Back-to-school shopping does not have to break the bank. That’s why Colorado’s children’s consignment sales are a fantastic solution for saving money.

For those not in the know, these semi-annual consignment extravaganzas feature children’s clothing from newborn to size 12, maternity clothing, car seats, cribs, bedding, feeding supplies, high chairs, potty chairs, bouncy chairs, swings, strollers, toys, books, videos, etc. at a fraction of the cost. Most of the sales have a nominal entrance fee and have half-price deals on the final day.

And did I mention killer deals?
