Not just for those who need to pinch their pennies, rummage sales are an extremely enjoyable way to find unusual treasures as well as everyday items for a song and also help support a number of local community programs, from Little League to food pantries to literacy initiatives, all of which many Easton area religious organizations help support through their various fundraising efforts, which include these sales.
And, if you care about the environment, know too that rummage sales help keep perfectly good but unwanted and unneeded items out of the landfill, too.
In other words, rummage sales are a win for everyone.
But being in the know is the key to finding the best sales. Run by volunteers, there is no central place rummage sales are advertised--much like the events themselves, announcements are a bit haphazard, and finding them is often a matter of luck.
This is why The Easton Eccentric publishes two rummage sale lists annually--one each spring, and the other in the fall. And, we're pretty sure both rummage aficionados and newbies alike appreciate the effort, as past lists are some of our most trafficked posts over time.
So, be sure to bookmark this page and check back regularly! We'll be adding more sales and updating this as more sales are announced!
Happy saling!
