Just Between Friends Brooklyn Park Holiday Kids’ Sale Nov 19 – 22 (Free Opening Day Ticket)

By

Kids Grow Fast JBF

Just Between Friends Winter/Holiday Sale in Brooklyn Park!

In November, as it’s gets colder and darker outside, I usually go through my kids’ stuff to get rid of old and figure out what new clothes and items they may need and want for Christmas.
Of course, kids grow so fast and their stuff can be expensive, which is why I rarely buy things new. Instead, I’ve bought things gently used for years, especially at Just Between Friends kids consignment sales!
 
And just in time for winter and holiday shopping, there’s a big, safe, not-to-be-missed Just Between Friends Winter Kids Sale coming up November 19 – 22, 2020 in Brooklyn Park! And they have new safety protocols to keep everyone safe and healthy.

Why I Love Just Between Friends Sales!

My kids and I have gone to these sales for YEARS. There are tons of used kids items (and some new items!) and the prices are way more affordable than if you were buying new. The selection is always huge and the quality is high, as there are standards for everything that is on sale. There are so many reasons to visit a sale!

Here are 5 reasons to shop at this sale:

  • It’s all kids stuff! If you need something for your kids, you’ll find it here and much more.
  • The quality is better than you’ll find elsewhere, like thrift shops.
  • The variety! There are so many of each item to choose from, from strollers to winter jackets.
  • The prices are reasonable and so much lower than you’ll find for brand new items. 
  • Between masks and reserved shopping times, everything is as safe as possible for you and everyone else!

The one drawback to all the good you’ll find of course is that it’s easy to go overboard and want to buy it all! Especially if you have your kids with you as they’ll want a lot of the toys (just a note from a mama with experience!)!

What to Expect

Scheels Eden Prairie

Have you heard about Scheels?

Scheels in Eden Prairie originally opened in 2006 as a 20,000 square-foot retail store specializing in sports products, fashion and footwear.

This summer, they moved to a newly built 250,000 square-foot location in the Eden Prairie Center. It’s more than a shopping experience now, and has everything from a 65-foot ferris wheel, a 16,000-gallon aquarium, a cafe, a candy shop, a toy shop, plus many interactive games and activities for the whole family.

Target Car Seat Trade-In Event September 13 – 26 (Free Recycling & Save 20% on a New One!)

By

Target’s Car Seat Trade-In Event returns September 13-26, 2020, where you can recycle used car seats for free!

All car seats collected through this popular program will be recycled so that each component will see a second life. And what’s super neat is that when you recycle your car seat, you get a 20% coupon for a new car seat, stroller or other baby gear item!

Target Car Seats 2020

Here’s what you do:

  1. Bring an old car seat or base to a nearby Target and drop it in the designated box outside the store.
  2. Open your Target App to scan the code on the box. Talk to a Team Member in Guest Services if you need help.
  3. Open your Wallet in the Target App and view “Extra offers” to find your coupon + more contactless savings.
  4. Click the green checkmark next to the offer and place your order online, or scan your barcode at the register.

I also recommend that you combine your savings with using your RedCard, which saves you 5% on all purchases (I love mine!).

My 10 Favorite Deals for Moms (& Kids!) at Gordmans

By

gordmanscoonrapids

This winter in Minnesota has been unseasonably mild and…odd. We were outside for a family walk without jackets just a couple weekends ago, then we had cold days, then more mild days, some crazy wind, and then yesterday, tornadoes, followed by some short-lived snow overnight.

What the heck, Minnesota?

So…I’ve decided that winter’s DONE (woohoo!), which means getting ready for (official) warm weather, Easter and – spring cleaning! That also means out with the old, in with the new. And one place I like to get “new” is Gordmans. [Read more…]

JBFSale6.jpg
Fellow moms of the Twin Cities – I want to introduce you to Just Between Friends, a children’s consignment sale that happens several times per year right here in the metro area! You can get gently used children’s clothes, toys, baby equipment, sports gear and so much more, for as little as a fraction of the price you’d get them new. It’s a frugal mom’s shopping dream come true!

justbetweenfriends

I discovered Just Between Friends a few years ago, when my kids were toddlers (here’s my review of one of my sale visits a few years ago). I wish I had known about them when I was pregnant, because I would have saved a ton of money on baby stuff! To help other moms out there though, and moms-to-be, I’m spreading the word about these don’t-miss sale events, including one coming up in the Maple Grove/Brooklyn Park area next week!

First, here are the details of next week’s sale:
