It's been a busy week! Not only was it Valentine's Day, but we celebrated this sweet girls 4th birthday with a mermaid party...

I keep trying to get my inventory UP and it keeps selling! I'm not complaining at all though. I'm excited that garage sale season is just around the corner so I know I will be listing a lot then!

I am super excited about my first 2 finds...

Pottery Barn Peter Rabbit Crib Bumper - this is no longer made. Hoping to see this gone for a decent price and quickly. I think it will but in the meantime it's taking up some serious space!

I found these boots for $6. Listed them and they sold within an hour. OUCH! It's good that they sold but I might have listed them too low at $85. But they were a size 5.5 and I know the smaller sizes sit forever. So better a decent profit than have them sitting around till fall!

Black Banana Republic Skirt

Black Gap Hutton Skirt - long skirts do so well!

H&M Divided dress

City Triangles cocktail dress

Travelsmith dress and Chico's new denim jacket

AGB Black cocktail dress - I was SO mad I picked this up thinking it was less than the $7.50 I paid for it. I was too busy with Lauren when I was paying and didn't pay attention. Hoping I can at least double my money on it.

New without tags Ann Taylor silk navy skirt - it is so gorgeous!

Thank goodness things are picking up around here! It's been a decent week of sales and the vacation fund is building back up! I managed to pick up a few cute things this week and I'm trying to get my store back up to 300 items. Whenever I get to that mark it seems to drop quickly after that (a good thing!)

My favorite finds were:

Gap White Embroidered Shirt/Cover up

Super cute J. Crew Khaki Cargo pants

Brown Ann Taylor Dress pants

Gorgeous Banana Republic Wool Dress Pants

Wool Silk Blend Banana Republic Dress Pants

Ralph Lauren blue nautical jacket

And I have yet to put this in the store, it was a cloudy overcast day here so I think I want to take a better picture. But I found this 2 pc Ann Taylor Loft suit BRAND NEW with tags! Love that. Except I got home and realized that the jacket is size 2 and the pants are a size 4. Darn it. The jacket retailed for $139.00 and the pants for $89.00. I haven't had much luck pairing mix/match sizes like this, so I might have to break this couple up and list them separately.

Would you do the same?

Vacation Fund - ZERO!

2012-02-03T09:37:00.000-08:00

So I am pretty excited! I drained the vacation fund and booked our Disneyland trip last week. I am now back to zero and everything made from here on out will cover the hotel stay on the trip (we drive there) and for meals and odds/ends in the park. It's so nice to know that this is being done with cash!

This is pretty much how every picture of our trip went last time. My little guy Greg can't but help make goofy faces. He is really thrilled to be tall enough to ride Indiana Jones this year. He missed it last time by an inch!

Lauren is tall enough to ride almost everything, with a few exceptions. So glad she can go on Soarin over California with us - that and California Screamin are my favorite rides!

Speaking of which, I am totally bribing Graham to ride on it with me. Last time I had to single ride it with some random. I think he needs to man it up at 9 years old and take the roller coaster plunge!

(Or not, we'll see. I certainly won't make him if he gets nervous and says no.)

The best part is that I won't have to cry for 2 hours in the car after dropping off Lauren at her grandparents house. It will be her first time going! I booked a lunch at Ariel's Grotto so we could meet all the princesses at once and not have to search the park for them. She LOVES the princesses!

This has been a busy year with going to garage sales every Saturday, collecting inventory for my ebay store, etc. but knowing this was the reason is the BEST feeling ever.

2012-01-31T08:24:00.000-08:00

I really needed to have some good sales this week and that didn't happen. I have been saving all year to book our Disneyland trip (My daughter's first time! I am SO excited!) and the minute I paid the sales came to a screeching halt!

I have been listing like crazy trying to get in inventory up over the 300 mark and with hardly any sales it gets a bit discouraging. Hoping things will turn around soon! Come on people - I've got Dole Whips and Mickey Ears to buy!

Here is what I have listed and what I found on my scouting trips this week!

Vintage Wilton Train Cake Mold Pan - how fun this would have been for my boys birthdays when they were younger. They LOVED trains!

Gymboree Greek Isle Style Outfit

Gymboree Freshly Picked Outfit

Gymboree Burst of Spring Outfit

Gymboree Lot of t-shirts

Gap Camel Leather Skirt

I love this Nautica denim skirt - cute!

And it's heading into prom season soon so I wanted to pick up a dress or two. This one is from David's Bridal.

I sold this one last week for $29.99

What did you find this week? Any new treasures?

