some moms and dads we know trying to
afford everything that you want to buy
for your kids everything that they want
can be extremely difficult if not
impossible but this week you have the
opportunity to find some gently used
items like clothes costumes toys
furniture I'm telling you I go every
year and then I hold things for
birthdays so it's all part of the
Finders Keepers consignment sale it
starts this Thursday at 9:00 a.m. it
runs through Saturday every year it's at
the Morocco Shrine Center auditorium
there are two a year this one getting us
all ready for summer so joining me now
to talk more about this huge sale Kim is
with Finders Keepers consignment sale
and it's always an exciting time and
people who know know what they're
getting into but let's for people who
have no idea this is just a massive
really community sale it is it is we
take in about 65 to 75 thousand items
within two and a half days and then turn
around and host a three-day public sale
that opens this Thursday at the Morocco
shrine and within that sale it is
categorized it is itemized it is so
organized but yet very overwhelming to
but from infant children baby toddler
all the way to teen junior sizes and not
just baby stuff I think people come and
they say the strollers and you know what
the picture is a lot of the infant stuff
we truly have something for everyone and
I'm going to say something cool I think
when you do go if you're looking for
educational sources for your kids that's
another really good one because those
books you know they're there and a lot
of those are brand new yep books we have
a great homeschooling section you know
daycares utilizes different types of mom
groups there really is so much for
everyone puzzles you know what in toys
just different things you know I do
therapy with children so to have my own
stock in my car and I get it the best
part is 50 to 70% off or you know jew--
that's that's the main part of what we
do to have for that community aspect 50
to 70 percent of our retail and if
you're not familiar I mean and next year
or even later in the moment when you all
do it again this is these are community
items too so people in the community
they come they mark the prices that they
want they get a percentage of that money
and then you get a steal of a deal -
that's right that's right so it's not
donated it's not stuff that people would
give you know either to another charity
I suspect it is you know the Salvation
Army exactly it is majority the stuff I
brought is brand new attacks you know
from all the life spectrum from brand
new and these little Gator mobiles this
boppy is five dollars right you know so
something that's brand-new something not
maybe you need an extra set in your
house or it is your second third fourth
baby grandma needs something froster
parents it just an average deal I love a
good deal I know all right so what's the
attack because as you've seen in these
pictures folks it is very overwhelmed
when you start and I know you say
sometimes you want to go right to the
things okay a big item no no safe no I
mean we have about four football fields
of racks right so there there will be
close okay will be that size and those
things but the outdoor slides the fan
tables the kitchens the gliders the
rockers those things may not be there
that person two steps ahead of you could
have gettin it first-come first-serve
so I always like to do those items first
and then kind of go down and have my
plan as what I need making a list
knowing your children's size even for
the next year because things are it's
such a great deal yeah and then have a
place to stash them when you get home
yeah we're thinking or a Christmas guest
they do not see them yeah and then the
other cool thing is if you can go on
Saturday morning there are a lot of
items that are 50 / 50 percent off so
that's our last day and we are only here
twice a year so you know it can be
overwhelming it can be a task bring the
family bring kids but it is so worth it
we try to be good accommodating to every
shopper you know when we say 50% off I
mean you're talking things you'll get
him for like two and three dollars like
nice yeah this is 50% so that would be
two dollars and fifty cents thank you so
much thank you giving you guys deals out
here this is one of my favorite
consignment sales I tried to bring her
on so that you know it's available to
you so again the Finders Keepers
consignment sale kicks off this Thursday
at the Morocco Shrine Center auditorium
on st. John's Bluff Road it runs from 9
a.m. to 8 p.m. again open on Friday from
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and then on Saturday
even if you went any of the other days
I'd say make your way there on Saturday
because most of the items that are still
there will be half off
