The time I spend getting it ready and over there, is worth more than what they offer me. And the only clothes we buy our kids are Target clearance stuff occasionally and thrift store clothes (my husband is a regular at the thrift stores). The thrift stores always have great stuff, and it's always cheaper than those "upscale" consignment stores. Most of their clothes are hand me downs or grandparent gifts though. I'm cheap and hate shopping, did you guess?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153372811341628494.post-56541799472412577922009-03-24T10:50:00.000-04:002009-03-24T10:50:00.000-04:00i never bother with consignment shops. maybe it's ...i never bother with consignment shops. maybe it's the snob in me, but they just seemed like so much work for minimal payoff. from your experience, it seems like i had the right idea.<BR/><BR/>again - another reason why i am target's biggest fan!Justice Fergiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149599507464194078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153372811341628494.post-17395284111878435922009-03-24T10:25:00.000-04:002009-03-24T10:25:00.000-04:00Yeah . . .

I always felt the clothes were put to much better use if I gave them to a friend or donated them to goodwill and took the tax deduction. (Goodwill will give you a receipt for taxes - - turns out to be a better value than consignment.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153372811341628494.post-70442948144136710252009-03-24T08:57:00.000-04:002009-03-24T08:57:00.000-04:00oh yea i did this not that long ago and was shocke...oh yea i did this not that long ago and was shocked with what they wanted and what they passed up. i said forget it and left. i made more at a yard sale a few weeks later.<BR/> <BR/>Stopping in from SITS to welcome you.
