It's no secret that I'm a consignment sale junkie. I love to sell my kids' outgrown and gently used things in them, and I especially love to shop them. Because who wants to pay retail prices for clothing and toys that are going to be outgrown before they have a chance to really wear them? Example: Addie's pink sparkly princess shoes that are already too small even though she's worn them maybe two dozen times.
Shopping a consignment sale is kind of like embarking on a massive treasure hunt - because you just never know what you might find in the thousands of items available. Some of our favorite obscure toys have been consignment sale finds! Plus, a Christmas shopping budget can go a lot further at a secondhand sale than if you just run down to Target on Christmas Eve.
I'm really excited that the fall consignment sale season is upon us, and I'm going through the closet in the kids' room to figure out what we need to get us through the fall and winter. So far, I know Lincoln needs new pants and both kids need pajamas. They certainly don't need any toys, but I'm guessing a few things may make their way into our house. I can't resist a good bargain.
If you're in Kansas City, you need to come along with me and check out the Just Between Friends consignment sales that are coming up in the next few weeks in Lees Summit and Overland Park. These two sales are huge and will have something for everyone! Here are the details.
