I know what you mean. A lot of "flea markets" have turned into DOLLAR STORE outlets.
Tacony Drive in was a great spot , now it is just a huge dollar store.
Street rd by the fire house in Trevose is good.
Lambertville NJ is still good but every one up there figures on getting rich , very few bargans.
Ashton is still a flea market but some times there is almost no one there.
Berlin NJ is good and so is Collumbus NJ. on rt 206.
A bit of a ride and you cant bring your dog but you can spend a day there and not see it all.
Both of them have a Dollar store section but mostly its flea market junk where you can find a treasure cheap.
One thing about flea markets. I see people selling cans of food and other packaged food and stuff like batteries and even old shoes and bedding,,,who would by any of those items at a flea market.
Skeevy times two.

Default Rejuvenated Furniture

This is a good place to shop for bargains, other than going to a flea market or garage sale. Neat, clean and organized also. If your looking for clothing it is not the place to find it. But great for home items.

Rejuvenated Furniture and Finds
7430 Frankford Ave
In Mayfair
