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. In fact, JBF was recently featured on Good Morning America.

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. The Just Between Friends sale for area residents will be held at the end of April and first part of May – continue to check www.jbfsale.com for details and updates.  

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, junior’s 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.

In addition to benefiting sellers and buyers, the JBF sale will also profit area communities through donations to the Bixby Community Center. “We charge a $3 admission the first day, and that goes to benefit our charity.”

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.

For those planning to shop the sale, check the website for dates and times, and bring a laundry basket for carrying all your bargains and goodies.
