Shopping Tips during Chestermere’s Mom 2 Mom Sale this Saturday

April 6, 2017
Chestermere's Mom 2 Mom Sale and Trade Show happens April 8, 2017 at the Chestermere Recreation Centre

Don't forget to check out the Summer Camp & Recreation Expo happening at the same time in the MPP Room!

What can you expect at the Mom 2 Mom Sale?
AMAZING deals on maternity clothes, kids’ clothes, shoes, books, toys, videos/DVDs, baby equipment and accessories, strollers, swings, high chairs, and more.
  1. Check items very carefully before purchasing, because all sales are final.
  2. For clothing items, make sure that buttons aren’t missing, zippers work, and there are no hidden rips or stains. For shoes, bring a current pair to measure against not only size but also width, as different manufacturers can fit very differently.
  3. Arrive early for best pick of product; although the sale begins at 10:00am, it is not unusual for people to line up well before the doors open. Grab a friend and a cup of coffee! The lineup is indoors so come early and take a load off. If you’re looking for something specific and get there late, chances are it will have been grabbed before you even get a chance to see it! 
  4. Looking for bargains galore? Come after 1:00pm as many exhibitors slash their prices in 1/2 or are at least willing to bargain more so than within the first few hours. Often, sellers that are firm in their pricing at the beginning of the event are more than willing to consider offers as the event is almost done.
  5. Children and strollers are allowed at the sale, but due to the crowds, it can be difficult to maneuver a stroller. While you might love to shop, browse and spend time visiting each table, the little ones… not so much. 
  6. Bring tons of small change (some vendors do not accept bills over $20), reusable bags and an empty trunk and/or back seat.
  7. Wear comfortable shoes and dress in layers. You’d be surprised how warm it can get due to the sheer volume of people.
