Consignment Sales?
So, SIL happened to mention that there are a few baby-related consignment sales in the area, but didn't go into details. When are they? Where are they? Names? Is there good stuff there, for reasonable prices? Honestly, with having 2 babies, we are looking to save money on the little things. I know this is probably a little early, but I'm optimistic!
TIA!
Re: Consignment Sales?
The Twice as Nice Kids Consignment Sale is run by a fellow Nestie! Here is a link to her sale: http://www.twiceasniceomaha.com/
Her sale will be at the end of March this year. I have been to Reruns R Fun and to Take Two, and the Twice as Nice sale is definitely the best. It's smaller, but much better run, and the quality of stuff is a lot better. I get all my daughter's clothes at this sale each season. I usually spend around $100 each season, and that includes shoes and toys for her birthday and holidays.
If you can, I would volunteer so that you get to shop early. It is definitely worth your time to shop these kinds of sales, and this one in particular.
Twice as nice is definitely the place to go!!!!
We did go to Big wheels to butterflies - an actual store rather than sale - because DS had a huge growth spurt and we had NO 12 month clothes for winter! I didn't like it -- clothes were stuffed in so tight we had such a hard time finding anything. The stuff they did have seemed over priced and the organization of the clothes was a little weird. We found a few things - at decent prices - but will not go back unless the same thing happens again!

I like Twice as Nice. I also like Munchkin Junction and that sale is a little later this yeat (May) so you could easily find good stuff at both. I also like Once Upon A Child. Omaha also has great neighborhood garage sales that I love shop at. Go on a Thursday when selection is best.
Some of my favorites: Hillsborough, Briar Hills, Bridlewood (all NW)

Here's another vote for Twice as Nice.
I went and browsed at a couple of sales here in Lincoln and they were complete crap compared to Twice as Nice. I didn't realize how nice it was until I saw the other two and they were just junky.
I occasionally have luck at Once Upon a Child here in Lincoln, but other times I go and I find absolutely nothing. Target's been getting most of my business lately. I have the Target debit card so I get 5% off of everything, plus jeans and such are only $10-$12 to begin with. The Circo brand stuff (pants and shirts) are only $5 or so. They wash well and are cute and can be trendy which is kind of fun. That's honestly where 98% of our stuff is from. The other 2% has been from Grandma.
Yet another vote for Twice as Nice.
Here's a list:

My favorite is Munchkin Junction. Twice as Nice is good too, and obviously they are all very hit or miss. I've come out sometimes just buying a pack of socks, and other times with a laundry basket full. I don't pay more than $5 for any item usually, unless it's name brand and practically brand new because I can usually find stuff for that price on sale new. These sales piss me off sometimes though cause people think that their ugly, 90's, worn, faded sweatshirt is really worth $8. I understand people want to make money, and have to price items higher because of the money that these sales take from them just to sell at them, but still.... I think they should all have some kind of pricing structure, cause otherwise they just have a lot of overpriced crap that takes up space and wastes people's time. Reruns is a HUGE sale. I usually spend at least an hour looking through just one size of clothes. I like going to the 50% off days at all the sales, mostly cause I'm super cheap when it comes to buying used!
Since Reruns is so huge, I usually get a lot of stuff there on that day cause there is still a ton to pick from. Also, def. try to sign up for some kind of early shopping pass, be it first time mom, or for being a volunteer. The times when I've had early shopping passes were the times I found the most stuff.
I've always liked Big Wheel's, but lately I've really been finding a lot of good stuff at Once Upon a Child. I bought my kid 9 summer shirts there a couple weeks ago all priced at $1.50 or $1.00 and all were in really good or new condition.
