When we’re paying pennies for school supplies in an effort to get ready for back to school, it only makes sense to try to save on the bigger-ticket items too. Wichita has a number of great consignment sales that will help you do just that. See the list of 2019 Fall consignment sales in Wichita below.
Most consignment sales offer pre-sale shopping passes to consignors or volunteers for shopping when the selection is best. The last day of the sale is often a half-price day, when many items will be marked down to get them sold quickly. (Not all items will be marked down on the last day of the sale; be sure to find out how you’ll recognize the discounted items at each sale.)
Some of the “big-ticket” items you can find at children’s consignment sales include:
- Shoes (remember to look for PE shoes too), snow or rain boots
- Clothing/school uniforms
- Backpacks
- Coats and outerwear

How about a shout out to all the local children’s resale shop that are open year round for Back To School? They work hard to provide a convenience for busy parents, but have much higher expenses to pay the rent, utilities, employ associates, etc. I love consignment sales too but would love for local resale shops to get some love too. All but one is a locally (woman) owned small business.
I would love to have a list of all the local children’s consignment stores and resale shops here on the blog. That’s a great idea. I just need to find the time (or the money to hire someone) to do it. I don’t know if you know it, but Wichita on the Cheap is a one-woman operation. (You can see more about the site and why I started it here: https://wichitaonthecheap.com/about . Doing the best for readers AND local businesses is what it’s all about.)
Yes, you missed one!! Kansas Kids Closet Aug 1-3rd at the State Fair Grounds in Hutchinson at the Domestic Arts Building! 8am-8pm on Friday and 8am-2pm on Sat!!
Thanks. I’ll add that one. š
