I’m Lovin’ It – Garage Sale Tracker {There’s an App for that!}
*********************
You know summertime is officially here when garage sale start.
In the past you had to keep your eyes and ears open to find out where the garage and yard sales were. Scour the classifieds of the local newspaper, drive around looking for signs, look at fliers in a grocery store and search classified ads on local community website. Then you did best if you had a local street map so you could plan the best route to save time and gas.
Well, a TidyMom sponsor, GarageSalesTracker.com has made ALL of that SO much easier!
They have asked me to tell you about their FREE Garage Sale Tracker app for the iPhone !
If you’re not familiar with Garage Sales Tracker, you go to their site, stick in your zip code and it pulls up any garage sales listed in your area (flea markets and consignment shops too). Plus driving directions! So much better than wasting your morning driving around neighborhoods, trying to follow a bunch of poster board signs or your street guide.
If you are having your own yard sale or garage sale make sure you list it on Garage Sales Tracker so that everyone can find your sale!
Now, not only is GarageSalesTracker.com a GREAT idea, they’ve taken it one step further with the official iPhone app!–
What exactly does the Garage Sales Tracker app do?
Here are just some of the features:
- My Location – Using the my location button you can use the phone’s GPS feature to identify the zip code for your current location. This is especially useful if you’re driving around neighborhoods and want to see what sale are available in your area.
- Daily planner – We’ve add a new feature to the phone not yet available on our website that allows you to bookmark listings and plan your garage sale day.
- Contact seller – Want to contact a seller. Our application allows you to call the seller from the application.
And what are they going to do to make it even more helpful????
They are even giving you a chance to win an iPhone just so you can use their app!
Check out the giveaway HERE! They’re actually giving away 2 iPhones, so that gives ME you a pretty good chance…..Well, I’m pretty sure I will win one, so that means you have a chance to win one as well!! It’s super easy to enter, you just need to sign up for a FREE account on GarageSalesTracker.com , then tweet and/or make a facebook post about it! Contest runs til June 4th, maybe you’ll win and be calling an iphone “my phone!”

Are you one of those moms I hear fantastic urban legends about who gets up before the sun rises on Saturdays, meets her girlfriends at Starbucks, and with hot latte in hand as the glow of daybreak peaks across the city, descends upon goods freshly sprawled on cemented driveways to frugally supply her family with incredible garments and wares at astonishing prices?
I've never been one of those moms. I've envied them in my thoughts though, and wondered if I too could find such deals and rise so early to attain them.
I did buy a great high chair for ten bucks at a garage sale once, that I've used for all three kids and sits about 8 ft from me now as I type this. But I made that purchase at about 3pm in the afternoon as I noticed it while driving by a house on my street. I don't think that qualifies as me being a "garage saler."
I'm not opposed to new adventures though.
And I'll tell you what this new app makes garage sale hopping look all the more fun! I love the idea of sketching out a gameplan on the iphone and then systematically attacking!!!
So cool!
Thanks for the post, and thanks for the chance to link up!

That garage tracker is awesome. I am going to steal my husband's i-phone and I am going sale-ing.
I wanted to link up, but I don't think my post qualifies for your hop today.
I hope you will stop by anyway.
(Ps. I fond you from Pondering Princess.)

That app sounds really cool! I have an iTouch and could use it at home at least. I've only been yard-sale hopping once, but hope to do it again soon. I live so far out that I have to drive about 40 minutes to get to a good area for them. LOL
