The unofficial start to summer is finally here, and there are a TON of sales to take advantage of. Grab a friend, free up some time and save big at any of these first-rate secondhand establishments!

Spring Sale at Mom’s House: My talented friend and neighbor Holly is hosting a sale at her home tomorrow (Saturday) and it is bound to AWESOME. In addition to choice vintage for men and women, up for grabs will be original art, plants, household goods and handmade treasures by There There. You’ll find the address, hours and sneak peeks right here!

Assistance League Thrift Store: Though they’re closed on Memorial Day proper, this week’s special (half-off linens, lamps and furniture) continues today and tomorrow.

Resale 101: Lots of deals to be had today and tomorrow (note: this shop is closed Sunday and Monday), including 40% off women’s pants and spring jackets, BOGO on books, 30% of household items and 20-50% savings on furniture.

Hope Chest for Breast Cancer: Spend $100 get $25 off today through Sunday (both locations will be closed Monday).

New to You Thriftique: Perhaps the best deals of the weekend will be found at this Golden Valley store’s $5 fill-a-bag sale Saturday. Talk about a bargain!

Salvation Army Family Stores: Take 50% off clothing Memorial Day at all area family stores. If you’re in the mood to dig, the downtown by-the-pound location will offer a 99-cents-per-pound deal that very same day.

ARC’s Value Village: Similar savings are to be had at Value Village stores, with 50% off all the things Monday (except for the things with a white or orange tag). Village Rewards members will enjoy early access to the sale Sunday, but if you can’t go ’til Monday, don’t fret—they’ll be restocking like mad Sunday night.

Goodwill: In step with Value Village and Sal Val, most everything at Goodwill will be half-off Memorial Day, including clothes, shoes and furniture. Find the store nearest you here.

Wishing you the happiest of long weekends!

rummage saleAt the risk of sounding totally cliche, T.G.I.F.! This week’s been a doozy of the tiring variety, and the worst part is, there’s no good reason for all the fatigue! At any rate, let’s look ahead to this weekend…one that will, fingers crossed, be filled with secondhand shopping and maybe a nap (or three).

Hidden Treasures Mid-October Sale: Stock up at this St. Anthony thrift, and enjoy 40% savings both today and tomorrow, on everything from furniture to books, clothing to kitchen goods.

Assistance League Thrift Store Designer Sale: Shop this Penn Avenue thrift today and tomorrow for 75% savings on designer jewelry, shoes, purses and clothes. All art work is also half-off this week!

Vintage-Packed St. Paul Estate Sale: Finding vintage clothes at local estate sales is a crap shoot, but this privately listed, east-of-the-river sale looks promising, with an abundance of clothes, head vases, tools, military collectibles and so much more. Early birds will get the worm at this event; it starts at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow and goes ’til 5 p.m. (Sunday hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.)

Calvary Lutheran’s Annual Rummage Sale: Running today ’til 5 p.m. and tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., this Southside sale has become a fall tradition for me. I was there bright and early this morning, and scored some gems, including a vintage Woolrich car coat, a brass and glass candle holder, a new-old wool quilt, an oil painting study of a dying geranium, which I know sounds weird, but is actually quite pretty and some other various kitchen-y things. There’s still tons left, and more to be put out, so hop over to. Bargain-hunters take note—everything’s FREE tomorrow between 2 and 3 p.m.

Happy shopping!

Hidden Treasures September Sale: Spruce up your space, and enjoy 40% savings at this St. Anthony thrift store today and tomorrow, on everything from furniture to books, clothing to kitchen goods. Since prices at this shop are already reasonable, you could wind up finding serious bargains.

ReSale 101’s Birthday Sale: In honor of their birthday, ReSale 101 is offering 25% off housewares and vintage today and 25% women’s clothing tomorrow.

Assistance League Thrift Store Open Sunday: As part of Penn Avenue’s Penn Fest, the Assistance League Thrift Store in Richfield will be open from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, a day they’re typically closed. Show this 30%-off coupon and save big bucks on any one regularly priced item.

Rank & File x Hello Vintage Pop-up Shop: You’ve got one more shot at catching these lovelies before they pack up and head back to the Mall of St. Paul. Catch them at Bull Run tomorrow between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. and Sunday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. And tune in here tomorrow to what I found at their sale last weekend. It’s pretty major!

Wishing you happy, relaxing weekends.

rankfile + hello vintageFor days I’ve been thinking up ways to best break my blogging hiatus, and then last night it hit me. Why don’t I tell you about a couple super-sweet secondhand shopping events, happening this very weekend? Sounds good, right? Right!

Rank & File x Hello Vintage Pop-up Shop: Aw man, where to start? I guess with Libby and Katie, the talented women behind these businesses and this can’t-miss event. These girls are picking pros, each with their own strain of impeccable taste, keen eye for design and a selective inventory that runs deeps. Usually one has to trek to the Mall of St. Paul in order to peruse their collective stash of fairly priced ’60s-’80s-era housewares, artwork, handmade goods and textiles, but this weekend, they’ve hauled it all to Minneapolis so they can pop up next to Bull Run’s original location. How convenient is that? Catch them there tomorrow between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. and Sunday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. And tune into their Instas—@rankandfile and @hellovintagemn—for sneak peeks of what’s up for grabs. (So much good stuff, I can already hear my wallet weeping.)

The Most Glorious Garage Sale: My friend and business partner Rae and I have lots in common, including a shared tendency to hoard inordinate amounts of vintage in our basements. Fortunately for all of us, she’ll be setting tons of it out to sell at her rummage sale tomorrow, starting at 8 a.m., including loads of clothes, shoes, small furniture, tasteful modern and vintage home decor, accessories, housewares, linens, crafts supplies and other bargain-priced miscellany you’ll definitely want to buy. Go early and bring cash! 

Wishing you wonderful, thrifting-filled weekends dearies!

Hunt & Gather’s Bi-Annual Sale: Take 20% off at the hippest “antique” store in town, today through Sunday. Save on vintage decor, furniture, one-of-a-kind found objects and all kinds of random wonderfulness you never knew you needed.

Fill a Bag for $5 at New to You Thriftique: If the thought of stuffing a grocery bag full of clothes, shoes, outerwear and paying only $5 for the whole shebang excites you, head over to New to You Thriftique tomorrow through Tuesday. There’s no limit on how many bags you can fill, and kids’ clothes are included in this deal.

Hope Chest’s Go for the Gold Sale: Pick your metal and take anywhere from 20-40% any one item today through Sunday. Additionally, belts, shoes and purses are 40% off, and all winter clothing is a whopping 90% off.
