So...to save some cash, I've hit a few consignment sales (two today!).
While baby girl's nursery is mostly ready, there are still several small things I was hoping to get for a steal:
First off: baby socks! Why on earth are socks made of 5 inches of fabric a dollar per pair?
Secondly: I plan on cloth diapering, but I was wanting a diaper pail just for odor control.
Lastly: Nursing Camis: Why, WHY, WHY are these 30-40 dollars each?
So...I hit two sales today in two different cities around the metro, and came back with all of this:
I highly, highly recommend consignment sales (or shops) for baby stuff. I have now been to sales from two different companies, as well as two local shops.
Two large chain consignment sales are (use the links to find scheduled sales in your area)
Just Between Friends (jbfsale.com)
Kids Closet Connection (kidscloset.biz)
Today I got:
1 Diaper Champ-$8
1 Bundle Me car seat insulator-$12
1 Shopping Cart Cover-$9
1 Santa Dress (I couldn't resist!)-$3
1 Tub Toy Holder (the turtle)-$4
1 Car Seat Protector-$5
Assorted Child Locks-$2
2- Hooded Towels-$1
40 pairs of socks + 4 pairs of tights-$15
3-Nursing Camis-$15 ($5 each)
1- Maternity Jeans-$12
1-cloth diaper (never used)-$5
Total: $91
By my best guess (via internet research) that stuff would have cost: $330
So my total savings (approximately): 330-91=$239. Woot Woot!!
I also have a cloth diaper stash of 23 diapers for approximately $130 thanks to consignment sales and shops.
