Just One Week Away!

The Just Between Friends Sale April 4th-7th

By Melinda Larke - Cherry Valley Macaroni Kid Publisher March 29, 2018
It's almost here! The Spring Just Between Friends sale will be at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds April 4-7.  Are you ready to save? 

JBF sales happen in the spring and fall and feature everything from maternity clothes and baby gear to clothing, shoes and toys from infants to teens – all new or gently used, at 50-90% off retail prices (plus, many items are an additional 50% off the final day of the sale!). Consignors are local moms like you and me, so chances are, if it’s something you’ve found useful as a mom, you will be able to find it at this sale! All of the items are inspected for quality and safety before hitting the sales floor. Plus, each sale is franchised and locally owned, so the money you spend is returning to your community. Local vendors are also featured at each sale and you can support local businesses by checking them out, too!​
Because the sales are seasonal, you can plan ahead and get summer ready or a special dress for an upcoming wedding (and at a great discount!), find summer toys and clothes or pick up birthday presents for your kids, nieces and nephews within the next 6 months. Planning ahead on these purchases will truly save you big bucks!

Step 2 - Shop until you drop -   But, before you go, remember to check the kids clothes and determine what they need! I know we need shorts, my kids think they need more toys.  Now, go shopping!  Over 20,000 square feet means lots of options.  Everything is organized so well that I have always been able to find what I need and more!  Once you have your needs, be sure to look through everything else; you never know where you are going to find that incredible treasure. My kids love the toy area, and I have found some great toys at great prices.  Take your time and have some fun!

Step 3 - Bring your treasures home - Cash is the preferred payment method at JBF sales but they do accept debit and major credit cards with a 3% surcharge added to all card payments.  Don't forget to bring your own bag (I always forget!) Then come back on Saturday for 1/2 price deals!

I look forward to this sale every Spring and Fall and have found some great deals (that the kids still wear and play with) at great prices.  I would love to see your treasures!  Tag Cherry Valley Macaroni Kid and Just Between Friends Everett/ Monroe  WA in your Facebook posts with all those great deals!
