‘Back on the Rack’: How you can save and earn a little extra cash

ROANOKE, Va. – ‘Back on the Rack’ is a week-long pop-up consignment shopping event at Tanglewood Mall. It kicked off during the tax-free weekend, but goes until Saturday, Aug. 14.

The point is for local families to save on items they need and want while also giving them an opportunity to make money. You can find anything from home décor, books, toys and clothing for babies, kids, men and women at a good price.

Monday, Aug. 9 is known as Restock Monday. That means if you’ve cleaned out your garage or closet recently, you can bring your items to sell for the rest of the week.

“They can still register as a seller, still bring items today they just need to go to our website, contact me and we can get them all set up. I’m even pricing big items for people if they find they have a large item at home and they’re not sure how to price it and how to prepare it. then I’m happy to do that for folks,” said owner Ginny Morgan.
