18 Jul Housing Works Warehouse Sale – How to Prepare
Last week I told you guys that the awesomeness known as the Housing Works “Buy the Bag” warehouse sale is returning. For $25, you get a bag full of clothing. This sale is only held a few times a year, so I can’t tell you how excited I am for it to finally return this Saturday, 7/23. But because I love you guys so much, I want you to be as prepared as possible if it’s your first time attending.
It can be a mad house in there. Though it’s located in a really spacious warehouse, it gets crowded, overheated and a few people can be a bit pushy. No matter what, remain calm and keep an eagle eye out for a thrifted treasure.
Check out the quick video below {it’s less than five minutes} on a few tips to keep in mind if you plan to attend the sale or any major warehouse sale like it.

Posted at 19:55h, 19 JulyThanks for letting us know about groupon. Was on the fence about going but $10 is SOOOO worth the chance of finding something great.
Question: Will there be shoes and can we stuff those in the bag as well?
