After three years, we are trotting out our goods at vastly marked down prices. I reaped thirty-seven dollars and seventy-five cents.

This is not a sale at my yard. I would have done things differently: computer printed signs, tables, wider distribution of signs and publication (little nickel, newspaper -- bring in the non-computer folk).

I may send things to another yard sale happening next weekend. Or I might sell items on craigslist or eBay or amazon.com. They are mostly books. Lots of my CDs went, which is good. I had feared that my tastes were too wacky/extreme/dated. Nobody has purchased my Chaplin stuff. :-(
or is it C|:-=X?

Bought Barilla pasta at a dollar a pound, saving $4.75 at the store.

Gas bill: $19.06 for the month. YEAH! Consumption down by a third from last year. YEAH!

I want to adopt the pantry challenge -- we have not bought meat in two weeks! We have beans, rice, grains, and fresh vegetables.

Checked my net worth. Zillow's decreased the value of my home by $5K but big deal.

My child's birthday is one week after the 2.9% APR scooter promotion ends. I can't deny him a birthday, but I can postpone a party.

How often do you slough your possessions/have yard sales?

After this concludes, if I don't get an e-mail for the address/date and time of the next sale, I may trade my books in for credit at a book reseller.
