Kids Market and Mom

For the past week and a half moms from all around the Birmingham area have been flocking to an old FoodWorld store at 4525 Southlake Parkway in Hoover bringing items such as books, art, toys, furniture, and clothes for both boys and girls.

How do I know this? I was one of the many husbands who got to help! I walked in there on Wednesday morning, February 20, and was amazed at the amount of items already on display ready for the BIG SALE!

According to the Kids Market and Mom website, "Kid's Market and Mom is the most unique and exciting way to purchase high quality, low cost prior-owned clothing and furniture for your children. Unlike garage sales where you feel pressured to haggle about prices, all articles at Kid's Market and Mom are clearly marked with the consignee's desired sale price. No hassles - no unknowns. And Kid's Market and Mom has become synonymous with top quality merchandise. All items received from consignee's are reviewed by the trained staff and any article not meeting the high standards set by the management of Kid's Market and Mom is held back from sale to be later donated to local charities."

The sale doors open for contributors (I know, I know, I should have told you all this earlier!) on February 28th.

For the general public you can begin shopping on March 3rd and shop through March 8th.

Shoppers on March 3rds 8am - 8pm shopping date must follow specific instructions of "No strollers, diaper bags or large purses allowed while shopping. Fanny packs are acceptable."

On March 4th-8th doors will be open from 9am-6pm. On the 7th you can get a 25% discount and on the 8th a 50% discount. Let me advise you to not wait until those days to shop as much of the coveted items will be gone. (I am sure they will be in my home as my wife will have done her shopping by then.)
