From our Tip Sheet (everyone will be mailed a tip sheet before their scheduled resale tour)

Maybe it’s the anticipation of being on a 45-foot motor coach bus, but our resale queens seem to be more thirsty than ever. Not sure of the science behind this, however, that is why we encourage our Resale Queens👑 to *bring a cup or a bottle of water, coffee, or wine, as long as it has a lid on it with them on the bus. We just want to be careful of spills.

That way if we are stuck in traffic or you just want to wet your whistle, you will have something to drink until we get to our 1st resale destination. Some of us even bring a package of crackers or a snack in our purses.👜*from our Tip Sheet provided to each bus patron.

BEST TIP EVER (BRING SOMETHING LARGE to store your goodies and please place your name on it (see photos above).- This tip is a MUST!

Bring a large reused shopping bag, a plastic tub, or even a suitcase with your name on it. After each stop, just put your purchase in the bag, case, or tub you brought with you, and at the end of our “SHOP TIL YOU RESALE DROP” tour, you can grab and go to your car so much faster. Makes it so much easier at the end of our resale tour for you and your resale gals.
