Just Between Friends Spring 2011 Consignment Sale

I like to shop. Unfortunately, my shopping bags are much bigger than my wallet. But fortunately, I can recoup some of what I spend each spring and fall at the Just Between Friends consignment sale.

Just Between Friends, also known as JBF, is a twice yearly consignment sale held in Davis and Utah Counties. The locally-owned company is part of the nation's leading children's and maternity consignment franchise. Different than your traditional brick-and-morter consignment shop, JBF sales truly are an event. It's a great opportunity to clear out the closets and earn some extra cash, and pick up some great bargains along the way.

At JBF sales shoppers will typically find gently-used children's and maternity clothing, shoes, toys, baby equipment and more. Consignors set their own prices using JBF's convenient online tagging system and drop their items off during a designated time. Items are inspected for quality at drop-off. Since consignors set their own prices, shoppers will usually find great deals on items far below retail value.

Consignors, volunteers, military, and first-time parents are invited to presales before the shopping event opens to the general public. Consignors can opt to discount their items for JBF's 50-percent off sale on the final day of the sales event, donate their leftover items to charity, or pick them up at the end of the event. Consignors should receive their checks, minus the consignment fee, within two weeks.

First-hand experience:
I've been consigning at JBF for four years. Prepping your items for the sale is simple, and I'm always happy with my check. I always find great deals when I shop, too.

Here's what I picked up today at the Davis County sale, for a grand total of $66:

2 pairs Gymboree shorts
1 pair nwt capri leggings
1 pair nwt silver sandals
1 pair euc pink crocs
21 books (about half hardcover, mostly Barbie, Tink, and the Daisy Meadow's fairy books)
1 Melissa & Doug magnetic doll set
2 Groovy girls
1 Barbie puzzle
A school planner
and a cute little designer purse tagged at just $2!

Here's what I've picked up in the past, for around $60:

There's still time to shop the Davis County sale this weekend. There's also an upcoming sale in Utah County.
 
Happy bargain hunting!
