Easton Area Spring Rummage Sale List 2014

Whether you love a bargain or need one, rummage sales are a great place to find both everyday and unusual treasures for a song. Additionally, rummage sales help keep perfectly good but unwanted and unneeded items out of the landfill and the proceeds help support a number of local community programs sponsored by local houses of worship, from Little League to food pantries to literacy initiatives.

In other words, rummage sales are a win for everyone. Get gently-worn items for the kids, practically new clothes and other items for yourself and your home, or find some amazing vintage and antique oddities, usually at spare-change prices or for literally a couple of bucks for a bagful.

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 pass on the link to this list your friends, and bookmark it for yourself, and check back weekly. We'll be adding more sales and information as it becomes available.

See you at the sales!

Easton-area Rummage Sales, Fall 2013

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.

Spring Brings Rummage Sale Bargains

Along with the blooming of flowers, every year spring brings the season of amazing  bargains in the form of rummage sales.

Not only an opportunity to pick up some unique, or just necessary, items for a pittance, these annual charity sales also help support a number of worthy local causes, including community outreach programs, children's athletic leagues, and youth groups, to name a few.

And, by choosing gently-used items over new, you'll also be doing the planet a favor. For a lot of rummage sale offerings, like books, DVDs, and durable goods, it really does make a lot of sense, as well as good "cents". Many of the goods are actually new items, too, as donors often gift church sales with unwanted gifts and things they bought but then never used.

Rummage sales are also a lot of fun, as one never knows what one may find, from antique and vintage items to an eclectic mix of clothes (including great bargains on kids' items) to just plain useful stuff, like toys, tools, books, and more. Home baked goodies and lunch are also often available.

It's never too late to pop in on an open rummage sale either. The last day or hours are often when bag sales are held. For anywhere from a dollar to $3 or so, you can usually fill a grocery bag full of whatever you fancy, completely guilt free, since it not only goes to a good cause but is probably the least you'll ever pay to go shopping. And, due to the chaotic nature of these sales, some of the best stuff is still on offer at the end, having been missed by the crowd of early birds

We'll see you at the sales!
