Money Making Garage/Yard Sales.

I wanted to post how I was doing with the last 2 weeks of yard sale shopping!
I find that garage sale shopping can be trickier than shopping 99 cent day for clothes at my thrift store. Mainly because I end up coming home with so much more stuff to keep! Proof of it can be seen here and here.
So this year I am trying to keep careful track of my spending and my selling. Well, I do that anyway but I’m doing it separate for yard sales so I can make sure I’m still making money, not just spending it!
The first weekend (4/30) I spent $16.20 on items. Here is what I got to resell and how I’m doing so far.
The next week I spent $14.50 and that post is here.

Ok, that is the profit I made off what I spent that I sold. Yay!
On everything (personal, stuff for kids and household) I spent about $30 during those 2 weeks. I’m happy that I still came out with almost $40 profit so far and I get to keep a lot of the stuff.
I still have a breast pump that I have someone interested in from Craigslist for $60.
Now I can garage sell with peace that I am making money and not just adding junk to my house! LOL! Well, at least making money while adding stuff to my house! Ha ha!
