Consignment shopping is hotter than ever. Its especially practical, too &8212; after all, when the budget is tight, you have to rein in somewhere, but you still need the perfect pair of white jeans. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

How it works. In consignment, buyers get the benefit of finding great stuff at steeply discounted prices, while sellers, or consigners, can make a small profit off their cast-off duds. Make an appointment to bring in your items, and after setting a price, Myerow splits the sale 50-50 with a consigner. She also sells clothes for charity: Designer Consigner will give back a portion of sales of items donated by charities like Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Rockland.

Nothing lasts forever. Unlike a department store or retail boutique, most things are one-of-a-kind, so if you want it, you should buy it. Now. Chances are, the next time you stop in, it will be gone.

Handbags are the best buys. Shop consigners and youll never pay retail for a great bag again. Why? If you can live with a scrape, or a scratch, you can tote around a like-new Juicy Couture tote or one-of-a-kind Mary Frances beaded purse for 70 percent less than youd pay retail.

Its in the jeans. Whether Levis or Diesel, vintage denims are always a best seller, but since theyre often altered, try them on to make sure of the fit. If theyre short, check the hems &8212; they may have been taken up.

Even consignment shops have sales. Just because everything is steeply discounted, doesnt mean no sales. Myerow has even been known to bargain.

Penny Pincher: Cartier and Rolex watches share space with like-new handbags and shoes, racks of what seem to be barely worn clothes, special occasion and resort wear, along with an eclectic mix of antique, contemporary and decorative home furnishings. Plus, the jewelry department offers a bulous assortment of new and estate pieces. 254 Route 117 By Pass, Bedford Hills, 914-241-2134.
