Ready, set, go... clean out those closets and toys. It's time to get ready for consignment season. Kids clothes, toys, games, ladies and men's clothes they all gotta go. You can make yourself some cash for Christmas or some new fall/winter clothes.
Most of the time it's the kids consignments we hear about but there are ongoing consignment stores open year round. Of course the name brand clothes and shoes will bring the most money but other things that are in good shape will sell too.
Do you have things hanging in your closet with the tags still on them? What about those items which are too big or little for you? As women we all have a "few" too many shoes. LOL.
Most of the consignment sales require you to tag the items and put them on wire hangers. You will want to make sure there are no missing buttons or rips. Sometimes they can get by us. Check the church and community websites plus the local paper for upcoming sales. A lot of the time the consignors get to come in the night before the sale starts to shop for themselves. What a benefit! You can get the good stuff for you and your family.
If you go ahead and start working on your things now it will be ready... set.. go to get your things to the sale. I have missed several of them because I didn't have enough time to get things cleaned, pressed and tagged in time to make their deadline. So you can count this as your advance notice. LOL. Plus if your things don't sell at one sale you are ready to move onto another one.
There is no time like the present to "git er' done" so to speak. Let's make some money for the things we'll need this fall and winter. You all know this is an original "thrifty" idea!!! Recycle. Repurpose and Reuse.
