This is one of those times that using what you have to make money and to save money!
I noticed on Friday night that the neighbor had placed out multiple signs for a yard sale! As a family we often pack boxes and bags full of old clothing or things that need to be sold and stick in my building for a future yard sale. We talked about it and decided to try and see what happened. I honestly spent 30 minutes Friday night gathering some of the things I knew I wanted to get rid of in piles.
Bright and early this morning we started (6am). By 7:15 we had everything out for purchased. We ended up sitting out to around 1pm before cleaning up. Matt purchased breakfast for us and we also got pizza for lunch and dinner. We used money from the yard sale to purchase both of these.
We ended up making $150 from clothing and toys and other things we did not need or use. After food this was actually $75.
The additional benefit was that we loaded most of the leftovers up and donated! This will be used as a tax deduction! And most importantly, I moved things out of the house! More room and less clutter!
