Portland garage sale season is June-October. Mark your calendar for these Portland neighborhood garage sales.
Since many people have transitioned to working from home for a few days a week or permanently, they’ve had to make room for workspaces. This means items once thought of as essential have been moved to the garage or closet. As a result, this might go down at the best garage sale season in history.
If you love a good find and a good deal, plan your garage sale adventure around these neighborhood events. Portland neighborhood garage sales offer a full day of summertime fun, as well as a cool way to see the various residential areas of the city.
Tips for shopping at a garage sale
Before you embark on your garage sale adventure, make sure you are prepared for whatever awesome finds the day has to offer.
- Have enough cash or a mobile payment app. These sales take place in neighborhoods and some are not close to an ATM. Help your fellow sale-goers by bringing small bills and coins. Or if you prefer a mobile payment option, like Venmo or PayPal, have the app ready on your phone.
- Make a list of items you need. Having a list of what is missing or needs replaced at your home will help you focus on great finds. For example, I am always on the lookout for canning jars.
- Choose your time. Do you want to get there early and be first in line for fabulous finds or do you want to make a deal at the end? Either way, have a strategy for what type of experience you want.
- Be hands free. These neighborhood sales can be very busy and you may have a long walk back to your car. I recommend an empty backpack to put stuff in and a comfy pair of shoes.
- If you don’t love it, leave it. You don’t want to have to sell it at your own garage sale next year.
