Don’t Miss Haslett’s Indoor Yard & Bake Sale

If you're the kind of person who's excited to say, "I got that at a garage sale for two bucks," then I've got a date you'll want to mark on your calendar.

Be sure to circle Friday, June 6th on your calendar, because from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the Marsh Pointe Apartments (5895 Marsh Road, Haslett) is hosting an indoor community yard sale and bake sale—and it sounds like a treasure hunter's dream!

What You’ll Find at the Marsh Pointe Sale

We're talking several tables with artwork, jewelry, antiques, pottery, clothing, dishes, decorative items, books... you name it!

Oh, and baked goods—because you obviously need a cookie while you shop.

Whether you're selling off spring cleaning leftovers or looking for that quirky conversation piece (hello, a vintage lava lamp), yard sales are the perfect place to have fun. Just be sure to bring cash, because cash is king.

What NOT to Buy at a Yard Sale

But not everything is smart thrifting. Avoid:
🚫 Car seats: They expire, and past accidents make them unsafe.
🚫 Bicycle helmets: One accident and they're ruined.
🚫 Cribs: Safety standards change, and older ones might not be enough.
🚫 Mattresses: Bedbugs. Ew...
🚫 Cosmetics: A hotbed of germs. No!

Tip: Use YardSaleSearch or GarageSaleFinder to explore deals before you go. I'd also recommend checking out local Facebook groups: sellers often post preview photos so you can plan your shopping trip. Then, they'll update with the exact address the day of the sale.

Whether you're looking for that one bucket list garage sale find, or you're just perusing to see what's there, the Marsh Pointe sale is the perfect start to a season of treasure hunting.
