Children grow up fast, despite science's best attempts to weigh them down with apple-filled backpacks and bronze shoes. Accommodate growing kids with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of new and used kids' clothing, furniture, toys, and accessories at Monica's Kids Consignment in McDonough.

Monica's Kids Consignment stocks a labyrinth of racks and shelves with wallet-friendly selections of new and gently used merchandise. New items arrive each day, adding variety to the rotating supply of shorts ($2.95+), shirts ($1.95+), and child-sized disguises. Parents can keep their pint-sized passengers secure with car seats, and older children may enjoy practicing independence outside on swings, slides, and blow-up bounce toys ($10–$100). In addition to new and gently used children's clothing, the consignment shop carries specialty handmade items including hair bows ($1–$8), hats ($3.99+), and hand-painted plaques ($30). Parents may also opt to have their children's clothes embroidered or monogrammed ($5.99+) to prevent them from trading roles with identical third cousins.
