Consignment Shops!

About a year ago, I participated in a garage sale and I made a whole $2. I was thrilled! A better choice for me would have been to consign some of my old items. There are a lot of benefits to “selling” your old stuff, here are a couple:

• De-clutter your home.
• Make money.
• Help another person buy something they can afford.

If you live in Utah, there is a great consignment going on in Logan next week exclusively for “Baby Items.” Check out www.thedivvyup.com for more info. What I like about the divvyup is that it was started by two Moms. They are also giving back to the community by giving a portion of sales to local schools. It is a great way to sell stuff you don’t need, and help out your own community.

Here is also a website that gives you the “heads up” on consignments in your own area, www.thebargainwatcher.com

There are so many ways to make and save money! How have you made consigning work for you? What are some of your own tips?
