I found out about this site in a magazine I was reading recently. Real Simple or ShopSmart, I think? It's pretty cool if you like scouting for deals at yard sales.
Yard Sale Treasure Map is a planning tool that lets you find sales near you and plan the most efficient route to hit all of them. It takes all the sales listed on your local Craigslist board and puts them on a map. To use the site, simply type in your city, choose the number of miles you want it to search, and go.
You can even search the sales for particular items, like baby gear. Simply type in what you're looking for and you'll see a list of sales that have it.
Add your own stops (lunch! Starbucks!), add sales you found on sources other than Craigslist, and remove any sales that don't interest you. The final step is to print driving directions of your optimized route.
Pretty cool, huh!? There's also an app for iPhone and Android (Thanks Baby Cheapskate!)
