Comments
This sale on the first day was overwhelming, stuff was saturated (plenty)and seemed to be divided into categories by tables. As far as toys, I saw Barbie tables,Elmo tables,Polly Pocket tables, etc. -you get the idea.
Things were pretty much in bunches of whatever you might want. Strollers,high chairs,booster seats for the table, large play centers,carriers,potties, saucers,jumpers,warmers for wipes,bedding,diaper disposal , beds/mattresses,Clothing,etc.
If you go to this event, bring something to carry your purchases in. There are only a few carts and they go early. One lady told me she waited over an hour for a cart. There is also a line for anyone who wants one.
If you have children with you and nothing to put anything in you will lose out on deals. Bring your husband or other family members or a friend or two and BRING a basket or stroller or something to put your stuff in that you want!!!!!!
I saw women carrying laundry baskets,pulling laudry baskets with long ropes attached,carrying rubbermaid totes,extended strollers for 2 babies-one in the stroller and mommy carrying the other in a front carrier, and some women brought their plastic wagons,one pregnant woman next to me carried a baby swadding carrier (just as if it had a baby in it ) and carried a bunch of clothes in it . Believe me, women got inventive as far as collecting there purchases.
I went to this event with my husband and baby in a small stroller with no storage underneath and we only got 3 small items and my husband was gracious enough to carry 2 larger play items that my child liked. He looked like Superman with his arms strapped around those two items,one in one arm and the other in the other arm. He was determined to get them to the car via the snake like line you have to maze through to get to check out.
Also make sure you have enough time to check out. The lines were half full and it took over 30 minutes to check out.
If I go again, I will be prepared.
