November is soon upon us and many of us will be looking for ways to save a little dough for the holidays. Hitting the winter Just Between Friends sale is one of my favorite money saving tricks. I know. You might be wondering "Didn't we just have a JBF sale?". And yes, we did. BUT now it's time for winter and this is where thrifty moms (and dads!) shine. The fall sale is amazing; and it's massive. The winter sale is still huge, but more manageable. You have more time to look through, make a plan and search for the best deals. Early November is also prime position to knock some things off your holiday lists!

Here are some of my favorite JBF scores that are money savers for the holidays:
1). Holiday outfits. Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanza, New Years and everything in between. Kids wear there picture worthy outfits for a few hours- maybe? No need to pay retail for these. Shop hundreds of beautiful outfits for the holidays at the sale.
2). Dress shoes. Same as a the fancy holiday outfits; buy like new shoes for a fraction of the cost!
3). Books as gifts. Have any kids or book lovers on your list? Buying slightly loved books is a huge win for your wallet and the environment. Plus, the best thing about a book is it's just as good the 10th time it's read as the 1st!
4). Holiday Decor. There are TONS of decorations, ornaments and more.
5). Room decor. New artwork for a tween's bedroom look great under the tree and no one will know it's from a consignment sale.
6). Large and Outdoor Toys. Bikes, trampolines, Barbie houses, sports gear and more.
7). Toys. Toys. and more Toys. Find tons of great toys for your little ones at the winter sale! Be on the look out because there are plenty new in packaging items!
8). Puzzles and Games. Use as gifts or just fun family entertainment to get through the long winter months!
But above all, my number one tip is this: GET TO THE SALE! You're sure to score great deals, but browsing around I always find even more ideas that I walked in with. See what's there, cross off what you can on your list for a fraction of retail prices and fill in the rest later!
In addition to holiday items, you'll find everything you need for kids and babies to get through the winter. From feeding supplies to strollers, educational toys to Eagles fan gear you'll find it all for less at JBF! Be sure to double check your kid's snow gear: jackets, bibs, boots, hats, gloves and scarfs. There's nothing worse than running out the day before a storm to pay premium prices when you know you could have just stocked up at the winter sale!
This sale is popular, so make a plan to shop now. If you have a large ticket item you're hoping to score, I'd highly recommend buying a $5 Early Access ticket! The rest of the days are great shopping too; here's the schedule:
