I'm a Consignment Shopper...and Proud of It!

August 20, 2012
Getting ready for church this morning, I dressed my 21-month-old in a pair of Baby Gap khaki pants and a Gymboree top.  Am I bragging about my baby's brand-name clothing?  Nope!  After all, I didn't have to set foot in either of these stores to score such quality clothing, and neither item were gifts.  I just had to realize what an amazing deal consignment shopping is!

That's right.  I've caught the consignment bug and my kids are looking great, and so is my pocketbook! 

Many of you know that Georgia is the fourth state in which I have lived.  But this is the first state where consignment sale shopping is really done right!  I can't believe all of the amazing sales we have twice a year allowing us to stock our kid's closets full of brand-name clothing for just a few dollars an item.  Plus, you're often helping local and women's charities and mom's groups in our community just for shopping!  Not to mention the money you can make back by participating in the sale as a consignor! 

I encourage you to visit the upcoming sales in our area and discover the great deals out there.  And year-round, check out our amazing consignment stores, my two favorite being MyMy's Closet and Emily's Closet, both of which are currently offering discounts to Macaroni Kid ARM subscribers!

Oh, and by the way, check out the great Gymboree barn coat (pictured above) I got my 6-year-old at the North Metro Mothers of Multiples sale this past weekend!  Talk about a great deal and a great bunch of ladies!  (Hello to all of our new subscribers I met on Saturday!  Glad you're here!)

Happy shopping!  And please pass this newsletter on to all of your friends.  They'll love you for it, and so will I!
