As I shared earlier this week, we made $2953 at our yard sale last weekend. Prior to that, the most we had ever made was $580. I can’t guarantee that you’ll do as well as we have, but here are some tips to help you get started.
1) Go through closets, dressers, toys, cupboards, cabinets, bookcases, etc before […]
The last few days have been kind of a big blur. As most of you loyal readers know, I’ll be moving in just a few weeks. We are downsizing considerably. I’ve been going through every drawer, dresser, cabinet, box, and space that I can to declutter and purge the things that we don’t need.

There seems to be a great debate on whether you should give your stuff to the local consignment sale to sell or have a yard sale. I thought I would try out the local consignment shop that I love to go to to see how it compared. I gave them a sling that didn’t fit […]

Since then, I’ve […]

My sister always laughs at me but secretly tries to copy me when it comes to kids clothes. She called me the other day and said I would be proud of her that she paid $6 for an outfit for her daughter. I was. My dear sister also has the advantage of a Carter’s outlet […]
I went out this morning and was glad to see that yard sale season has begun. I stopped at several yard sales. At my first stop I picked up a bunch of maternity clothes. The clothes aren’t for me. I got some for my SIL and will use the rest to sell on ebay to get […]
Have you ever been out thrifting and just couldn’t find anything? Last week, this happened to me. My husband and I were out eating breakfast alone. I was pretty excited by this because I don’t think we’ve had a breakfast date since the kids were born. Anyway, I asked my hubby if we could stop […]
