Kids Exchange consignment sale opens this week
Consignment sale season officially starts with the opening of this massive consignment sale this week at the N.C. State Fairgrounds.
Posted — UpdatedThe Kids Exchange was my first introduction to consignment sales. I've shopped it many times. While I always recommend going with a plan and a list when shopping a consignment sale, that is definitely a good idea at the Kids Exchange. It's just so big, it's really easy to get carried away.
So I recommend going with a list of the things you need and the sizes you're looking for. Bring something to haul your loot, such as a wagon or stroller (without a kid in it). In fact, if you can swing it, leave the kids at home. It can take a long time to shop this sale and the lines to check out can get really long too. So be prepared for that.
One thing to note are the sale's rules on bags. You can either purchase bags from the Kids Exchange for 25 cents a piece or you can bring your own shopping bags from home. If you bring your own bags, they must be extra large (the size a large blanket would fit in if purchased from Target or Walmart). Extra large or extra strong trash bags from home are acceptable. But tall size kitchen trash bags are not big enough. These bags cannot be used while you're shopping to store items that are not purchased.
