The best deals are in the large back room, where everything will be discounted 50 percent or more, including Riedel wine glasses, Vietri tabletop items, Bodum and Sodastream brands.

Greed Gone Wild sale

The same garage sale bargainistas who troll through well-heeled neighborhoods for higher quality items will want to check out the Greed Gone Wild sale (4416 Excelsior Blvd., St. Louis Park, 612-810-4357). Local stylists with an eye for quality and design clean out their attics and closets and sell what's in them twice a year, including new and used dinnerware, chandeliers, goblets, silver trays, crystal, accent furniture, toys, jewelry, clothing, fabrics and books. Hours are 5-8 p.m. Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

Timberwolves for $2

Only a couple $2 tickets remained Wednesday morning (literally two) for the Timberwolves last home game vs. the Denver Nuggets on Thursday April 26 at 7 p.m. But after those are gone, check out the $3, $4, $5, $10 or the courtside or free-throw line tickets for $50. Club level tickets (including valet parking and complimentary food and drinks) are between $58 and $126. You can purchase the tickets from TicketNetwork or Target Center. The best deals at TicketNetwork are the printable e-tickets. If hard copy tickets have to be overnighted by Fedex, it costs an extra $25. Yes, it's true that the Wolves aren't in the playoffs and Rubio is injured, but courtside seats can cost $300 or more and club seats with VIP access can be close to $1,000.
