It's Almost Time to Shop the LFA Kids Consignment Event

October 6, 2015
You don’t want to miss this!...

The highly anticipated, LFA KIDS MEGA CONSIGNMENT EVENT, Roanoke’s LARGEST consignment event is this month. Plan some girl time and get ready to grab some great deals!

With a new “home” at the Berglund Center, LFA Kids Consignment is even bigger than before. Almost 600 local families bring their gently used items together to create a sight to behold. Hundreds of thousands of items neatly organized by category, gender and size by one of the greatest group of volunteers around with everything you could think of needing for your children (and maybe even yourself..) No matter your taste or budget, there is something for everyone and you won’t be disappointed.

Maternity clothes, Children’s clothing, Furniture, Shoes, Books, games, toys, Fashionista Ladies clothing, and more…

If you haven’t been, or think this is like the others that have popped up around town, you don’t know what you’re missing.

Check it out and follow these shopping tips to make sure you get the most out of your visit:

1. Like and Follow LFA Kids on Facebook to get all the sneak peek photos and any notifications close to opening day. 

2. Shop early for best selection. Doors open to the public Friday morning at 9:00am to a long line of anxious shoppers looking to be the first put their hands on the most coveted of items. 

3. Although the event does provide large blue IKEA bags for shopping, I have found it easier to bring a large laundry basket from home or even better, a rolling cart or wagon. Just make sure you receive a band at the door so they know it’s yours.

4. Take your time. There is a lot of quality items to look through. And if you want to see if all, plan on staying a while.

5. Remember to come back on the discount days to see what you may have missed the first visit and scoop up even more believable deals.
