A Free YardSaleSearch Alternative With a Yard Sale Map
YardSaleSearch is a long-running listings site that many shoppers already know. If you also want a free option that works in your phone's browser, Get Garage Sales lets you browse the yard sale map, narrow to sales today or this weekend, save the sales you like, and send up to four stops to Google Maps in the order you choose.
What shoppers want from a yard sale finder
Whichever site you use, the same few features decide whether a Saturday morning goes smoothly: a map so you can see what is close, date filters so old posts do not waste your time, a way to save the good ones, a simple route, and free posting so sellers actually list their sales. Here is how Get Garage Sales handles each one.
| Feature | What to look for | Get Garage Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Map view | See every nearby sale as a pin instead of scrolling a long text list. | A garage sale map for the city, radius and filters you choose, in any phone or desktop browser. |
| Date filters | Jump straight to sales happening today or this weekend. | A Today only filter on the map, plus separate today, tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday and this-weekend pages. |
| Saved sales | Keep a shortlist of the sales worth the drive. | Save listings to a Saved sales page in your browser. |
| Route planner | Turn a shortlist into a driving order for sale morning. | Up to four stops in an order you set yourself with Up/Down; opens the sequence in Google Maps. No automatic optimization. |
| Posting a sale | List your own sale without paying to appear on the map. | Free posting so your sale can appear on the local map with photos and hours. |
| Address timing | Know when you can see the exact address. | The address stays hidden until sale morning to protect sellers; on sale day, eligible listings can be imported into the route planner. |
| App vs browser | Use it on your phone without installing anything. | Browser only; nothing to install. |

Which one fits how you shop?
Already used to a listings site: if a long-running listings site already covers your area well, keep using it and treat Get Garage Sales as a second place to check, since some sellers post in only one place.
Quick checks without an install: if you want dedicated today and this-weekend pages, browser-only saved sales, and a short loop of up to four stops you order yourself before opening Google Maps, Get Garage Sales keeps it simple.
Sellers: you can post a yard sale free here so it shows on the local map. For a wider look at other options, read our guide to garage sale apps and websites.

YardSaleSearch alternative FAQs
Is Get Garage Sales free to browse and post?
Yes. Viewing the map, the today and this-weekend pages, saved sales and the route planner is free, and posting a garage or yard sale is free too.
Do I need to download an app?
No. The map, date pages, saved sales and route planner all run in your phone or desktop browser, so there is nothing to install.
How do I find yard sales happening this weekend?
Open the this-weekend page, or use the map and pick your city and radius. The map also has a Today only filter, and there are separate pages for today, tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday.
How do I plan a route between yard sales?
Save the sales you like, then on sale day import up to four eligible listings into the garage sale route planner, set the stop order with Up/Down, and open that sequence in Google Maps.
The map only shows sales that sellers have posted here, so coverage depends on what has been posted near you. Pick your city and radius on the map; if it is quiet, widen the radius or check this weekend's listings. We make no claim that either service lists every sale in your town.
