@LadyFleck just take it to GW now, save the tax write off slip and consider it a bonus when you do your taxes in another month or two!
I wish I had hand me down anything, and I'd happily sort through somebody else's rubbish just to not have to spend hundreds on clothes for me and baby.
@erin7264 You'd spend more in gas getting it to GW than you'd save with these clothes, lol.
I know I absolutely sound ungrateful, but she knew she was giving me crap and was unapologetic about making me "take care of it." Hence the annoyance. She does so much else for me and my son, outside of hand-me-downs, that I always fully express m gratitude for, I promise
As for furniture and anything decorative/unique, I pass for safety reasons and because I want my baby to be his or her own little person - and picking out the decor is so much fun!
TAKE ALL THE HANDME DOWNS!!! Oh my gosh, we have all my nieces clothes and it's been amazing. Unfortunately DD and my niece are now out of whack with the seasons but it has saved us soooooo much money. Luckily with #2, my sister had a boy 12 months ago, so now we are covered with either sex!!
