Consignment sales are so MM!

I've been hearing for months that our local consignment sale is a fabulous one. It lived up to all the hype and then some.

You name it, they were selling it. I was there primarily for b-day and Christmas toys. I got everything but one item that I had on my list and a couple of other random things (holiday pjs, some kid cds). My conservative estimate is that for retail, the total would have been about $350 + tax.

I walked out the door for $140 inc tax. Woot!

We'll consign back the big items once he is done playing with them so we don't have to store it. I don't think I'll be buying this child brand new toys until he realizes the difference. LOL

FP Laugh and Learn House, VTech Sit to Stand walker, 2 ball popper toys, small Step2 workbench, LeapFrog drum, Mega Bloks and a matching dump truck, triangle activity toy, Melissa & Doug cardboard bricks (a bunch, maybe 40 or so?) and a few other random things.

We have very few toys right now and I wanted to get him some new fun stuff and I think this was a great haul with a lot of it having a shelf life of longer than a few months.

There's a big one here this weekend. I'm excited!

I've gone to 2 so far and am not allowing myself to go to any more this fall! Have enough clothes and family wants to buy her toys for Christmas.

That is pretty much our stance
