Shopping the seasonal consignment sale

When I shopped my first seasonal consignment sale in Tennessee, I couldn't believe I ever paid full price for anything.  After one scan of the room I saw everything I needed and more for my 2nd child, Cole.  We get wiser and wiser with each kid, don't we?  This is why I want to jump up and high five all the new moms and expectant moms who shop our sale for their first baby!  

So if you've never shopped Little Treasures seasonal kid's sale, you're in for a big surprise. Possibly lots of little surprises, too.  So for all those first-timers, here are some tips to help you make the most of your experience:

• Consider "tag-teaming" with another Mom. You shop a while, she watches the kids. Then switch. Navigating a stroller at the sale is difficult and so is keeping up with young children who will become distracted by the amount of toys.
• BYOB -- Bring Your Own Basket, as in laundry basket.  We'll also provide some.
• Leave large purses & diaper bags at home or in the car.
• Make use of the discard racks for unwanted items. This way a worker will put the clothes back on the appropriate rack.
• Expect a long line at check out on the first day, but it moves very quickly. And it's worth the wait. 
• Familiarize yourself with recalls if you intend to shop toys and equipment.
• Write down all the sizes you need to shop. Trace your kid's feet on paper for shoe shopping.
• Remember, most everything has already been washed and dried several times, so they may run a bit small.
• We accept cash, check, Visa or Mastercard.
• Sign the mailing list and keep your contact information current by contacting us through the website with any changes.
• We will have new items arriving on the Thursday of the sale.
• Do not miss our 1/2 price sale.  It blows my mind every season when I see some of the steals people get on Sunday!  We always have great stuff left...don't assume everything is "picked over."
• Prices are non-negotiable. 

Happy Shopping!
