Smart Mommies

Yes, I believe smart mommies consign, resell, bargain shop, garage sale shop, and participate in marketplace toy swaps where you can get great things for your kids at lower prices.  After shopping at the Indy Kids Consignment Sale for the past three years, I decided I had enough great clothes to actually be a consignor in the IKC Sale this Sept 13-15.  My experience so far has been positive... Well, with the exception of the lady who made me feel like a put her out bc I arrived EARLY for my drop off appointment. (Really?! I'm pretty sure I've only been early once or twice in the past decade. My mere 60 items took no time compared to those that come unloading 100s of items.... She must have been having a rough morning, right?!). Back to my point, I have enjoyed my volunteer hours, and I will really ennjoy them when I shop early at the Presale!  But even for those who aren't shopping the Presale, this Consignment sale is one of the bests in Hamilton Co.  It is organized, up to date, clean/stain free, full of essential baby needs, equipment, toys gaore, and even furniture.  They are PICKY, which is ideal for shoppers.  You dont want to rummage through stuff that looks like it was purchased eons of years ago and you definitely don't want to buy something with stains.  The staff and volunteers make sure to collect quality in-season items.  Did I mention that it's one of those places where you will run into at least two people you know?  While volunteering, I met some great people.   Another bonus about the IKC Sale is that they have a fall and spring sale!  I'm sure my hubby will be so excited when I tell him I'm doing it again this Spring... Hehehe.  He wasn't a fan of my "work area" that I set up in our family room to prepare for the sale, but even he says it will be worth it if I make money and get to shop for cute clothes for my kids at smart prices.http://www.indykidssale.com/index.html