This has NOT been my week! Sales have been okay but honestly, I think I got a bit sloppy and had to make a return that was TOTALLY my fault. Now I am on pins and needles waiting for the world's ugliest shoes to arrive in California. When they should have been there Friday since I mailed them Priority.

And who is the rock star seller who was too busy getting her 3 year old to stop climbing on the card display at the post office and declined tracking? OH YES...moi. Crap. Total rookie mistake and *I* am NOT a rookie!

Lets a cross a few fingers and pray that they arrive to this woman tomorrow.

Did I mention I am the first ebay purchase for her ever?

Ugh.

I did manage to find a few goodies this week. I went shopping Saturday and dove into the world of selling Pyrex! I'm hoping to get those listed this week.

Clothing wise - this is what I picked up!

Gap Denim Western Shirt

Eddie Bauer Striped Shirt

Chico's Navy Blue Long Jacket

GNW Black & White Wrap Dress

Clarks Artisian Black Loafers

RWP Wilton Armetale "Loaf of Bread" plate

Here's the latest that I've added to my Ebay Store. Every Tuesday I'm going to post a few new finds for you to see.

Please feel free to comment on your latest finds! I would love to hear about them!

American Girl pink fleece lined coat

Elie Tahari orange shirt with roll up sleeves

Laundry by Sheli Segal navy giraffe print dress

Chico's Zenergy zip front jacket
(sort of wild, huh!? This is my wild card for the week!)

CAbi (Carol Anderson by invitation) pink zip front shirt

And I can't believe I found THESE! Frye two tone vintage cowboy boots! Aren't they adorable?! If I wore a size 6 they'd be staying in my closet for sure!

Beer Rebate Forms

2012-01-14T19:55:00.000-08:00

No, no no...it's NOT what you think! I don't even drink alcohol - EVER! But that does not stop me from looking for a hot little money maker called a Beer Rebate in the grocery stores!

These are SO easy to use! There are tear off pads often located on beer displays. The company offers you $10 toward the purchase of something like, beef, chicken, paper goods, BBQ items, etc.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY THE BEER! (at least not in Utah!)

I picked up this one a few weeks ago. I purchased a roast for $14.00.

The rebate was for $10.00. All I had to do was fill out a few quick lines of info and mail the rebate slip along with my receipt for proof of purchase and I will get a rebate check for $10.00 in 4-6 weeks.

Bringing the cost of my roast down to $4.00!

Keep your eye out for these! They come out most often around holidays and three day weekends!

Swagbucks!

2011-11-12T14:09:00.000-08:00

If you haven't yet started using Swag Bucks, there's never been a bigger bonus code for those signing up! Create an account here and you'll be rewarded with 30 Swag Bucks. Then enter the code SBPAYSFORME (try typing it in instead of cut & paste) in the Swag code box during registration and you'll get an additional 80 SwagBucks!

That makes newbies start out with 110 SwagBucks!

This would be a great time to add an account for each member of your family!

{Code is valid only when entered by new members during registration and expires 11/18 at 10am MST.}

Basically, Swag Bucks is a search engine. As you search the internet, you periodically earn Swag Bucks, which you can redeem for gift cards to a variety of stores. Each year I spend my Swag Bucks on one thing and one thing ONLY: Amazon gift cards for items on my Christmas list!

$10 iTunes and Starbucks gift cards also make great gifts!
Here are a few tips for anyone new to Swagbucks!

Download the toolbar and use it consistently. Instead of using your "Favorites" to access web pages, type it in Swag Bucks. You'll also earn 1 Swag Buck everyday, just for having the toolbar installed.
Don't anticipate earning a lot in the first 2 weeks. It starts slow and that's okay! If you continue to use it to search, you will soon win Swag Bucks regularly. I search about 10-15 times each day and win 2-3 times, totaling about 20-25 SB each day.
There are tons more ways to earn! You can print coupons, take surveys and even purchase Groupons through SwagBucks- all while earning a SB bonus! Visit the "Earn" tab in the toolbar to see all the ways you can earn more.

What are you waiting for? Try it out!!

Coupon Binders

2011-10-21T13:56:00.000-07:00

So I have fallen a week or two behind with my coupon binder and was wondering if anyone was interested in seeing it?

I spent about an hour Sunday afternoon going through it and putting it back into ready to spend shape!

Now that it's all organized and pretty I thought I might post how I keep mine, categories, etc.

And how it helps me shop like this

For less than half or more of retail prices!

