Mom2mom or resale store

[angelsnight]

There is a mom 2 mom sale coming up that I planned on going to, never been to one.  I usually just buy LO's clothes at a resale shop (Once upon a child).  I need to buy her fall clothes.  Just wondering for those who have been...are the prices that great?  I just picture utter chaos and strollers everywhere.  Just wondering if it's better to skip it and just go to the resale shop.

The one I go to can be chaotic if you go at peak times on the weekends, especially the first weekend, but if you can sneak away to go during the day midweek they aren't bad. Mostly it depends on how big the venue is and if they overstuff it with too many items at once. As for prices my basic limits are $2 or less for a short sleeve shirt, $3 or less for a long sleeve shirt or sweat pants, and $5 or less for cargo pants or jeans. Usually there is plenty of cute stuff that falls in that price range. Also if you're going mostly to get cheap play clothes many of them have a half price sale on the last day or two of the event.

We have one coming up also, and I love them!! Some consigners price their items a little high, but for the most part I find great deals. The ones by me also do half price Sundays, so usually I don't even go until Sunday unless there is something specific I am looking for. I once got two garbage bags full of clothes for approximately $50. It is SUPER busy when they first open the doors, but it has never been so cramped that I haven't been able to shop. The ones near me are held in fairground buildings, so everything is plenty spaced out.

Thank you. I ended up getting her fall clothes from the resale shop, but I think I will still check out the sale and see how it is. It seems less intimidating to just go browse, than to expect to go for a specific list of stuff.
