My First #JBFMilwaukee Experience & Why You Need to Go (Sept 21st-27th)

*This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Just Between Friends of Milwaukee.  This program is in partnership with Real Mom Media.  All opinions are my own*

Yesterday morning, Libby and I made our way down to Milwaukee for the Just Between Friends consignment sale. This was a first for both of us and I think we are both still in shock over the size of this sale.

 #JBFMilwaukee Fall 2014 Overview

The amount of clothing, alone, is overwhelming.  Racks and racks of maternity, costumes, girls and boys clothing and all of the sizes, it is absolutely crazy and EXTREMELY well organized.

There were more than enough toys to go around and of course, toys were organized in different sections for babies, girls, boys, Disney, Action Figures and so much more!

There was a sea of strollers, high chairs, boosters, bouncy seats and more.  Really, I don’t think there is anything you couldn’t find on your shopping list while sticking to your budget.

Check out this great video, put together by Maureen from Wisconsin Mommy to give you an idea of everything available.

 

My goal was to make sure that I got the #BestDeal on some winter gear for the little ones.  All 3 littles needed new boots, Joey needed a jacket that would fit now and another to get him through the rest of winter, along with snowpants as well as a few more fleece sleepers.

Here are a few things we picked up:  a pirate costume for Joey ($5), 3 fleece Carters sleepers ($5), a Big Chill winter jacket ($8) and Columbia boys snow boots that retail between $59.99-$69.99 for $15!!!!

I am still in awe of how big this sale is and if I had been feeling better, I think I could have spent the entire day shopping to make sure the kids were set for the next year!

As you have all heard me say, multiple times, I love a good sale.  When it comes to shopping for clothes for 5 kids as well as the gear they all need, I hate to pay full price and in most cases, I prefer to buy something that is used but it excellent condition.

Well, if you are anything like me and you are anywhere near Milwaukee WI, get ready for the Just Between Friends Consignment Sale at the Wisconsin Expo Center on the State Fair Park grounds, September 21st-27th 2014!!

Just Between Friends is a HUGE consignment sale that takes over the State Fair Park and offers shoppers the chance to purchase items at great savings of usually 50-90% OFF retail prices!!!

Now, this isn’t just a huge indoor rummage sale, Just Between Friends keeps quality and safety in mind and all items are carefully inspected to ensure you are getting the best items.  You can bet you will find high quality, gently loved items and some times, even new!

If you are expecting, know someone who is or just have a few little ones at home like we do, this is an event you shouldn’t miss!  

This will be the first time I’ve attended a consignment event like this and I cannot wait to get some stuff for the kids for the winter!
