Beach Babies Kidsale this weekend!

BBKSIt’s Beach Babies Kidsale time again! The spring sale is this weekend. It begins on Saturday, March 9th, and concludes on Tuesday, March 12th. It’s held at the X Sports Complex off George Bishop Parkway in Myrtle Beach, across from the former Freestyle Music Park. You can see the full schedule with hours here. Helpful hint: you’ll want to get there at your very earliest convenience to have your choice of the best items!

If you’re an expectant mom, new mom, military mom, or grandmother, there’s a special pre-sale for you on March 8th from 7 to 9 p.m. Registration is required. You can learn more about that here. On that form it only mentions new moms, but the other categories are welcome, as well.

I had the opportunity to browse the items for sale before the Fall event last year and the selection was fantastic! This is a truly great opportunity to load up on gear, toys, clothing, and furniture at a fraction of the retail price. In addition, there are many vendors that will be on site for additional shopping options.

Have fun! And if you’d like to keep up with the latest from the Beach Babies Kidsale, check them out on Facebook.

Giveaway: Beach Babies Kidsale Consignor Passes

By 11 Comments

BBKSIt’s almost time for the Spring Beach Babies Kidsale. It’s a spot for financially savvy parents to come together, buying and selling their new and gently used baby gear, clothing, toys, and more.

From March 9 – 12, 2013, the sale will take over half of the X Sports Mall on George Bishop Parkway. Those with items to sell stand to make quite a bit of money on things they don’t need or use any more. Those who intend to shop are going to get some *great* deals.

Much to my delight, the organizers of this very popular, twice-yearly sale have generously given me two consignor passes to give to you!  Why be a consignor? I’ve got five reasons.

1. Make Money – The average consignor made over $300 last sale.
2. Declutter your home – Their top sellers include baby equipment, boutique clothing, kitches, toys, and outdoor play structures.
3. Reuse and Recycle
4. Shop before the public and get the best deals.
5. Help other local moms.

To learn even more about consigning, here is a link to the Beach Babies Kidsale consignor page with many helpful tips.

Now go take a look around your house. Have you got items that are in great shape, you no longer use, and would be of value to other moms? If so, this is for you!

To enter, all you have to do is comment on this post (no comments via Facebook, Twitter, or email will be accepted). Tell us approximately how much you spent on gear during your baby’s first year. If you’re an expecting parent, tell us how much you anticipate spending. There is no wrong answer!

When entering, you will be asked to provide a valid email. This is how I will contact you if you win. MyrtleBeachforFamilies.com respects your privacy and never shares your information.

This contest is open from the time of publication until 11:59 a.m. on Tuesday, February 12, 2013. You may only enter one time. The winner has 48 hours to respond. Failure to do so will result in another entrant being chosen, so make sure you provide an email address you check frequently. Each of the two winners will receive one consignor pass.

The Beach Babies Kidsale consignment event is this weekend!

By Leave a Comment

It’s insane how much baby and child-related products cost, isn’t it?  I whined about how much school supplies set me back a few weeks ago.  I vow, ever year, to really budget myself for Christmas and then mourn each January when the realization hits that I didn’t stick to it.  Expectant parents, did you know that it can cost literally thousands to furnish and decorate your new baby’s nursery?  Myrtle Beach area moms know and they’ve put together a fantastic event to help some make money and others save a lot!

The semi-annual Beach Babies Kidsale is this weekend.  It’s a consignment sale.  In case you don’t know what that is, it’s when families gather their gently used items and sell them.  Family 1 benefits from the income from the sale and Family 2 benefits from getting a quality item at the fraction of the cost of purchasing it new. 

The sale is located at the old SBB location across from Inlet Square Mall.  The address is 11980 Highway 17 Bypass.  You can check out their website for more information.  You can also connect with them on Facebook. 

Expecting, new moms, military moms, and grandmothers can shop at the pre-sale on Friday, September 9th from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.  The sale opens to the general public on Saturday, September 10th at 9:00 a.m.  You can see the full schedule here.

Happy bargain hunting!
