As a mom to a 10-month-old, finding great deals on baby essentials is a must, especially with the holidays around the corner. That’s why I’m so excited about the Just Between Friends (JBF) consignment sale happening in Grand Rapids this week!

From September 11th-14th, families can find everything from gently used children’s toys to clothing and decor at unbeatable prices—50-90% off retail! The best part? Not only is it budget-friendly, but it’s also an eco-conscious way to shop for your little ones. During their spring sale, I got several outfits and a chair for my son. Now that he's standing and moving more, I can't wait to see what else I can find.

That's why I love the JBF sale- they have fantastic deals on things for your family in all stages of their life. Plus, you'll feel better knowing you made the eco-friendly decision of buying used instead of new.

The sale will return to the former Art Van building on 4273 Alpine Ave NW in Comstock Park. If you want to snag early deals, you can grab tickets for $3 for today's event. But if you're willing to wait, entry is free for the rest of the event September 12th-14th.

As a mom, I know how fast kids grow out of clothes and toys, so a sale like this is a great way to stock up without breaking the bank. Plus, you’ll find quality items at a fraction of the cost, which is perfect for anyone looking to save money on presents before the holiday season kicks in.

Whether you're shopping for your baby or searching for thoughtful gifts, the Just Between Friends sale is a can’t-miss opportunity to shop smart and save big. I’ll definitely be there—maybe I’ll see you hunting for some great finds, too!
