Tips for Shoppers

General
Get there early!

If at all possible have exact change ready for the entrance fee.
(Getting folks in goes much more quickly if the workers are not making change.)

Bring a friend. You can split up and cover twice as many tables quickly.

Consider renting your own table. If you have a table, you get to shop the other tables before the sale opens to the public.

The sale can get very crowded, therefore strollers are not recommended.

If you can go child-free, it will be easier for you and your child. If you have to bring your children, bring a friend, dad, or grandparent to help.

Make space in the trunk of your car - you never know what you may need to take home!

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. You might even want to leave that heavy jacket in the car!

Buying
Bring enough cash and keep the bills small!

Keep your money easily accessible but safe. A hip bag is a good idea.

If you are looking for large items, visit the large item area first as these items usually go fast!

Bring a large tote bag to carry your purchases.

Don’t be afraid to make an offer for an item.

Check all items carefully before buying. Check for broken zippers, missing buttons, stains, rips, or tears (especially along seams).

If you are looking at a toy, make sure all of the pieces are included.

If you are not looking for large items, consider arriving later during the sale. Most sellers will be willing to bargain as it gets closer to closing time.
