Just Between Friends Consignment Sale

Yesterday morning I did a little shopping at the Just Between Friends Overland Park consignment sale. What is the Just Between Friends consignment sale, you ask? Well let me tell you all about it! 

Just Between Friends, or JBF, is a large local consignment sale where area parents can consign clothes, shoes, games, puzzles, strollers, carseats, and more in order to easily purge their home of the items they no longer need. And in my case, I'm not a consignor but should be, make room for more things to come back into the house! And when I say area parents consign their items, I'm not kidding! Take a look for yourself.

Can you believe this? And it's so incredibly organized. The sale is broken down by sections, which are very clearly marked, by boys/girls, clothes, electronics, books, sporting equipment, etc.... And you can truly find everything you were ever looking for or something you didn't even know you needed! That latter part always seems to be the case for me!

So what all can be found? I decided to break it down a little, focusing on things that are trendy, must-haves, possibly holiday gifts, and just plain cute! Let's start with just plain cute.

Do you see these darling lady bug shoes? So cute! They are NEW with tags from Gymboree! Let me say that again, they are NEW with tags! Had been $24.95. At the sale, $9! These fall into the plain cute, must-have, and didn't know you needed them categories! I need them! Wish I was an 18-24 month foot!

We went to Disney World over the summer and my son decided to buy out all five parks! Seriously, though, he did. We came home with Buzz Lightyear, a Bucket of Army Men, Rex (which my husband physically carried onto the plane), Bullseye the horse, and that's just from Toy Story. I wish I was kidding. Well guess what, you don't have to go to Disney World, buy out the parks, and then carry the toys onto the plane coming home. You can shop JBF!!! Check this out! It's Buzz, Woody, Jessie, and the Bucket of Army Men all under one roof! They look so happy and really want to go home with you! They need a new kid. File this under the category of trending now and need it for the holidays.

While we're on the topic of toys, I loved Barbie growing up. Still do! She was my go-to toy to play with when I was little. And if I could, I would still play Barbies today! Look at this! It's a super cute camper, Barbie clothing case, and yacht! A yacht! My Barbies didn't have a yacht! 

And a Dream House! They had a Dream House. A Mid Century Modern Dream House!!! Please, someone come and get these pieces for your daughter, niece, next door neighbor, or local blogger who wants to play! It's so cute. There's that cute category again. And always on trend. 

Do you have a kiddo that's just getting into sports, or outgrown their current equipment? There is a full bucket of all things baseball and softball related! And it all looks brand new!

Got a skater, or a want to be skater, but you don't want to pay a lot for something they may or may not enjoy? Pick one up at the JBF sale. You will be the hero and they will look super cool while at the skate park! 

Have a tiny dancer who's feet are constantly growing, needs a new leotard all the time, or just wants to play dress up at home? Well here you go! I definitely file these items under the must-have category!

Looking to travel, send your kiddo off to Mommy and Me with a little backpack, or need a lunchbox STAT? Look no further. There is something for everyone here! Definitely a must-have, with trendy graphics, and super cute for littles!

Um, let's chalk this guy up to things you didn't even know you needed!

Halloween is right around the corner. Do you have your costumes yet? Don't want to have to pay a fortune for one? Have one, but the kiddo changed his/her mind? Check out the racks and racks of costumes!! It's a gold mine! Definitely a must-have here!

Need a must-have winter coat?

Have a reader at home? Look at ALL of these books! So many series bundled together. So many retro reads like Judy Blume and Beverly Cleary. If I didn't still have mine at home, I would have taken these gems home. Must-haves, super cute reads, and things you need!

As I was leaving, I found this large pile of clothing on the floor and peaked around the corner to see a mom shopping away! I asked her if these were all hers, and with a laugh, she replied yes. A mom of multiples stocking up! I loved this so much!! This is what I call shopping on a budget while getting all the categories of cute, must-haves knocked out in on trip! She even brought her own cart! Good use of that wagon, mama!

