How to find a living room set for $40


I went to Goodwill yesterday . Just to browse . I found a couch , love seat & chairs . For under $50 . And in good condition . I only have to shampoo them . 

Get workout clothes for a dollar a piece


I bought 2 pairs of yoga pants at Goodwill . They had a red tag sale that means it was $1.00 a piece . 

How I made a thank you gift for $1.66

My vehicle died last week. The alternator & battery gave out . Luckily I wasn't stranded in the middle of no where . But had to get rides to work & home . I made homemade donuts for everyone that helped me .

Garage sale secrets to have success


Hold a theme - moving sale or outdoor gear sale

Schedule it right - make sure you are not one of 100 in town unless you are attending a town wide sale .

Team up- with others or town wide sales 

Advertise- FB, Craigslist , EBAY classifieds, garage sale hunter , and classic newspaper 

Be prepared- put stuff out that people might want or need .

Organize it - make it look like a store , price accordingly 

Get comfortable - get a chair , be friendly to people 

Be safe- don't let people in your home for either to use the bathroom or anything else . And lock up your money in a box or have someone attending it .
