At Here We Grow Again, parents from across Central Indiana bring gently used kids' clothes, toys, furniture and more to sell at huge discounts over four days. As Hendricks County's original consignment sale and the largest in the Indianapolis area, it features more than 126,000 items spread across two massive rooms offering a shopping mecca without paying full retail prices.

3. Make a List and Have a Plan 

So...much...STUFF to choose from at the Here We Grow Again Consignment Sale!

With 126,000 items available, the sale can feel overwhelming, even with its organization. Without a list or plan, you might end up with nice-to-have items rather than necessities. Prioritize your needs like a stroller or high chair, and set a budget beforehand to stay on track. Make a list, stick to your plan, and manage your spending to make the most of the sale.

4. Leave the Kids at Home

The Here We Grow Again Consignment Sale is bustling with shoppers, their friends, and their families. Navigating with strollers can be challenging, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed in the crowd, especially with active children. Given the time it takes to browse through such a vast selection, leaving impatient family members at home can ensure a more enjoyable shopping experience.
