Poor Stella. That moving sale was hard work! |
Sunday I
priced and organized items for our big moving sale. I sold our dining room set on
Craigslist. I listed several more items
for sale on Craigslist. I had a huge
pile of empty bins and boxes in our family room.
I used
up some frozen ground pork and ground beef to make a nice big meatloaf and
invited friends over for dinner.
Everything I served came from the pantry or freezer. The larder is now starting to look pretty
bare.
I sold
my bedroom set, the bunk beds, a friend’s dining room set for her (while I was
at it), another friend’s three wheeled bicycle, and the refrigerator in the
garage. I gave my great-grandparent’s
antique bedroom set and a TV to my brother.
I
sorted, organized and set up for our big moving sale on Wednesday and Thursday. I made my tags out of stuff I already had on
hand. We put up our homemade signs on
Friday morning and also advertised our sale on Craigslist.
We sold
a lot of stuff at our sale and ended up hauling less than a truckload of stuff
to donate to the thrift store. Most of
the stuff we donated was clothing that I didn’t even try to sell. I was really pleased with how well we did.
While
we were at the thrift store dropping off our donations we found a Petmate carrier
there for sale. It looked brand new and
was priced at a third of what they sell for at the store. Since we are in need of one we grabbed it
up. I was really excited about that
purchase.
The
only grocery shopping I did last week was to pick up:
·
two
loaves of bread on sale for 97¢ each
·
two
packages of hot dog buns on sale for 89¢ each
·
two
packages of hotdogs on sale for 99¢ each
·
two
bags of potato chips on sale for 99¢ each
·
and
four bananas on sale for 39¢ a pound
At our moving
sale on Saturday I was able to serve eight of us lunch for less than $6.00
thanks to the items I got on sale. We
all agreed it had been a long time since we’d had a hotdog and it sure tasted
good.
Saturday
I packed up the majority of our kitchen, my bedroom and our bathrooms leaving
out only the items we needed to use. All
the bins and boxes I used I already had on hand.
Our chickens
blessed us with 19 eggs last week!
Well done! :) Wow.. your chickens were generous last week!
