Do You Resale?

Do you shop resale?  Do you take part in consignment sales?  We have two big consignment sales close by every season.  My favorite is Rhea Lana, which is a franchise re-sale consignment event.  I spend HOURS cleaning out closets and dressers, washing and drying, hanging clothes and putting on price tags.  Then I haul all of my stuff to the consignment location (usually a former department store) and hope for the best.  It takes A LOT of preparation, but the rewards are great.  I usually make a little money, which ends up being spent on clothes for the kids.  They grow out of stuff so fast!

These consignment sales are a great place to buy basics.  I've bought lots of jeans for the kids.  The baby stuff is always a fabulous buy too.  There are tons of bedding sets for kids, high chairs, strollers,etc.  Most of the prices are 25% to 30% less than retail price.  That's pretty great, huh? 

Rhea Lana is heaven for moms-to-be!

One of these consignment sales started selling home decor a few years ago, but you have to get there early because that stuff goes QUICK.

So, why else do I love Rhea Lana?  Well, it does help that they featured a Froufroubritches outfit I sold on the local news.  Love that!

What else do I love about Rhea Lana?  You can check your sales online!  Just a few clicks of the mouse and you know how much your check is going to be!  WOO HOO! 

Rhea Lana also has a new cookbook, which you can find here.  A portion of the sales go to Autism Speaks, which of course, I love!  Gotta get me one of those!
