What would we do without all these $10/40 Whole Foods coupons?!?! I just sent my husband up to Whole Foods with one to stock up on the grass-fed beef on sale today! There is yet another one in the September issue of Jax4Kids.Com To Go (on page 4). You can go here for a comprehensive list of where you can find this paper. Please remember to be kind to your fellow couponers and not take the entire stack.

If you have a little girl, chances are that you know all about the American Girl dolls. My oldest is just starting to grow out of hers, but my 3 year old is obsessed with her “Bitty Twins”! Luckily, she has a very generous great-aunt who love dolls as much as she does, because these are SO not in my budget!! Barnes and Noble is offering the chance to win an American Girl doll, as well as access to InnerStar university, an online world for girls and their dolls. Go here to enter! Thanks, Fun Finds for Families!
This is Part 3 of a series of posts on Seasonal Consignment Sales. If you missed the first posts, you can read them here and here. Q: Why shouldn’t I just take my items to the year-round consignment shop down the road? A: Most of the year-round consignment shops give you a commission of about 45%, but seasonal sales often give you back up to 75%. Why not earn the most money you can on your items?? Q: Why shouldn’t I just shop at garage sales? A: Garage sales give you no guarantee of quality OR quantity. You could go to 4 garage sales before finding one that is selling kids’ clothing, only to find stained or poor quality items. Instead of wasting your time (and gas) going from garage sale to garage sale to find a couple good items, you could go to a seasonal consignment sale and know you will find plenty of great quality items! Q: Why shouldn’t I just sell my items at a garage sale? A: Again, you have no guarantees with a garage sale. You may not get any customers who are looking for what you are selling. Plus, with a consignment sale, you don’t have to do any setup, advertising, price haggling, etc. You get to sell your items at higher prices than garage sale customers would be willing to pay too! Q: I don’t have anything to consign in order to get into the pre-sale. Will there be anything good left if I go to the public sale? A: YES!! While I have consigned a couple of times, I have done a lot more shopping at public sales than pre-sales, and have still found tons or good bargains. It’s great to go to the pre-sale if you can qualify, but if not, don’t let that deter you from going shopping – I promise you’ll find plenty of great merchandise! Want to know even more about consignment sales? Here are some other great resources: Kids Consignment Sales – national list on seasonal consignment sales
