ShopLocal.com - compare local prices

Have you ever thrown away the sale circulars that you get in the mail and then realize that, indeed, you DO need to know what is on sale at the local JoAnn Fabric or Office Max?

This site has many of the big store circulars on line. You can also compare prices for specific items. You can also see the ads from your local newspapers.

This is a pretty big endeavor that has cost some big corporation a lot of money.... but is sure makes it easy on us.

Now, I'm not much one for buying at big name stores, but when I do, I hate to find out that the item I just bought at one store was on sale at another store. Yes.... they all say that they will give you the sale price of another store, but you have to KNOW it is on sale at another store. Now you can.

I wish there were more local non-chain stores on this site. Hopefully, the site will grow and there WILL be more small stores listed.

Meanwhile, if you must shop at JCPenny, Target, RiteAid, Walgreen, Ace Hardware, and the like, than at least you can check out all of their sales at once.

This site has portals for most of the major (and not so major - Altoona, PA) cities in the United States. ShopLocal.com

Spring L.A. Kids Consignment Super Sale

Here is a goodie for folks in the Los Angeles, California area. There is a Super Kids Consignment Sale. March 23-25, 2007 at Seville Hall, 7963 Van Nuys Blvd., Van Nuys, CA 91402.

I just found out about this FABULOUS twice-a-year sale. This is a kids - infant through pre-teen - products sale. (clothes, strollers, books, toys, maternity clothes, etc.)

The person that holds this sale, Kristen Nelson, will take your consignment items in advance, then sell them and then you get some of the money. Just like a regular consignment store... but the entire sale is just one weekend.

There are over 15,000 items and around 275 consignors.

What a great find! Got this just in time to let you know about the Spring Sale this coming weekend.

Wish my kids were little so that I would have a better reason to go to this sale.... but believe me, I'll go anyway... I'm sure I'll find something that is a bargain!

Here is the link to find out more: www.lakidsconsignment.com

Let me know if you go to this sale and if you got some good bargains.
