With summer ending, many of the fun finds of a good garage/rummage/yard sale here in Wisconsin are fewer and far between colder weather and ongoing pandemic concerns and considerations. However, we were able to find larger fall rummage sales, flea markets, and other events happening around Wisconsin!
We have also included some great thrift/and consignment stores around Eastern Wisconsin you may not have heard of before. Be sure to call ahead before you go; some spots on our list have hours change occasionally due to low staff since some of the only staff available are volunteers or the store is privately owned.
Notes: Most stores accept donations and are always looking for volunteers or staff, so if you have the time and resources reach out to one of your favorites on our list for more information.
We have included all Goodwill locations at the bottom of this list but are focusing on smaller thrift stores and consignment shops in the area. If we’ve missed your favorite, let us know, we’d love to add it!
