Kid to Kid - Consignment versus thrift
Today I went to Kid to Kid consignment for the first time just to try it out. I am always looking for the best option to get cute outfits for my toddler for cheap. I don't care about brands, just colorful and made of natural materials.
I brought a few things to consign just to see what they would take. They took a Nike dryfit shirt, 7 for all Mankind overalls, Janie and Jack long sleeve button up, and blue corduroy overalls + shirt. I shopped for some fall and winter items while I waited for the inventory. They gave me $4 for cash or $4.80 for store credit for my items. I found this to be a disappointing number. I know there needs to be a margin, but considering that the 10 items I wanted to purchase were $40+ and that includes the 10% discount they give you on purchase when you consign. I ended up putting a few things back to keep the cost down.
Full disclosure, I typically shop at Goodwill for my toddler and find great things for $2.69 a piece. Maybe this is just my frame of reference? I kind of expected consigning to help offset the cost of the new pieces more and maybe this played in to my disappointment.
What are your feelings on consignment versus thrift? What is your cheap, cute clothing hack?
