Local Consignment Sales

I've been going to a lot of these kids' consignment sales lately, and I've done pretty well:
  • A wood rocker-style glider and ottoman for $40
  • Like-new crib bumper for $4.50
  • A warm car seat jacket thing from Pottery Barn in original package for $4
  • A couple of cute onesies that I just couldn't pass up, usually for about $1–$3 each
  • And several maternity tops, three nursing tank tops and a three-piece nursing pajama set, all for less than $10 each
I've checked out the Just Between Friends Longmont sale, a MOPS sale and the Just 4 Kids sale in Firestone last weekend. Be aware: there's usually nowhere to try on clothes if you're looking for maternity things or things for older kids. You just have to guess. No returns or exchanges, so be sure of what you're buying (or be sure you don't care for the price!). I've seen some furniture (probably best to go early if you want big-ticket items), and most are banning the sale of drop-sided cribs in accordance with the recall. I've also seen lots of car seats, strollers, high chairs and pack and plays, but those should all be buyer beware: if you buy one, be sure to google for any recalls as soon as you can.

Denver Bargains has done a roundup of upcoming sales all up and down the Front Range. Definitely check one out if you're interested.
