Cara,
Here locally, we have “malls”, some are called peddlers’ mall. Folks rent booths and sell junk. A lot of it is like yard sale stuff, or overstock items. Often, the stuff is likely from storage units that were abandoned and auctioned.
Sometimes I go to other second-hand stores like Goodwill. Many of my furniture items are “free to me”. My friends give me stuff, they even drag it home for me from random places. I also do a lot of “curb” shopping.
My limit has been $5 for years. I might go a little higher on furniture if I think I can get my time and money back.

I hope this helps!
