In the neighborhood of the house upon which we made an offer , the association had apparently declared Yard Sale Day , so I stopped at a few , but nobody was selling anything I wanted , except four old , stout dining room chairs we do n't have room for . I bought nothing , and returned home . I ate a big lunch .
According to the above context, answer the following question.
Why did I stop at a few of the yard sales ?


I wanted to buy something for my house .
