Millions will tune in, which means planning a garage sale on Super Bowl Sunday is probably not the brightest idea for organizing a sale event on an unofficial holiday, that is if you're hoping to make a lot of sales and expect decent traffic.

Like many of us, you've probably visited a yard sale and found that the sellers have a sectioned off area where they're giving stuff away for free, and seen other sales where you wonder why the stuff they're selling isn't free.

Free stuff that has value to someone shouldn't be considered junk, but rather items and accessories that could possibly attract a larger crowd to your event with the hope that they'll peruse more than just the free items and actually buy your stuff.

The great thing about free items is that you both feel good about giving and receiving something for nothing!
