BE PREPARED!

1. Bring a list of what you are looking for, in what size, and what you don’t need (for example: no more blue t-shirts) – it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the selection and to end up purchasing way too much, or to gravitate towards items similar to what you already have (maybe you’re a pushover for pink dresses….there will be lots at the sales!)
2. Make sure you know your kids’ current tastes; does you daughter not want to show her tummy (in bathing suits) or armpits (in shirts or dresses).
3. Measure your child’s inseam and write it down where it won’t be lost. Add another inch (for growth spurts!) and also document that number. Pack your tape measure for the sale. Many clothing items shrink after washing (especially in hotter dryer settings), some brands and fabrics more than others. 
4. Trace your children’s feet on cardboard before the sale and bring the cardboard cut-out to hold up against shoes you are considering. Remember to measure both feet; most of us have one foot that is slightly larger than the other. Use the larger cut-out to size potential shoes.
5. Make sure you will be shopping with a rolling cart – either a stroller where you can pile a bunch of stuff on, a rolling laundry hamper, or even a luggage cart and your laundry baskets from home secured with elastic tie-down straps. Sales are busy places, and you need to be able to keep your items with you.
6. Wear comfortable clothes. Layers are also helpful; it may be cold outside the sale as you wait to get in, but you’ll warm up when you start shopping.
7. This is one of the most important: if you can, Leave your kids at home!!!! It can be a big time/energy commitment to shop a yard sale, and it’s hard for little ones to go the distance as far as being patient while you look through all the merchandise, resisting the urge to not run off to play amongst all the tempting toys. Poor miserable little ones. Don’t underestimate how much you’ll a) have to ignore your child as you go from booth to booth, b) if they are mobile, how much time and energy you’ll spend chasing them around and steering them clear of all the toys and c) how long the entire process is going to take, from getting in the door, to looking through items to checking out.
