This Ain't Yo Mama's Charity Sale
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
The winner of the presale ticket is Amy! And because I'm feeling extra generous, I'm going to provide her with TWO tickets to the presale so she can bring a friend. To the rest of you, sorry you didn't win, but I hope you will join us NEXT Friday and Saturday for the sale! I'm sure I'll be floating around there somewhere, so ask around and hopefully I'll get to see you!
IF you are in the Salt Lake area.
IF you have little kids, a baby, or are pregnant.
IF you like to save money on stuff for your kids.
THEN I have something I think you'll be interested in. Have you ever shopped at some place like Kid2Kid? They have some pretty nice stuff, the prices are low, and everything is organized by gender, size, and type of clothing. What if I could tell you about a place that was like about TEN Kid2Kid stores all in one place? Would you be interested? I'm betting that you would.
My church puts on a twice-yearly sale that is just like that. They bring in about 100 different consignment sellers who bring all of their inventory - clothes, shoes, toys, maternity wear, the works. Everything is gently used, but it is pre-screened by our committee. Any item that is out of season, has a stain, a bad smell, or a tear is immediately returned to the seller and is not placed for sale.
All items are hung up on a hangers with all matching pieces attached and the price clearly marked. Then it is all set up on clearly marked racks for each gender and size so you can go straight to the items that will fit your kids.
Looking for furniture, toys, outdoor play equipment, or cute maternity clothing - they've got 'em. And the prices are about 70% off of retail. Like I said, this isn't your Mama's charity sale. I've been to lots of church charity sales. Whether they call it a rummage sale, a garage sale, or a yard sale, it's all pretty much the same. You can usually find a few good deals, but you have to dig through heaps of stuff and a lot of it isn't worth buying. These are top quality items and it is organized for Moms with a desire for a bargain who want to get in, find what they want, and get on with their day!
Let me give you some details and a special offer.
985 East 10600 South

Here are the sales dates & times:
Friday, April 8, 9 am- 8 pm - No strollers before noon due to crowds
Saturday, April 9, 8 am – 2 pm - Clothes & shoes an extra 25% off on Sat.
However, there is a little secret. There is a pre-sale to get first crack at all the best stuff! A very exclusive pre-sale that only lasts for just an hour and a half - 7 PM to 8:30 PM on Thursday April 7th. Usually this event is only for the dozens of volunteers who help out with the sale. However, I'm going to give you a chance to win one of these exclusive pre-sale tickets.
Just FYI - kids are not allowed at the Pre-sale. It's kind of a mob scene and we don't want anyone getting hurt. And besides, you need your arms free for grabbing all the great deals.
PS: If you don't win a pre-sale ticket, you might be able to volunteer for a 3 hour shift and earn one - if there's any spots left. Leave me a comment and I'll put you in touch with the organizers. 'Cuz I know people....
To win the pre-sale ticket - You get ONE entry just for leaving me a comment. You get a SECOND entry if you Tweet or Facebook this to your friends. You get a THIRD entry if you follow my blog. Please leave a separate comment for each entry.
I will draw the winner on April 2nd and I will Email you immediately to get your address to mail your pre-sale ticket. Please be sure there is a valid Email on your profile or in your comment. NoReplyBlogger isn't going to be helpful here.
Anyway, I hope you can come. This is going to be a great sale and all the leftover clothes and proceeds are going to go to local charities and to support our church programs. So you get a good bargain and do a good deed at the same time. Sounds like a winner to me!

I would love a ticket to the pre-sale. I have gone every time for the last 2.5 years. I get everything I need for the next season. In fact Team Jensen heard about the sale from me! I would love to go to the pre-sale!

I was SO excited to win! The sale was great on Thursday night I got everything on my list. BONUS my hubby was able to care for our son instead of me trying to find a babysitter. It was a great sale! Thanks for the passes! I took Team Jensen with me so technically two of us that posted won! Thanks a ton Adrian! BTW I asked around and looked at every name tag, but didn't see you. Bummer.
