How I Got Over 50 Items for Less than $50 at a Kid’s Consignment Sale

Blog

How I got over 50 items for less than $50 at a Kid's consignment store. #dallas #savings #deals #frugal

I’m envious of coupon shoppers and bargain hunters. I’ve never tried to be a couponer but watching people’s success stories always blow me away! One thing I am is a bargain hunter. I love a good deal! I don’t mind searching clearance racks or going through endless shelves of things on sale just to find a good deal. When I heard about Just Between Friends, I knew I had to go.

Just Between Friends is an event held a few times a year that is a mega sale for baby and children’s clothes, accessories, toys, decor. It’s seriously anything and everything you can imagine that you would need for a child or a pregnant woman.  I don’t have kids but I do have 7 nieces and nephews that I love to spoil! If I had all the money in the world, it would be spent on those babies.  Not only do I have lots of nieces and nephews to buy for but I just happen to be hosting a baby shower the weekend after the sale, so I am ready to shop!

I didn’t know what to expect. I had heard that it gets crazy, that there would be a line of 400 women trying to get in so they can grab the best stuff before it’s gone. Thankfully, I was able to get in before the pre-sale and see Just Between Friends before the craziness went down.  I went in with a game plan to shop only for the baby shower, so I was looking for baby boy clothes, gifts, and small items that a new mom could use.

After seeing the crazy amount of EVERYTHING, my plan went out the door. I was still looking for baby boy stuff but I just started shopping for anything and everything that I knew I could use or give to my one of nieces and nephews.  The toys pictured above are only a small fraction of the toys that were for sell.

I would suggest to have a few hours free to go to this sale. There is a crazy amount of stuff to look at and if you’re on a tight schedule, you might miss a lot of great deals. I found tons of bargains right away. I scored when it came to finding bundled items together at a low price.  This set of 4 BRAND NEW onsies from Macy’s was only $5, which makes them a little more than $1 a piece. The original tag is still on there and this set it priced at $16.

These burp rags were split into two groups and were both priced at $1, so I bought this whole lot for only $2. They are all in great shape and paying $2 for all of these make them less than 50 cents a piece.

I’m a sucker for little kid shoes and when I found these Ralph Lauren baby boy shoes, I knew I had to buy them. They were brand new, in the box and only cost $4 with the original price of $19.99! I also picked up some toddler shoes for my niece for less than $3.

It is a bit overwhelming because there is so much stuff to look through. If you want first dibs on the sale, look into consigning with Just Between Friends and volunteering. It’s the best way to get all of the great deals before anyone else and make some money too!

Just Between Friends Mesquite/Dallas is the place you want to be to shop for your kids! There is a sale going on now March 20 – 23rd at the Mesquite Exhibit Hall.  Have you ever shopped a Kid’s Consignment Sale before? Let me know your tricks of the trade!

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
