Consignment Season Begins!!

CMOMs Sale
It's that time...Spring/Summer Consignment Sale begins Saturday with the Charlotte Mothers of Multiples (CMOMs) Sale at the Park Expo & Conference Center. Consignment sales are the perfect way to save (or make) a little cash while outfitting your kids for the upcoming spring and summer seasons. If you're planning to shop...here are a few tips:

  • make a list (of what you have and what you need)
  • go solo...while some sales allow children, it's best to do it on your own (or with friends)
  • note shoe size (and what size you think they'll be in soon)
  • compare prices...take your smartphone and use Amazon or eBay to make sure you're getting a good deal
  • shop the half price sale...best to go early and then again at the half price time when there are still lots of great deals
  • take your time...do not go if you only have 30 minutes...trust me
Happy spring and summer shopping!!

Blessings,
The Buzz
