Being a broke couponer does things to you. I'm on my last few days of maternity leave. I'm on my last few dimes and I thought I should do something to cheer myself up.
So I had a garage sale. Now, I know you are probably asking yourself how the HELL a garage sale cheered me up...but I decided to give myself a mission. Any money I made from the garage sale (aside from the money my son is earning for selling his old toys because he is saving for a Transformer) would then be used to coupon and I would see what I could do with it. I hung signs around my neighbourhood with the kids and the dog, but alas...I only made $4. My spirits were crushed a bit, but I was not detered.
I already had my price match flyers ready, my coupons pulled and my plan in action. I was tired but eager to come out of this with a smile on my face and tons of new products!
Here is what I was able to get:
3 bottles of Dove Men + Care Body Washes (with bonus shampoos on two bottles and a deodorant on one)
3 bottles of Dove Go Fresh Body Washes
2 cans of Campbells Chicken Noodle Soup
2 cans of Campbells Vegetable soup
2 bottles of Dawn liquid dish soap
1 Aveeno Shampoo (with bonus hair product)
1 Aveeno Conditioner
3 trial size bottles St. Ives lotion
1 package Baby Wipes
Total cost ..........drum roll please...........$3.61
SAY WHAAAAAAAT?!?!
I cannot believe what I can turn change into these days. Although my first day of Operation: Garage Sale was a big fat let down, the end result was GREAT! I hope tomorrow is an even bigger day! Maybe I will make $5!!!! Or maybe even $10!!! :)
