I am planning on having a “real” yard sale this Saturday. What I mean by “real” is that I am actually preparing my items (cleaning, pricing) and planning on advertising via a Central Road sign and Craigslist. Last year I had an impromptu yard sale that yielded me about $20! I didn’t advertise at all and it only lasted 2 hours… most of the remaining items were sent to Goodwill and Vineyard Community Church as usual. I priced things so low at this sale that one shopper gave me the advice that I priced them too low! I’m not accustomed to selling my things. Usually we give away all our unwanted items throughout the year (cause honestly, it’s easier to do).  I still pass on most of our boy clothing, coats, and other items I know friends and family can use.  So it’s still strange for me to think about charging anything for our stuff. But, now that we’re in more of a financial pinch these days, I’m feeling less guilty about trying to make (a tad bit of) money in an effort to help our family funds and I’m actually getting excited about it!
