tag sales

Neighborhood bargain events

Tag sales are yard sales or garage sales—informal sales of used household items, typically held at a private residence.

The name comes from the price tags attached to items.

The term is regional, used primarily in the northeastern United States: We spent Saturday morning browsing tag sales in the neighborhood.
