Consignment Success!

This may not even remotely be interesting to anyone else, but I thought I'd share my finds! As a consignor at the sale, you are invited to shop the pre-sale before the actual event opens to the public the next day.  As a volunteer, you get to shop even earlier the day of the pre-sale, based on how many shifts you volunteer for.  My MIL made the trip down to babysit Ayden and Rylee so I could go to the pre-sale that afternoon.

A few days before the pre-sale, I went through all of Ayden and Rylee's clothes to figure out what they needed going into the winter months.  Ayden was in desperate need of warmer pajamas and Rylee needed some long sleeve shirts.  Other than that, they were already pretty set and I mostly was just on the hunt for good deals. I love to find great deals on the next size clothing items that I can put up, so we are ready when they do grow out of things.  I have bins in my closet full of clothes just waiting for Ayden and Rylee to grow into.  I'm not the most organized person, but I do keep this organized!

Here's what I found at the pre-sale for Ayden:

• 6 pairs of pajamas
• 2 zip up hoody sweatshirts
• 1 pair of jeans
• 1 polo shirt
•  2 button up dress shirts
• 3 button up shirts w/ built in sleeves for the "layered" look
• 1 sweater vest
• 1 pair of corduroy pants
• 1 pair of black dress shoes

Ayden's pj's

His other clothes

For Rylee:

• 1 pajama set
• 2 zip up sweatshirts
• 8 tops
• 7 pairs of leggings
• 3 pairs of jeans/pants
• 1 jean skirt
• 1 jean jacket vest (the cutest!)
• 3 dresses/tunics
• 3 pair of tennis shoes

Rylee's pants and pj's

All her shirts, dresses, jean skirt and jacket

All but the Beaver hoody cost ONLY $1 each!!!

Deal of the day: the white adidas with orignial tags, never worn - only $5!

Other items that weren't clothes:

• Little People Parking Gargage  (only $5!  How could I pass that up?  Every other similar toy there, people were asking a minimum of $25)
• 1 book
• 1 blueray movie - Happy Feet
• 2 puzzles (for my nephew's birthday coming up)
• Baseball glove (I had to!)

On Saturday, I was scheduled to volunteer at Noon.  I went in early because it was half price day.  Some people choose not to discount their items for half price day, but most items are.  I was able to find a few more things, spending only .50 or $1 on any one item.

For Rylee I found:

• 2 pairs of pajama's
• a pair of fleece sweatpants
• black leggings
• a dress with diaper cover
• 1 shirt

For Ayden:

• a pair of black slacks
• long john pants
• a long sleeve button up dress shirt
• short sleeve button up shirt
• 3 basic, plain t-shirts good for playing outside in the dirt or for crafting

All the half price deals

Overall, I spent a grand total of $131 on all this stuff.  However, as a consignor I reached my goal and MADE $308, so I came out way ahead on this deal!
