Take advantage of everyway to get a discount.
I have been very busy decluttering my house and old stale ebay inventory. I bag or box it up and put it in my car as soon as the bag or box is full. I then take it to the only thrift store in my town that gives a 20% off one item coupon for each time that you donate. I figure at least my might help me find my newest money maker!
I also take advantage of any club or card the thrift stores offer. With my blue card from Goodwill I rack up a 50% off sale about every other visit, which means I can get everything in my cart for half off, when other people in the store can't. Love that!
Welcome, I'm Melissa. Former Kindergarten teacher (12 years), now single mom to 3 amazing kids (26, 10 & 6) online seller since 1998, full time since 2014. Growing up my Granny taught me everything there is to know about shopping at garage sales (and also a little bit about having too much stuff!) Journey with me while I figure out how to balance a family and selling online as I sell off my Granny's Hoard, and sometimes add to my own!

I wish my thrifts had some deals like that!
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing with my "oops" purchases or things I get for free ( going to garage sales with my son or daughter later in the day makes me a free "magnet"- people throw the crappy toys at us in hopes they don't have to pack it up) that someone could still use but I could never sell. I always have a bag on the go and then when Salvation Army holds a sale I take a bag in and get a $10 off coupon. It's a win win....love it!
