SA ThriftGarage Sales in San Antonio Today: How to Find What’s On Near You
It is the most-searched question in thrifting: what garage sales are on today, near me? Not this weekend sometime — today. This page is the honest answer for San Antonio: where today's sales actually get listed, how to work the list in two minutes, and how to chain three driveways into one good morning.
The live answer: the Deal Board
The SA Thrift Deal Board is a live list of garage sales, estate sales, moving sales, and curb alerts across San Antonio, Boerne, New Braunfels, and Schertz — posted by neighbors and gathered from around the web every day. It is the page to open with your coffee. Three moves make it work:
- Pick your city. The board covers four cities — San Antonio plus Boerne, New Braunfels, and Schertz. Set yours so "near me" actually means near you.
- Use the categories. Garage sales, estate sales, free stuff — filter down to the hunt you are on.
- Check the end times. Sales that end today get picked clean by noon. The early list is the best list.
Weekend mode: the map and the route
On Saturday mornings, switch to the weekend garage sales page — everything on for the weekend in one place — and chain your stops with the route planner instead of zigzagging across town. A dense cluster of ordinary sales beats one perfect sale across the city, every time. Our weekend hunter's guide (from the blog) walks through the whole method.
Free stuff etiquette
Curb alerts and free listings move fastest of all — sometimes in minutes. The rules are simple: first come, first served; no holds unless the poster offers; if you say you are coming, come. And when you take something, a quick thank-you in person costs nothing and keeps neighbors posting.
Never miss a day: deal alerts
Joining SA Thrift is free, and members can get deal alerts and the Thursday digest of the week's best sales by email. Sign up on the board, set your city, and let the list come to you — especially in garage-sale season, when the good estates post midweek for Saturday.
Selling? Your sale belongs on the same list
Posting your garage sale is free, takes two minutes, and puts it in front of the same hunters reading this page. Posting for Small Business Saturday (Nov 28) is open now too — see the Shop Small guide. List it where the hunters already look.
