Wee Trade Children’s Consignment Sale

It’s time to start thinking about fall. Yeah, I know school isn’t even out yet and there’s summer to enjoy, but now is the time to register to consign your gently used kids’ clothes, toys and accessories at the Wee Trade Children’s Consignment Sale held at the WNC Ag Center in Fletcher, across from the Asheville Airport.

Sale dates: August 6 -8, 2010.

Deadline for registering and printing price tags is 2 p.m. on August 1.

This event is near and dear to my “on the cheap” heart. A great way to get some cash for your items (you keep 70% of the prices you set) as well as to get new gear for back to school.

Ann Taylor LOFT offers discount for gently worn pants

Customers who donate their gently-worn pants at any LOFT store will receive $15 off each full price pant purchase from Monday, March 2 to Sunday, March 8. All donated pants from the partnership will be sold in Goodwill® retail stores and the revenues will help fund Goodwill job training programs and support services.

Donate Old Jeans - Get 25% Coupon

Aeropostale stores have teamed up with Do Something to provide jeans for homeless teens, and they are counting on customers to help them.

Here’s how it works: from now until February 22nd, drop off a pair of gently worn jeans at any Aeropostale store and receive a coupon good for 25% off a new pair.

Aeropostale will make sure the donated jeans are distributed to local homeless shelters and charities. Last year they collected 125,000 pairs and they hope to double that this year.

Thanks to our friends at Albuquerque On The Cheap and Santa Fe On The Cheap for this tip! There is an Aeropostale store at the Asheville Mall.
