Families Save and Earn at JBF

Many families are buying and consigning at Just Between Friends, the nation’s leading children’s and maternity consignment event.

The economy is a big topic of conversation right now for people of all walks of life – everyone is trying to figure out how to pinch a few extra pennies and earn some extra cash. A perfect solution for many families is buying and consigning at Just Between Friends, the nation’s leading children’s and maternity consignment event.

With the state of the economy, JBF sales are growing exponentially. Because so many consumers are struggling right now, many are turning to consignment shopping and selling for the first time. “So many people have told us this helps pay a bill for them,” says Karen Cable, franchise owner of the Broken Arrow sale. “We’ve already seen huge increases in the number of consignors and shoppers at the Tulsa sales this season.” Sales at the Broken Arrow event are projected to be up about 20 percent from last year.

The Just Between Friends sale for area residents will take place Thursday through Saturday, March 18-20, at First Baptist Church of Broken Arrow in the Arc Building, located at 100 W. Albany.

Participating in JBF is a win-win financially for both consignors and shoppers. Consignors typically make 65 percent of sales from their merchandise, while those who consign and volunteer make 70 percent. Consignors also have the advantage of creating their own prices for items no longer being used around the house. With better returns than most consignment shops can offer and far less hassle than a garage sale, consignors are able to take all their items in one day and choose to pick up or donate items that don’t sell.

According to Karen, the prices and selection for shoppers is unrivaled, and they can find an entire season’s worth of items in one stop. “We have families that come to our sales twice each year and walk out with everything they need for their children in just a few hours. You can’t do that anywhere else for even close to our prices. It’s just good for everyone involved,” says Karen.

Items available include gently-used children’s, juniors and maternity clothing in addition to baby equipment, household furniture, software, videos, toys and much more. “If it has to do with children, we probably have it. And it’s only going to cost you about a third of what you pay at the mall,” explains Karen. Saturday, March 20 will be the sale’s half-price day.

In addition to benefiting sellers and buyers, the JBF sale will also profit area communities through donations to Arms Around Broken Arrow. “We charge a $3 admission the first day, and that goes to benefit our charities. Shoppers are also encouraged to donate canned food, personal hygiene products, diapers, formula or anything else that would benefit these organizations.”

It’s not too late to become a consignor, and a special presale is available for those consigning or volunteering to help during the sale. New moms are able to enjoy this presale as well.
