Mom Talk

With spring quickly approaching, it’s almost time for families to change wardrobes to accommodate the much anticipated warmer weather.  Families with growing children know it can be a daunting and pretty expensive task a couple times a year.  Luckily, there are many opportunities for finding great deals on gently used clothes as well as toys and other baby necessities at many area consignment sales. 

These semi-annual sales tend to be held in early spring and again in early fall every year. 

Moms and dads have been able to find a wide variety of treasures from shoes to strollers, blankets to bathing suits, maternity wear to mattresses, and so much more. 

With the rising popularity of these sales, keep in mind that there will be crowds and shoppers often line up early at the door waiting for the doors to open.  It is generally easier to keep your young ones home if possible and make sure to check out the sale online ahead of time as many only accept cash.

Not only are consignment sales a great place to shop, they are also a great place to sell.  You can do your spring cleaning and make some money back on items your kids have outgrown but are still in good shape. 

Should you want to be a seller contact the organization for specific information and rules as every sale is structured differently.

 To kick off the spring and summer seasons, there are local two sales coming up this weekend. 

There are a few other great nearby sales in the coming weeks to add to your calendar.
