Lars624,
I used to pack up our old clothes for the mission. I just never thought it would be worth it to go to the consignment shop.
I did take my daughter's clothes to the consignment shop because there is such a demand for children's clothes.
I still give plenty to the mission-household stuff, furniture, etc.
We have a huge consignment shop here that is right by Meridian Mall, actually.
I iron all of our old clothes, put them on hangers and take them. I get 1/2 of the selling price and can pick up a check the month after items sell.
I honestly can't believe how much money I have made doing this. My kids go through clothes fast and I always have a pile of old things waiting to go. I have always sold everything I've taken and have people who wait for my stuff to come in-I guess I buy cute things.
Since this is money I never planned on having in the first place, I just use it for Disney Dollars. It's fun.
