Re: Earning/Saving Extra Money ~~ March ~~ Think Spring!!
I realized quite recently that our garage sale is in exactly 2 months. Yikes! I have so much stuff to price and get organized. It's going to be a great sale!
My goal for this weekend is to pull out our old Nintendo and test one of the games I want to sell. It's a super rare one. Completeds on ebay were in the $600-$800 range. I've seen higher and lower, so I need to time the listing just right. Otherwise, just a few ebay sales totally less than $100. I also sold a bunch of Lincoln logs for $20. I should keep a better spreadsheet like Kory and Lenses....maybe that should be my goal for this month.

Re: Earning/Saving Extra Money ~~ March ~~ Think Spring!!
New and love the idea!
Saving Goals: 1. Buy a new sewing machine through winnings on swagbucks! I think I just need another $100 in gc and I am there! Hope to earn about $50 swagging ![]() 2. Saving for a new dining room table. Hope to sell a few baby items this month! 3. Keep working on my Etsy Shop! I am pleased with how it is moving along. Have sold a few things and getting lots of views. Just purchased new material to add more items so hope to have that happen by the end of this month! |

Re: Earning/Saving Extra Money ~~ March ~~ Think Spring!!
I'm pleased with how I did last month but I'm not sure what else I have left to sell this month. I am doing a large kids consignment sale and I'm hoping to make quite a bit there. I am not sure if I should include that in my goal though since I have never sold at this sale before and I have no idea how it is going to go. My goals for this month will be:
1. Sell $200 (not including kids consignment sale) 2. Use swagbucks more and earn $25 in amazon gift cards Does anyone have any ideas on making extra cash without selling? I don't have much more to sell and I already use swagbucks (although, could put more effort in).

I have a LOT of stuff to sell yet, so the next step isn't on my immediate radar, but I'd love to hear some ideas from others. One thing that I do that's not selling is skim $10 off the checking account every time I use my debit card. Obviously, there are limits to this, but $10 here and there doesn't hurt too much. ![]()

![]() I also use ebates and mypoints for online shopping (just typical stuff I buy anyway). My biggest problem is I am always forgetting to use them, but ebates has a icon that downloads to your computer and it automatically links anytime you shop, so now I don't have to remember ![]() I also am a big coin saver and cash out once a year at Coin Star for a gift card. Those are all I can think of off the top of my head! |

I have a friend who rounds down in her check register when paying bills. So let's say her balance after paying a bill is $250.44, she will round it down to $250. She's says she doesn't save a ton but every so often she will transfer whatever the "overage" is to her savings. I thought that was a great idea but I think it would drive me nuts to not have the amounts matching from my register and what the bank says. Maybe I will give it a shot for this month though.

Re: Earning/Saving Extra Money ~~ March ~~ Think Spring!!
A quick posting here just to remind myself to update here. I am trying to save/earn money but have been a bit crazy lately with my son admitted to the hospital last month. I am swagging right now and skimming CL, I will be back in a little bit.

![]() And mypoints is a site I found years ago. Basically sign up with your junk email and they send you "offers" Use your junk because I get about 20-30 a week (more around the holidays) You don't have to do anything with the offers, just click through and you earn "points" for checking out the website. And, I get points shopping online too. I flip between mypoints and ebates to see who is offering the best deal with cashback/points ![]() |

My ebay auctions just ended last night and my profit is $167 from cloth diapers and a pair of DS shoes. YAY. I'm so excited! I've got a lot of wool longies to sell. I never got into them and mainly used pocket diapers. I think they would sell better on FSOT here instead of ebay. What do y'all think?
DH and I talked about having a yard sale next Saturday. My parents would come over too and sell their stuff also. I haven't really thought of a goal since I'm just getting into this. I do want to stop by Goodwill today on the way to my IL's house for anything that would be an easy sell on ebay.
