Between what I sold at the sale in Grapevine, and what I bought a month later at the sale in Plano, I actually came out $10 ahead this season {something that NEVER happens, lol}. This was the first sale that I didn’t come home with a carload of toys, or play equipment either. It was really hard to resist the temptation, but I just got rid of SO much at the earlier sale, I hated to just bring a whole bunch of ‘new’ stuff back into the house.
Things I didn’t find? Not much. The Mouse is going to need a good pair of tennis shoes for the Summer … and they’ll both probably need some more PJs {you can’t EVER have enough PJs in my opinion}, but other than that? These kids are TOTALLY set for this Spring/Summer. I mean really, I wish I had the wardrobes that they have going for themselves right now.
The Mouse’s haul …
The Froggy’s stuff {is that not the cutest tee EVER?!}
I couldn’t NOT shop for my niece, seriously.
My favorite ‘steal’ from the trip?
BRAND NEW Sperrys – for $10. The Mouse is going to ROCK them for Easter!
Have I convinced you yet that consignment shopping is the way to go? Looking for one near you? Here’s a great site where you can shop for sales in your neck of the woods!
Happy shopping!
Your post last fall talked me into it and I hit a consignment sale this weekend too, got a double umbrella stroller (Jeep) a picnic table with umbrella, a see-saw, and an activity cube along with 4 outfits for each boy, and a windbreaker each (NIke) for $100, I was pretty happy! Glad you made out this weekend too!
sweet haul!! Lovin the Sperry’s too!!
Awesome!! I should really look into consignment sales in my area, I’m always looking for good deals!
Nice haul!!! So far I have resisted the urge to shop since I was able to get so much at clearance last summer for bot kids. I do need Easter stuff for them though so I will probably look at next weeks sale. i.e.- sale #3 out of 5 for me.
I kinda hate you for finding those Sperry’s.
I think I’ll do a post on my experience, too. I’m a true believer in the consignments. 
I LOVE LOVE LOVE consignment season(s)!!! I just shopped one this past weekend and this Saturday is my favorite one in our area where I volunteer to get to shop early (6am!) so I can get first dibs on all the best stuff. I got my son 4 (FOUR!!) Ralph Lauren polo shirts ($4 and $5 each) last weekend and my daughter this adorable Ralph Lauren dress for only $5. I still need jammies for the little man and shoes. Those Sperry’s are ADORABLE!! So fun! Loved seeing the pics of all the stuff you scored.
