Money! We all need it and so many times we don’t have it, right? Moving our family from Texas to Orlando was an expensive venture, as we moved ourselves. One of the more frequent questions we get asked is how did you save money to move your family to Florida. Let me tell you, it wasn’t easy. For one year our budget was tightened and continues to be tight, but we made it happen. We did the normal things. We started making coffee at home, rather than stopping at Starbucks. We started having family dinners at home rather than spending money on eating out. We also had family fun nights which involved games and videos, rather than going out to putt putt or movies. There was one other thing we did, and it was such a huge help. We consigned all of the clothes and toys our kids had out grown. But we did not use your typical consignment store in the strip centers. We participated in a seasonal sale (Fall & Spring) with Just Between Friends, also known as JBF for short. JBF is North America’s leading children’s and maternity consignment sales event. Each JBF is locally owned and they will hold 2-3 sales a year. JBF is amazing and with a little bit of work it allowed our family to make a lot o money on items we would normally put in a garage sales or donate. We were fortunate enough to have JBF Fort Worth available to us, as they are Texas’ largest JBF event. And when I say large, I mean Texas LARGE!

We were very excited to learn that after taking the Florida plunge we would be able to continue to consign and shop with JBF. That’s right, there is a Just Between Friends – Central Florida event taking place just 15 minutes from our house at the Orlando Live Arts Center, located at 6405 S. Highway 17-92 Fern Park, FL 32730! Their Fall sales event will take place October 16-19. If you are interested in consigning, you can sign up here. If you are interested in attending the sales event, you can view the full sale calendar here. There will be tons of deals to take advantage of and I have to believe Disney items will be a plenty!
