West Michigan Mom Sale in Grand Rapids, MI - September 16th and 17th, 2011!

Earlier this year I posted about the West Michigan Mom's Sale that was going on in Grand Rapids, MI.   Well, this weekend, Friday and Saturday (September 16th and 17th) they're having it again at the Deltaplex in GR!  It's like a giant indoor yard sale with hundreds of tables of moms selling their gently used baby, kids, and maternity items -- clothing (newborn - sz.16), toys, baby/toddler furniture, baby gear, and maternity clothing.  It's a great "Mom to Mom" type sale, and you can find lots of bargains!  Right now is also a great time to go since most yard/garage sales are done for the year.

The sale is on September 16 & 17 at the DeltaPlex Arena (in Grand Rapids) from 9am-2pm. Admission is $3 per person for 1 day, or purchase a 2 day ticket for only $5. Children 12 and under are free. Parking is free!

My sister and I went a few years ago with a couple girlfriends and we all had a fun time and found bagfuls of great deals -- we have 14 kids between the 4 of us, of all ages, and we all found things we were looking for.  I find that the prices were a bit higher than what I would normally spend at a typical yard sale -- but the convenience of hundreds of sales in one place, indoors (no heat/cold, bugs or rain!), and no paying for gas to drive all over town was worth it!  And overall, most items being sold were very good quality.

Here are some tips from their website for shoppers:
•Arrive early for the best deals.
•Bring your own reusable shopping bag.
•Bring cash in small bills. Checks will not be accepted.
•If you anticipate purchasing a large item and will be unable to carry it yourself, please bring someone with you that can help.
