Top tips from experienced Nearly New Sale shoppers
Come prepared!
Prioritise the things you need to get. Know your baby and child’s size and how it relates to the season’s clothes.
Remember your NCT membership details
NCT members get an early start to their shopping at all sales so don’t leave your membership number at home! Check out your local NCT Nearly New Sale for members’ opening times.
Bring cash
Lots of sales now use card machines to take payments, but it’s always worth bringing cash just in case, especially for cake and tea. Check the Nearly New Sale in your area to see what the payment options are.
All money raised will help fund local parent activities, our national helplines, other essential services and campaigns.
