As a mom of kids who seem to outgrow their clothes between breakfast and bedtime, back-to-school season always hits me with one question: Where did all these clothes come from—and why don’t they fit anymore?!
That’s why August is my favorite time to clean out and cash in—thanks to the Sunflower Sprouts Consignment Sale, happening October 4–5, 2025, in Erie. It’s the easiest way to clear out those overflowing closets and earn some serious money. Even better? Consignors get to shop the sale before the public, scoring the very best deals on clothes, toys, gear, and more.
Want to join me in consigning? Here’s why it’s a no-brainer—and how to get started today.
