Many of you probably go to consignment sales for clothes. I do that too. I have found the best deals on shoes and toys. JDaniel has little feet. He wears shoes that children who are just learning to walk are wearing and he is twenty- one months old this week. That means that the size 4 ½ or 5 that he needs have barely any wear expect for a few scuff marks on the toes. I was able to get him Timberland hiking boots for ten dollars and Nike sneakers for seven at a local consignment shop.
How about toys? I have done well in that department too. You have to shop around your local consignment store to know which one clean up the toys well and you have to test them out at the store. I have found great deals that would have cost so much more at the store. JDaniel got a toy laptop for seven dollars.
Do they have children’s consignment sales in your area? Every fall and spring there are about 4-5 HUGE one/two day consignment sales held at local schools or churches. I have gotten most of Em’s clothes and toys there. I really look forward to the ‘consignment season’.
