Among the challenges of back-to-school season: Buying fall and winter clothes, shoes and sports gear for kids who grew over the summer. To make that a bit easier, Pittsburgh-area families can check out some of the upcoming consignment sales.<\/p>\n
At these events, families can buy and sell gently used items for everyone from babies to teenagers. Besides saving families money on purchases and helping them earn by selling things their kids no longer need, these events also keep clothing and plastics out of local landfills.<\/p>\n
