Frugal Friday With Marsha -- Church Rummage Sale Finds

I went to a quilt retreat last Friday and Saturday that ended up being real frugal since she changed the place to host and then the retreat was free!!  Because of being there, I missed putting out my Frugal Friday post last week.

In my previous post I wrote about the few things I had bought early from that church rummage sale.  We went back on Saturday for the $2 a sack sale.  I ended up with the items in the picture in 2 sacks, so just $4.

I got several pieces of clothing and socks for Amelia, a few pieces of clothing for myself, a couple of t-shirts to cut up for rugs and rags, misc dishes, hair bands, and even several little things that are now in my gift stash tote.

It's another busy Friday with it being my mom's payday, but I can't leave you without at least a few coupons to print, freebies to send for and sweepstakes to enter!  Good Luck!!

Checking In

I took Jasmine off to camp this afternoon.  I have felt this sad emptiness before even leaving the camp. It's going to be a long week for me with her gone.

I have been so incredibly busy this past couple of week.  Tomorrow is no different.  I'm going to be hanging out with my mom most of the day as she has 2 dr. appts. tomorrow and some shopping to do.

I have 100's (literally) of photos and videos that need to be shared on gather...not to mention the regular posts that I do there.
I did get in a post that covers my last 2 Walgreen's shopping trips.  I hope you will check it out.  Walgreen's Shopping 6/10/10 and 6/13/10

Speaking of Walgreen's....I went into my blog dashboard this morning to quickly scan the Walgreen's deal posts and discovered new ways to fix up our blog.  I ended up messing with that.  What do you think about the looks of my blog now?  I am really liking it!

We had our annual rummage sale at church yesterday.  I got some pretty good deals, although most of what I bought were more wants than needs.  I did get a wool blanket for $1 that I need for the inside of one of my quilts.

I'm going to do my best to get back to posting regularly, meaning daily to my blog.

I'm getting closer to cashout points with sidetick.com  and I've been getting more photos put in to redgage.com.  I haven't done anything on squidoo lately so need to get to that.

We are going through some heavy thunderstorms right now.  Flood warnings.  We seen lots of flooded fields while taking Jasmine to camp.  The camp suffered from the last flood our town had.  Just another worry for me while she is gone.  I am just seeing on the news about flooding in Arkansas.

Guess I better quit aimlessly blabbing here and decide if I am going to continue trying to earn some money this evening or if I am going to just head on to bed.

Have a great night,

 

Saturday June 13

Good Morning!
Jasmine and I got up early and headed to church to help set out the rummage sale items. We found some pretty cool things to buy cheap too. I got plenty of craft supplies.

We are heading out now to my great Aunts. Today is her 89th birthday. She's not seen baby Jacob yet. How many of us are going?.....10 of us! After we visit there we will go back to the church and help pack up what doesn't get sold. They will take it to the Goodwill store, but it's also then up for grabs to take what we want since they are just giving it away. I don't think I need to take anything, but who knows.

I didn't learn my lesson last time for not keeping up with my homeschoolbuy auctions. I let 42 auctions lapse that I had to relist. That took me about 4 hours yesterday but it's done! I have a weekly card in my card file to update the auctions there, but haven't kept up with my box for about a month now. You can check out the books I have for sale if you would like Marsha's HomeschoolBuy Items

Off we go! Have a great Saturday!