Garage Sale Stories Week #11

2011-10-11T21:30:00.000-07:00

Sadly enough, this might be the last week of sales here! I'll start hitting the local D.I.'s for some deals, but I'll be excited for the yard sale season to come around next spring!

This week I found...

CAbi Jungle Wrap Dress

CAbi shirt (Retails $108!)

Banana Republic Merino Wool Sweater Small, New!

Jones New York Size 8 Dress

Garage Sale Stories Week #10

2011-10-06T15:25:00.000-07:00

Here are just a few things I've found lately that I think are FABULOUS! Garage sales are winding down quickly around here and I am starting to get sad about missing out my my cheap deals!

Lavendar Gap Trenchcoat

Gap Brown Leather Pants - SOLD!

Ann Taylor Velvet Jacket - SOLD!

Cole Haan Men's Dress Shoes - SOLD!

Coldwater Creek (new with tags!) Black Velvet Dress - SOLD!

I've got them all listed in my ebay store plus a few other fun finds. I'm hoping I have one more fun Saturday to yard sale it up before people stop selling!

What's it like where you live? Are the sales still going strong or waning off?

Garage Sale Stories Weeks #8 & 9

2011-09-18T20:57:00.000-07:00

I can't believe I forgot about posting last week...I took Graham and Lauren with me this week and we managed to find a few goodies. Graham had money burning a hole in his pocket with no luck to go with it. Poor little guy.

This is what I found....

Gap Velveteen Swing Coat - $2.00

Rare Editions Holiday Dress - $1.00

Classiques Entier from Nordstrom Brown Leather coat - $1.00!!!!

I KNOW!!!

Eddie Bauer Red Jacket - $1.00

I've got them listed in my Ebay store already....and of course I took Graham to Target to buy a Bey Blade spinner since I felt so badly for him. He was a good trooper.

Lauren found a Dora mermaid doll that talks and a princess puzzle...fun fun!

What did you find?

Smith's/Kroger Case Lot Sale

2011-09-09T09:06:00.000-07:00

Lauren was my little helper yesterday at the Case Lot sale...she happily pushed around her little cart and did not run into the back of my heels once!

I had a budget to stick to. It's easy to go crazy at these sales thinking you are getting a screaming deal, when really most things are normal prices or just a little bit less. I only got the items that I have been watching and know have gone up in price over the last 6-12 months.

Sugar - $19.90 per case

Flour - $12.00 per case

Pasta Sauce - .88 cents per can

Chunky Peanut Butter - (kids hate it but it's good for recipes) - .79 cents per jar

Ham - $3.99 each

Langers Apple Juice - $10.00 per case (this used to be $1.00 each at case lots, but prices are up!)

TP - $5.49 each

Pineapple - $21.12
Diced Green Chilies - $12.00

Peaches - .79 cents per can

Ketchup - .88 cents each

Febreeze - .99 cents each

Deodorant - .49 - .99 cents each

Shampoo - .89 cents each

Some of these items were part of the P&G sale where you buy 4 items you get $4 off. Then with the coupons on top of that, they turned out to be a really great deal!

Total before sales: $362.00

After sale and with coupons I PAID: $165.37!!!

I used my $17 credit from Smith's Gold Coupons that came a few weeks ago. I also used my double points coupon to make my amount decent for when the checks come out next time.

Going to price match rice and salt at Wal-Mart this weekend, the prices were considerably lower at Reams this time.

Have you hit the case lot sales yet?

Dry Pack Order

2011-09-06T21:40:00.000-07:00

Here in Utah, the LDS Church has a place we call the Dry Pack. Every so often I try to add a few of the #10 cans from the Dry Pack Cannery to our long term food storage. I sometimes want to go crazy and order TONS - but really, I want this to be the stuff that we keep around for a loooong time in case the world ends or something. I have a few #10 can of Fruit Loops I made up for my kids should that ever happen. (I'm not kidding....)

There is a woman in our ward who has the title of "Food Storage Specialist." Is that the coolest thing or what? When the powers that be are wanting me done with Cub Scouts, I TOTALLY want the Food Storage Specialist calling. I would be awesome at it!!

This time around I ordered some dried carrots and apple slices, rice, quick oats, hot cocoa, refried beans, etc. I came home and there were all my cans neatly placed on my front porch! How easy is that?

The food in these cans can last for YEARS. Dan and I went with a few other couples to the Dry Pack on a date a few years ago. We all filled the orders for the ward and went out to dinner afterwards. It sounds nerdy, but we had a really great time!