I made my way to the checkout counter with these gems! I love a good Melissa and Doug find and I can't wait to give McKinley these vintage Tinker Toys! I loved mine, and with the way he's constantly constructing something at home, these will be perfect! My category of holiday shopping for cute things is complete!

The JBF sale starts today and runs through Sunday at the Overland Park Convention Center. Head here to get your free ticket! And bring your stamina! You'll need it!

Just Between Friends - Shawnee Shop

Have you ever shopped a consignment sale? I'm not talking like a cute little boutique in a posh strip mall. I'm talking a HUGE consignment sale that offers rows and rows of the most must-have items from baby to big kids. From bath tubs to ball pits. Bed rails to a Lightening McQueen bed frame! If you haven't, much like myself, you need to head out to the Just Between Friends (JBF) consignment sale in Shawnee!

I attended their pre-sale yesterday and was blown away! I've heard about these sales, but I've never actually gone, and I think I've definitely been missing out. You can find everything you've ever wanted and everything you never knew you needed! Rows and rows of clothes for baby girls to size 12 boys. Ballet shoes and tap shoes for a budding dancer to a full-on dance card full dancer! A rocking horse on springs which I haven't seen in years. Walk behind toys, toddler chairs, play mats, and so much more!

 

 Just Between Friends receives all of their items from local parents just like you. These consignors set their own prices and create a tag for each item through the tagging system put in place by JBF. Once they have their loot prepped and ready, they simply drop off their goods and they're done. The JBF team will inspect all items directly on the sales racks after it's dropped off. Any items not accepted, based on quality post inspection, will be available for pick up after the sale is over. And, you receive a commission on the items you sell! Consignors receive 65% on their sold items! Cha-Ching! Interested in learning more on becoming a consignor? Head here!

I mentioned earlier that you can find anything at this sale and I wasn't kidding. But one of the things that truly caught my eye was the rows and rows of car seats and strollers! Have you priced a car seat or stroller recently? If you haven't, I'm going to be completely honest with you, they are super expensive. A necessity that costs a small fortune! But JBF has you covered! And, again, items like these are thoroughly inspected, and if they have expired, they are retired! You will not be sold something that doesn't meet current safety standards! How amazing is that! JBF stands up to that Just Between Friends motto for sure! 

Are you looking for toys? I'm going to tell you that toys are a plenty! And everything you might possibly want, or not want, for your child to have is available for purchase! Had McKinley been there with me, I'm pretty sure my bag would have been full of those items we don't need! Speaking of bags, when you enter the sale, you are provided a giant Ikea bag for shopping. And once you fill it full, and still have more shopping to do, there's a hold section that I utilized! And that Ikea bag was filled to the brim! My shoulder hurt from the weight! And I can also vouch for the fact that there are a lot of brand new, with tag items! New, people!! And on sale! Can't beat that. I got a jump on Christmas gifts yesterday!

Need games, books, puzzles, and electronics? They have those too! Books galore! Puzzles a plenty! And DVD's for those long car trips. Fun learning electronics as well. I'm serious when I tell you that this sale offers everything!

So, based on all of this information, are you ready to shop? Well you are in luck! the sale starts today April 11th and runs through Sunday April 14th. And, if you head to their Event Brite site, you get in for free. FREE! Missed this link? Admission is $2 at the door. You might want to head to the link! 

And I need to mention a super fun fact! If you are currently expecting, and attend the sale, every expectant mom receives a Noobie Box! What's Noobie Box? It's a free pregnancy box filled with samples and goodies for both you and your baby and a Noobie Guide with information and offers. The free Noobie Box is a one-time gift and Just Between Friends is the only consignment sale that provides this exclusive offer! Head to Noobie to learn more about this box!

And if you can't make this weekends sale, don't fret! There's another one coming to Overland Park in May. And, just like today, I will have you covered with all the event details. 

So, what are you waiting for? Get ye to the Wyndotte County Fairgrounds and start shopping! Just take a peek at all I scored yesterday!
