How To: Spring Consignment Sales

Our friends over at Babycheapskate just had this awesome post of tips for making the most of spring consignment sales. Here are some of the tips they shared:


  • Think about what you need most and try to find it straight away, especially if you’re looking for baby gear. The best baby gear items go fast. It’s also a good idea to know what the items you’re after cost new in stores. That way, you’ll know whether you’re getting a deal.
  • Avoid buying used car seats. You don’t know if they’ve been in a crash or not.
  • Get there near the close of the sale for move-it-or-lose-it pricing. The last day or last few hours of the sale often bring half-off or “$5 per bag” type deals.
  • Take along your own shopping bag so you’ll have a place for all the goodies you find. I’ve seen a lot of shoppers with small laundry baskets.
