Blog: being cheap

garbage day

Tuesday, December 30, 2008

I can't wait til wednesday our local garbage day, after xmas is the best time to find treasures in the garbage..it seems this is the time people start doing their early spring cleaning..i started spring cleaning yesterday but my items don't make it to the trash heap..i keep them til the summer and have a yard sale..the land lord lets you have two yard sales a year and he pays for the permit..so it doesnt cost any thing to set up and its a great way to earn a little extra money.. actually most of the garbage i pick thru out the year ends up in that garage sale or ends up on ebay..last year i was making $50.00 to $100.00 a week at a local flea market on the weekends selling the goodies from the garbage that i had been picking..i like to refer to it as recycling less in the landfills i suppose..

i guess i am an odd ball i have been this way all my life..cheap i was happy to find this site..have picked up a few good ideas on here for saving money..my boyfriend is like me cheap to and he never went to a yard sale before he met me and he sure never picked trash before but now he brings over all kinds of things he finds by his house in the trash..its great that he has a truck also..recently he brought over a nice wood dresser i put it in my bed room..spring time is nice for finding decent furniture..i will be happy when the cold weather is over and i can get out and go to yard sales and picking..
