale, such as 9 am to 3 pm, and even more so if you've posted the times for the sale online or in the paper. You may continue to get occasional customers all the way up to the end of the sale. If you wait until after closing time before you start to pack up, you may find that some stragglers will come by. Sometimes people will come by to offer you a set dollar amount for the entire load! Don't just throw perfectly-good items into the landfilltry to find someone who needs the things that you don't. You can post ads online or posters around your neighborhood advertising the things you will be giving away. You can tell your friends, family, and neighbors about the items you will be giving away, asking them if any of them are in need. Check with local charities and thrift stores. Some will pick up items that you don't sell and put them to good use. Try to take down the signs as soon as possible to help keep your neighborhood and community clean. Nobody likes to see old, faded, and sagging signs taped up to poles. Ask a friend or family member to take down signs right after closing time so you can continue to sell or clean up. If your address is written on a sign, and you leave it up in your neighborhood for weeks after the sale, everyone will know where you live. Furthermore, you might continue to get prospective customers showing up at random times.

Q: You will be mixing your salad dressing in this jar. If you do not have a jar, you can use a glass bottle instead. Avoid using plastic, as that can affect the flavor. You will need 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper. For a heavier dressing, use extra virgin olive oil. If you want a lighter dressing, use light olive oil instead. You can also use canola, grape seed oil, or vegetable oil instead of olive oil. These will give you a more delicate flavor. Instead of white wine vinegar, you can also use apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, or rice vinegar. You can customize your salad dressing by adding some fresh herbs, honey or sugar, or garlic. Here are some options for you to choose from: For a fresh, herbal touch, add 1 - 2 tablespoons of chopped, fresh herbs, such as basil, cilantro, parsley, mint, or thyme. For a sharper flavor, add 1 finely-mined garlic clove. You can also use a garlic press instead. For a cheesier option, add 2 tablespoons of finely grated or crumbled cheese, such as parmesan.

Article: Starting with the bottom of the shirt, roll or fold the bottom of the shirt up until your torso is exposed. This gets the majority of the shirt bunched together in one place, leaving the harder parts, like the neck and arms, for last. Keep rolling it upwards, bunching it so that the bottom of the shirt is now around your shoulders. You may have to push hard to stretch the bottom of the shirt around your shoulders, depending on how tight the shirt is. Once the shirt is completely over your shoulders, pull the neckline up over your head. The folded lower portion of the shirt will still be stretched around your shoulders, and the sleeves will still be on your arms. If you need to protect your hair-do, use both hands to stretch the neckline over your head without touching your hair. Now that your neck is through and the shirt is stretched around your upper body, raise your hands up. The shirt will pop off of your head and you'll only be wearing the shirt on your arms. Simply lower your arms and remove the shirt. This might be a little tricky if the shirt has tight, long sleeves, but tug on the shirt until it comes off. You're now shirtless!
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Roll the shirt up your torso. Push the rolled torso portion over your shoulders. Pull the neck over your head. Extend your arms. Take the shirt off your arms.
