1. Make a list.

Make a list and prioritize for you and your kids.

2. Plan to attend when you have ample time to shop.

Rushing around a consignment sale will leave you frustrated and wishing you had more time.

3. Be prepared with what you wear.

Dress comfortably and try to be as hands free as possible.  Handbags and heavy jackets get in the way. 

4. Bring a large tote to carry your items.

Some sales provide IKEA bags, but before assuming they have their own bags bring your own large tote like a large laundry basket with a strap attached to it to carry.

5. All sales are FINAL.

6. Bring a friend.
