Save Money- Buy & Sell On Consignment

One way that I have always saved money on my girls clothing is by buying used.  Now, I love to buy my girls new clothes as much as the next person, but practically speaking, they are going to wear holes in the knees of their jeans after wearing them two times.  I have a hard time rationalizing spending $30 on a pair of jeans knowing that in advance.  Spending $5-$7 on a name brand pair at Little Feats Repeats consignment sale sounds a lot better to me.  I have had great luck at consignment stores and sales, Goodwill stores or getting hand me downs from my sisters or friends.  I feel so much better knowing that that stained shirt or torn pants did not cost me a fortune.  I have even gotten great Halloween costumes and other items used.  I will sometimes splurge and spend a little more on a new dress or outfit for a special occasion but I don’t feel as bad when I save so much on the other things.

I have also had great luck with consigning my own clothes.  It is a great way to make a little extra money on something you already have sitting around.  If you are not going to hand them down or pass them on to a friend, you should really consider consigning.  I have kept most of my girls clothes since we can easily pass them from the oldest to the youngest.  We realized lately that we have a ton that our youngest has already worn that we should really get rid of.  We are getting everything out and sorted and selling them in the upcoming Little Feet Repeats sale.  This is our first time doing it through them but I am really excited.  I have shopped at the last two and LOVED IT.  If you have never consigned before, check out Little Feet Repeats here in Bakersfield or search out a local sale in your area.

“Awesome Kerri. I’ll point out for you that when they sign up using your referral, they need to make sure they choose “OTHER” as the referral, and THEN type your info in the box – VERY important that they choose “OTHER” so the system saves what is written in the box (and Tracy did it perfectly ). See you in 5 1/2 weeks!”
