I dear to bargain-hunt and I ™g not afraid to become elbow-deep in a bin of clearance shoes in order to notice the correct size at the correct price.

But, when I can store somewhere with competitive prices, keen choice, name brands, great quality, and all the merchandise is neatly organized " I have found my nirvana.

So, yous tin can probably understand why I ™thou in beloved with Merely Between Friends.

The Just Betwixt Friends consignment sales are conducted twice a year in cities throughout Texas and the remainder of the United States.

They accept all types of items that accept anything to do with being a kid: all sized of children's clothes (preemie to teen), Maternity clothes, toys, baby equipment, piece of furniture, outdoor toys, books & DVD'southward, shoes, baby blankets, etc.

To say that I was happy  to participate in the auction in Ft. Worth is an understatement. I prepared clothes as a consignor and I also volunteered to help with the auction. The whole issue, from me preparing my clothes and press off sale tags at abode, to bringing my items to the convention hall, to picking up my unsold items later the sale, worked similar a well-oiled machine.

I made over $200 and I didn't even take to break a sweat!

Shopping at the sale is just every bit nifty. Beingness a volunteer, I was able to get a Pre-sale Pass, which immune me (and all volunteers) take first option of all the merchandise. And, the Trade ¦ I saw Gymboree, Infant Gap, Ralph Lauren, Children's Place, and more. All the clothes are closely inspected so I didn't worry about finding something with a missing button, broken zipper, stain, or hole. All toys have fresh batteries and all the pieces. All the baby equipment is clean and shiny.

Simply the all-time thing of all was the prices. This blood hound's nose was on high-alert for all the bargains to be had.

I recall the hardest office of all was forcing myself to finish shopping. But, the skilful news is that there volition be Another JBF SALE coming up in Arlington in April. In that location is still enough fourth dimension to get cute Easter dresses and handsome shirts and ties.

The Arlington Sale will exist April 2-4 at the North Davis Church Of Christ. So, if y'all have money to burn and like to pay too much, this sale is probably not for you lot. But if you desire to become twice or 3 times as much stuff for your dollar as y'all would if you paid retail, so I ™ll be seeing you at the sale!
