I have always been a huge fan of yard sales, flea markets and consignment shops.  Sure a lot of the stuff you find at these places are just junk, but it’s kind of like treasure hunting.  I normally find one great deal of the day.

Twice a year there is a huge children’s consignment sale here in town at the fair grounds.  They are very picky about the items they will take.  For clothes, they must be in style, clean, no holes, must have all the buttons, ect.  As for toys and furniture, it must have been bought within the past 5 years, clean and 100% in-tact.   I decided to check the sale out this past weekend to see what I could find for Chloe.  I found a lot more than one treasure this time!  I wrote a check for $47.  For this $47 I got:

  1. Snoogle Pregnancy Pillow for $10 (the most expensive item I bought. They run between $35-60 new)
  2. 24 Onesies.
  3. 4 pairs of cotton pants
  4. 2 gowns
  5. 1 bib
  6. 2 pairs of mittens
  7. 1 cute little outfit with the tags still on it
  8. 2 dresses
  9. 1 skirt (my favorite!)
  10. 1 denim jumper
  11. 1 pair of khaki capris
  12. 1 robe

Most of these items were gap, carters, old navy, ect.  I think I did pretty good treasure shopping!
