Here in the frozen North Yard Sale season runs from May-September. What I love about yard sales is your never sure what you'll fine, yes, you do have to go through a lot of junk but that's part of the fun. I do the majority of my child shopping at them. I have found that the best sales are in the middle class areas, the upper class ones people don't bother or they mark things way to high and the lower class ares well, obviously they don't have quality stuff.
I also go with a list, yup a printed out list and a lot of dollar bills and quarters. I also bring a large reusable bag, I personally like block sales where you can walk from one sale to the next.I have been working on my list of items I am looking for, some I probably won't ever find at a sale but again , you just never know!
