About JBF

St. Louis Metro East

Here in the St. Louis Metro East, JBF helps families navigate the never-ending cycle of kids outgrowing clothes, toys, shoes, and gear without breaking the family budget.

I’m Tiffany Taylor, owner of Just Between Friends St. Louis Metro East. I knew our community needed a better way for families to earn extra money and save on everything their kids need. That’s why I brought JBF to the Metro East in 2019.

Like many parents, I watched closets, toy rooms, and storage bins fill up with items my family no longer needed. I loved the idea of giving those items a second life while helping another family save money. What started as a practical solution quickly became a passion for helping local families make the most of what they already have.

Today, my team and I help families turn outgrown items into extra cash and find amazing deals on the next sizes and stages their children need.

For me, JBF is about more than just saving and earning money. It’s about helping families say yes to dance lessons, sports teams, family vacations, and special experiences. It’s about creating space at home, putting money back in your pocket, and making family life a little easier

This season I was able to sell, buy, and help the team for the first time. It was a great experience from drop off until the end of the sale. Having the chance to shop early for my bigger items and helping other families by selling my items at great prices made being a seller absolutely worth it!

As someone who has done many a yard sales, the difference with the JBF sale is you provide the nice items (and price/package based on the tips they suggest) and they market to the masses. You essentially have 1,000s of people coming specially looking for kids items! Whereas a yard sale you’re just hoping someone might come who might be interested in kids items! Both are a lot of work, but JBF is significantly more profitable (and fun)!!
