consignment sales

Does anyone else plan on shopping at local consignment sales?  I never knew how big these were until I had my DD.  

I was so excited that the biggest one in our area was the weekend after we find out what we are having.  I am hoping to get a good amount of newborn and 0-3 clothing.  I need this whether we have a boy or girl because my kids' seasons will not match up since DD was born in February.  I also want to watch for a 2nd bouncy seat and possibly a rock n play.  

I would much rather try to get a lot of stuff at the sales than buy everything new.  If I cannot find what I want, then I will shop around.

  • Almost everything I bought with DS was either consignment sale or yard sale.
  • I've had 2 consignment sales on my calendar for over a month now.  I cannot wait!

  • I just got a ton of stuff at one recently. I love getting deals!
  • I have gone to two and got some great deals on maternity clothes, baby clothes, Moby wrap, diaper bag, and a crib bedding. I will probably go to at least one after the baby shower as well. I have also joined my areas online facebook children's consignment sales. I never knew until recently that all these great resources existed
  • I do plan on shopping there. The one around us is 2 weeks after we find out the gender. I am hoping to find some big ticket items ( High Chair, Playpen, Stroller...)   If I can get big ticket items, I don't feel so bad spending a little extra money for new baby clothes and the money I know I am getting ready to put out for cloth diapers

  • If you are into sales see if you area hosts a "multiples" sale- meant for family who have twins or other multiples they open to the public after all their members have had a chance to shop.
  • I love consignment. I prefer yard sales though. I always find better stuff.
