LITTLE ROCK — First-time Bargains Galore shopper?
Here are a few tips: You can't shop the entire 160-mile sale in three days. Pick out a stretch of highway and see what you can find. Next year, come back and try a different stretch of road.
It's August in Arkansas, so plan for hot weather. Bring plenty of water and make sure you stay hydrated along the way.
Vendors appreciate it if you have exact change, or as close to exact change as possible.
Plan to find some things you didn't think you would find. And make sure you have room to carry them home.
Posted on the Bargains Galore Web site: Please use extreme caution when traveling on U.S. 64. ... It can be dangerous to cross the road on foot.
Remember to always drive friendly and use your seat belts and turn signals. No matter how great a treasure you've spotted from the road, try not to make sudden stops. Also please do not make illegal Uturns when you see an item you might be interested in. Take the time to go to the next available spot to turn around. The item will probably still be there.
