Score Some Spending Money, Take Your Clothing to Consignment Shops
Recently I went through my closet and removed everything I was not wearing or that no longer fit me and made two piles- one for charity donation and one to take to consignment stores. Though I am the first to admit it takes a little work to do the latter, for me it was a big payoff. There are so many good consignment stores in our area, but I chose two in the same block in Carlsbad Village- Clothing Cottage and Double Take. Clothing Cottage (call to make an appointment) paid me cash immediately by buying what they wanted, and Double Take (walk-ins ok) took what they wanted and put it on a 60 day consignment contract. I was encouraged by the "haul" I made and was happy with the new found cash I received to shop for new items. If your kid's clothes are in good repair and still fashionable, you can find plenty of stores to turn their clothes in to as well. Tips for bringing your clothes in: make sure everything is clean, stain free, fashionable and in good repair. Call your store to find out if you need to make an appointment or if they want you to bring items in on a hanger. Good luck!
