I love Once Upon a Child

I do OUAC every fall and spring, to get whatever clothes I need for the boys for the winter or summer, respectively. I refuse to buy new clothes unless I can't find what I need used. I love to not worry about them messing up thier "good clothes" and just letting them be boys!

So far in shopping for this little girl, I've done mostly rummage sales, but come fall, I'll fill in the gaps at OUAC.

Oh, and I almost always buy a few birthday and christmas presents there...not only is it cheaper, you don't have so much packaging to fight with!

Independently owned chain of stores that specializes in reselling kids clothes, furniture and equipment. The one's locally here carry newborn to kids size 14, boys and girls clothes, cribs, changing tables, etc. They also usually have shoes, slings, toys, etc.

Lots of times they have new stuff, like car seats, that they buy at a discount and sell at a semi-discount. They usually have lots of stuff way cheaper than retail.

They also buy gently used equipment, furniture and toys, though, from experience I can say that they don't pay much when you sell.

Some of them even carry maternity clothes...but never anything in my size...

I plan on shopping there after baby is born. I love resale childrens shops!! My parents almost franchised a Once Upon A Child but they opened their own childrens resale shop and it was quite a hit for awhile. She's been thinking about reopening it *maybe* which would be awesome. Unfortunately I think there's only a couple store like it around my area so there won't be too much options. But still a bargain is a bargain

Me to, me to!

Wednesday I scored,
3 pairs of pants for DS
