Julie shares that National Garage Sale Day is observed on the second Saturday in August (August 8, 2026), sometimes allowing permit-free sales in certain municipalities and encouraging coordinated neighborhood sales. Julie explains it began in 2001, created by C. Daniel Rhodes of Alabama, who also founded other unofficial holidays, and notes that people can check local rules for permit waivers and plan to shop. Julie and Jake also discuss National Thrift Shop Day on August 17, when thrift stores may offer deals.
