Go early. Go sans children. Be willing to be pushy. Bring a stroller or wagon or something to carry all your loot around with you.  I have found absolutely fantastic stuff at these sales many, many times for killer prices but they get crazy with all the people...so just prepare yourself!  |

They have a link so you can become a fan on Facebook--supposedly that gets you something, but I haven't dug around on their Facebook page yet.

Can you really get in early? I found the link on Facebook, but it said nothing about getting in early. More details, please!!!!

I think the Facebook deal is free admission--saw something pop up about that last week, but need to look again to be sure. I need to get in touch with my HS friends who is working the sale and see what the deal is--early would be nice!

Members get in 2 hours earlier and can bring one guest. So search out moms with twins and bribe them  And Kristi, if you bring proof you have twins you can actually join the group that day. It used to be $30 an year membership, but I don't know what it is now. Check their website for details. It is a HUGE money saver when you are buying 2 of everything. |

So, I joined MOMS for $30. I guess that the sale will start for MOMS at 9:00, if you are NOT selling and 8:00 if you are selling. It opens to the general public at 10:30. Hope to see you all there!

So would I be crazy to go to this with an 11 month old, no husband (skiing tomorrow) and morning sickness? I'm thinking I should probably skip it this year.

Kristi, thanks for the offer! I remembered it wasn't in the Springs and I had two appts that afternoon, so I wasn't able to make it. I hope you got some good stuff!
