Being a mom means constantly managing outgrown clothes, unused toys, and baby gear your little ones no longer need. Instead of letting them pile up, why not turn that clutter into extra cash? Just Between Friends (JBF) is back in Rockford from May 15-17, offering moms an easy way to consign gently used children’s items while also snagging incredible deals on things their kids need now!
What is Just Between Friends?
JBF is a children’s consignment event where families can shop for high-quality, gently used items at unbeatable prices—saving 50-90% on clothing, shoes, toys, books, baby gear, and more! It’s the perfect chance to stock up on budget-friendly essentials for the upcoming warmer months. New owner, Kristen Parent, has run the Just Between Friends Dane County sales since 2019 and is excited to bring new life into the JBF Rockford experience! She says, “Building on six years of success with JBF Dane County, Wisconsin, I’m thrilled to bring this incredible opportunity to Rockford families. This event is more than just a sale—it’s a community resource that helps parents save money and earn cash while promoting sustainability.”
Make Money by Consigning!
Selling at JBF is a fantastic way to earn extra income while decluttering your home. Moms who consign can set their own prices, tag items online, and drop them off before the sale—JBF handles the rest! The average consignor makes $350 per season! You can even track your sales in real time online. Forget the hassle of hosting a yard sale or trying to sell items one by one on social media. With JBF, you can sell all your items in one place at one time. For more information on selling including a seller guide and registration, check out their website here.
