TO SHOP OR NOT TO SHOP? THAT IS THE QUESTION!

Dear Liz & Rebecca,
I’m a new mom wondering about consignment sales.  My friends talk about them but I’m not sure how I feel about buying used clothing and items.  What do you think?
Signed,
Cautious about Consignments 

 
Dear Cautious,
We feel that consignment sales are an outstanding way to find excellent buys on everything you’ll need for baby.  They’re a great place to pick up items that are generally expensive but will only get worn one or two seasons like special occasion outfits, jackets, pajamas and shoes.  Sales that are well run only accept clothing in good shape or toys in working order (usually with batteries!) so you can rest assure that taking time out of your busy schedule to go to the sale is worth the trip.  Consignment sales are also a great place to find extra items to leave at grandma’s or the babysitter’s house.   

The good news is that you’re inquiring at the perfect time – as spring unfolds, so do consignment sales around the area.  We especially love the Second Time Around Sale at Broomall Presbyterian Church from April 8 and 9.  Check out their website at http://secondtimearoundkidssale.weebly.com/.

Happy Shopping!    

Sincerely,
From the Stork’s Nest
Liz & Rebecca
