I can't be alone in loving the NCT nearly new sales!!


I went to my first NCT nearly new sale today and am more than impressed. I was told that they were definitely worth a look, and I must say I agree!!

I spent £100, but I managed to get a Graco Quattro Travel Deluxe for £40 and it looks like it has hardly been used! The carrycot with it is definitely brand spanking new. I can't believe I got such a bargain.

I also got a ton of clothes, so many of which were still with tags. And sadly I had to buy the big cuddly Scooby Doo. It is for the baby, honest!!

Everyone need to go!!

If you click on there, select nearly new sales, and enter your postcode. It will then list all the ones upcoming. I found out from my Sis In Law who goes to the ones in Suffolk. I must say, worth becoming a member to do it - I signed up in the queue this morning to pay £9 per quarter so I could get in earlier!! Best picks then!

there are nns (nearly new sales) near us every weekend, most items are 20p which i find amazingly unbelievable.
the nct sales are further up north from us, i do keep checking the website for updates on closer ones but there arent any coming up.
www.netmums.co.uk advertise nns in your area when you join their website and its free.
we went to one today in pokesdown which was awesome, we were 30 mins late but still got lots of bargains.
managed to pick up an avent philips bath and room thermometer for £1. (£15 rrp)
an elc sand pit with lid its a red lady bird £8 roughly (£30+ rrp)
a bag of toys all from boots and manhatten toys, fisher price etc all for £10
TJ spotted a tombliboo eee from in the night garden, the lady said... i'll take 50p. we were well impressed.
i even managed to pick up some nice books for hubby and a miffy plush for me.
there is another one on saturday... CANT WAIT! xxx i've marked it into our calendar. tee hee. x

i think my husband is getting ratty with me because nns have become part of our weekly routine.
we must have been to over 12 this year, bless him for putting up with my obsessive bargain hunting.
i sell at them too, then the money i make at them, i then use to buy more stuff for our daughter and our bump at the next nns.
just to make sure poor hubster doesnt have to spend his hard earned money... to keep him sweet hahahahaa. xx
