Hello again, savvy savers! I hope your day was as productive as it was peaceful! So, today I challenged you all to create a Craigslist account, and sell your items laying around your house.
My Selling Goals Were:
- I am going to list 10 household items; bedding sets, lamps, chair, desk, book sets, and small kitchen appliances.
- I hope to make $100.00 in profit.
- All items that do not sell will be donated to charity.
- All items will be listed for one week.
How did I do today? I created my new account, photographed my items, constructed my listing, and posted my ads. All items are online and ready! Thus far I’ve had several responses, and have a pending sale for later this week, so as of right now my Craigslist selling is so far so good!
Here are today’s details:
- Overall, I set a goal to sell $100.00 on Facebook.
- I listed ten clothing items, several new with tags (NWT).
- I have also already made arrangement for pick-up, and so my items are now listed as pending pick-up (PPU).
- I made sure to set my Facebook setting to notify me of all new messages, so that I can quickly check messages on my pc, laptop, iPad, and iPhone quickly. I am a third done selling, and have thus far potentially earned $78.00!
- I feel that I am quickly going to make my selling goal!
- I also cross listed items into several other local groups, and a local vintage group, too!
As well yesterday I was also able to accomplish:
- As part of my #Choose30 Daily Challenge, I woke up at 7:25, walked my fur babies, showered, & dressed to my shoes. (Thanks, Flylady!)
- Worked on my daily Motivated Moms Planner.
- I finished a day’s worth of clerking assignments ahead of schedule!
- I cooked from my pantry for each meal.
- Read my daily devotional.
- I waked two miles.
Today I saved:
- I eat at home this evening for dinner, saving our family $6.95.
- I recycled, upcycled, and composted one bins of deluge, and saved $0.25, the cost of 1 trash bag.
- I cooked three meals from my home pantry, saving $6.81 in the process.
- My family drank water today, and saved $0.69, the cost of a 2-liter of soda.
- I also did not watch cable tv, and saved $3.68 by doing so.
Total amount I saved my family: $21.38
This months savings goal remaining: $103.10
