How to Plan the Perfect Garage Sale Route
Turn a scattered list of Saturday sales into an optimized driving route. Here is the simple system savvy shoppers use.
A great route is the difference between scoring three deals and wasting half a tank of gas. Here is how to plan yours.
Pick your targets first
Add every sale that matches your wishlist. Look at photos, item categories, and verified seller badges to prioritize the most promising stops.
Cluster by neighborhood
Group sales that are within a few miles of each other. One side of town per loop keeps driving low and browsing time high.
Start early and end with backup stops
Begin with the sale you most want to hit. Add one or two late-morning backups in case an early stop is picked over.
