Shopping Tips:
Hold Process: If you see a large item, such as a stroller, exersaucer or pack and play that you wish to purchase there will be a “Hold Ticket” that you fill out the top part to claim and bring the bottom half to the register to pay for. We also have a Hold Area for other items weighing you down. Items will be hold for 30 minutes. No items will be held between the full price Sale and ½ price Sale.
Allow time to shop: There will be thousands of items; racks upon racks of clothing, tables of toys and books, and rows of strollers and baby gear! Once you get inside, you’ll want time to look around.
Be prepared to wait: The sale is largely run with volunteer help and we work hard to keep lines moving. Still, there will be a wait for check out. Especially during the VIP Pre-Sale and Half off sale…if there was a line to get in there will be a line to check out.
Children: We prefer no children at the Pre-Sale. If shopping with babies/small children during public days, please use a small umbrella stroller or infant carrier so as not to cause traffic jams (no large strollers allowed during the Half Price Sale on Saturday 1-5pm).
Shop with Less Crowds: If you prefer less rush, plan to visit us Friday during “bus Stop time 3-5pm”, Saturday morning before the ½ off sale or first thing Sunday afternoon. There are still plenty of bargains and a shorter checkout line.
Bring a friend and a laundry basket: It’s fun to shop with a friend and a basket will make it easier to carry your items. We will also have some Shopping bags that may be available to help you shop.
Bring a wish list: Bring a list of items your child needs and their sizes so you don’t miss shopping for the essentials.
Come back for 1/2 Price Saturday, 1-5pm & Sunday Noon to 3pm: Most consignors allow their items to be sold for half price on the final day. You can’t miss this opportunity for deeply discounted bargains. Look for items marked yes for Discount on the tag to indicate half price. No large strollers are allowed on the sales floor during the half off Sale on Saturday 1-5pm.
