Scored at the Seasonal Consignment Sale!

I found out about the WeeSale Consignment sale when I was pregnant with Blake. I went last Spring to pick up a few things that we didn't get at our baby shower. Some onesies, caps, socks, and other little things. I mainly just wanted to see what all the hype was about.

Boy, am I glad I went then! There was so much baby gear available at 50-75% off of the original prices and all in great condition!

I went again in the Fall after Blake was born to stock up on clothes for his Fall and Winter wardrobe. I didn't really get any toys or gear because at the time he wasn't doing much except growing.

This past Thursday was the start of their 2013 Spring sale and I tried to get there a few minutes before the doors opened at 9:00 am. There was already a long line and it was below freezing outside. These mommies and daddies, grandmas and grandpas were SERIOUS. I found a parking spot and speed walked over to the line.

I wrote a list to keep me focused on what I needed to get. There were about a hundred strollers there, plenty of highchairs, bouncers, pack and plays, and kiddie sized chairs. I wasn't able to snag a water table, which was the big thing I wanted for Blake this summer, but that's ok. No big deal! I mean, we do have a pool in the backyard... it just would've been cool for him to have a sand and water table to hang out at so I don't have to stay in the pool with him all the time.

Chalked that one up as a loss.

Moved on.

I spent about 45 minutes there. I was able to score a ton of goodies for about $150! That sounds like a lot of money but just wait until you hear and see what I got!

In addition to all of that, I also got my hands on three cargo-type pairs of summer shorts and a pair of khakis for him. But I can't find the scissors to cut the zip ties off of them and I don't feel like running around this morning to look for them. (It's a Saturday morning and I've been up since 4:30 am... please excuse me lol!)
