  • Go thru closets to make a list of items you will need for the next season. (Easter, 4th of July, Birthdays, Spring Break, Sports)

    • Do you need to size up from single to double stroller, etc.? Go thru your gear. Do you need to size up your bikes? Roller skates? Helmets? Etc.
    • Do you need athletic gear, dance, tumble?
  • Make sure you know your children’s size. Bring an item from home that helps you size at the sale unless you bring your child.
  • Prioritize your list so that you have a plan. The sale is so big it can overwhelm moms.
  • Bring a roller bag, hamper, etc. They do offer very large bags to carry your items.

Tips for a success at a sale?

  • Make sure your items are clean, wrinkle free, and you follow the allowed brands.
  • Zip-tie shoes, safety pin items together or double hanger outfits.
  • Use a tag gun. (You can find them on Amazon or eBay!)
  • Try to discount for 50%-off day.
