Saving on kids clothes

I know many of you have probably shopped at consignment stores before, but the reason I'm telling all of you about this one is because it's only open twice a year (spring and fall), it is enormous, and I can do ALL of my kids shopping in one night! Granted, I am there 6-8 hours but I would rather sacrifice one night to shop kid-free and never have to deal with dragging the little ones through stores shopping for clothes. It probably wouldn't take all of you that long but I shop for 4 and I'm buying everything they will need for the next 6 months except for underclothes. I'm talking about Kids Market, the biggest consignment sale in the southeast and right here in Birmingham!
I have been contributing & working this for 10 years and I basically dress the kids for free. You price your clothes/toys/baby items, drop them off & they take care of the rest. You make 66% of your selling price & if you have the time, you can work the sale and shop before the general public which is a huge plus. I typically earn very close to the same amount that I buy. You can read more about what they offer as well as view the schedule for the spring sale here. If you have any questions, please post & I'll try to answer!
