This past weekend I went to the semi annual kids sale at Northwood Temple. IT WAS GREAT!!!!! I went by myself at around 8:30 and there was a line to get in. They had the sheriff's dept on site directing the crowd. It was held at their gymnasium. They had all kinds of things and it was so well organized. It was almost like shopping in a regular store. They had a food and general care section, book and learning section, toy section, furniture section, clothing and shoe section, Bags and carriers section. Everything was reasonably priced for fractions of what you would pay in the store. I went through the first time with a box I was given at the entrance. My box was loaded down. I got a Baby Bjorn carrier which regularly sells for around $80 for $20. I got a really nice johnny jump up for $15. And as many cute clothes as I could pile on.
They were a couple of dollars each and they were like new. I tried to stick with mostly neutral outfits in yellows, greens, and baby blues. I got some adorable clothing with ducks, frogs, and hippos. I did cave in for a few dresses that were too cute to pass up. I figure I could pass them along or reconsign them for probably what I paid. It was almost too good to be true. There was a news team from channel 14 there taping the event. At the checkout, I got a coupon for a free chik-fil-A chicken biscuit. So I went over there, had a nice breakfast and called mom. She met me back over at the church sale at 12:00. After 12:00 the majority of items were 50% off. We made a second round and got a pottery barn crib bedding set with curtains and all the pieces. We got bottle warmers and baby wipe warmers, and an inflatable quacking bath duck. More clothes and hats. I doubt we'll need many more clothes for summer. The second time through mom grabbed lots of chicken coupons too so I'll be eating good for a month. It was really a great bargain and a lot of fun!!! I love a good hunt and was really proud of the treasures we found. I have marked on my calendar when the winter sale is. I guarantee I'll be there.