I also picked up some pancake mix to use - hard to pass up for $3.50 per bag.

I love building my food storage without breaking the bank - I didn't spend more than $50 on this order!

Case Lot sales are starting this week around here....now is the perfect time to stock up on items like cream soups, wheat, flour, sugar, salt, canned veggies and fruit, oil, powdered milk, canned beans,tomatoes and paste, etc. I'm getting my list together for some serious shopping this week!

How is your food storage doing? Do you have a three month supply? We are looking at stocking up on both food items and non-food items as well, sometimes you need things in your home for an emergency. A good place to find things is CentrSource.

Garage Sale Stories Week #7

2011-08-30T21:19:00.000-07:00

Greg came and woke me up on Saturday morning...it was 6 am and he was all dressed and holding his little basketball wallet full of change.

"MOM! Can we go garage sale-ing?"

We did and we weren't gone very long. Because the first one we hit was GOLD! This woman was amazing...I was in OCD yard sale heaven! Everything had a perfect label on it with the price in neat handwriting. Toys were laid out in perfect rows. The prices were great and the she had AWESOME stuff!

Remember the crazy book lady from a few weeks ago? I found revenge! All of these books were .10 or .25 cents. This is half of the pile I bought. She had tons of brand new ones and I tucked them away in a bin for Christmas. I picked up 3 Wii games for free too!

Puzzles for LuLu - my 3 year old has mad puzzle skills.

She is also loves her Barbies. Picked this folding Barbie bedroom up for $5.00. It's been played with non-stop since Saturday! I also got several sets of Barbie items, $3.00 each. I put those away for Christmas as well.

Greg bought LuLu the horses with his own money - sweet brother. $1.00

He found a great MatchBox car track and this Hogwarts set complete with 3 bags of figurines. $8.00 for both sets together.

It opens up and is pretty cool. My boys are just now getting into Harry Potter so this has been a lot of fun for him. Resale value on it runs $25 -$100 depending on condition and how many extras you have. Crazy!

LuLu was sad not to go, but I was glad she wasn't along - Christmas is going to be Barbie heaven for her!

I found this Bloomingdale's black silk trench coat for $1.00! I've already have it listed in my ebay shop, we'll see what I can get for it this month.

Garage Sale season is winding down around here - but I'm going to see if I can make it out for a few more weeks! Did you find anything good this last Saturday?

Garage Sale Stories Week #6

2011-08-22T20:58:00.000-07:00

Sloooow week!

I slept in after getting strep (again!) this summer but I did manage to hit 2 after I took Lauren to get her some dance shoes....

Banana Republic Silk Turtleneck $1.00

Ann Taylor LOFT hounds tooth checked dress - $1.00

Nine & Co fall plaid skirt - new with tags! $1.00

Nicole Miller gunmetal gray satin skirt $1.00

I've already got these listed in my ebay shop...we'll see if they sell this week! I'm determined to hit it hard next week before soccer season kicks in!

How did you do?

Garage Sale Stories Week #5

2011-08-15T18:06:00.000-07:00

I couldn't wait to get out Saturday morning! Only problem was Dan ~~was forced~~ volunteered to be Greg's soccer coach and he had to go and pick up equipment. So I didn't head out until 10:30 a.m. - that's like rookie starting time! I usually leave by 7!!!

I managed to find a few goodies....can you tell it was coat week for me?

Gap Limited Edition Jean Jacket

Coldwater Creek Floral Jacket

Coldwater Creek Jacket - New with Tags!!

Banana Republic Corduroy Blazer

CAbi Tapestry Coat

I don't see CAbi too often around here - it's sold strictly at trunk shows and in the south. This coat isn't really my personal taste but they have a lot of other things I like!

What did you find at garage sales this week?

Garage Sale Stories Week #4

2011-08-07T15:42:00.000-07:00

I did it! I managed to sneak out of the house before the kids woke up and off I went! It was a great day for garage sales and I was excited to see what I could find!

Found these brand new without a box Pediped Giselle shoes. These babies retail for $40 so I was happy to pay $4 for them.

Robeez barely worn pink crib shoes.

Retail for $25-30, bought for $3.00

Baby Gap infant shoes, aren't these cute? $1.25!

I listed all three in my Ebay store the minute I got home. If they sell this month, I'll make a nice profit on them.

I hit a "leftover consignment sale." I guess all these items had been in a consignment sale and listed as "donate" for when it was over. The charity in turn was selling them for $1.00 each.

Gymboree navy skirt and green shirt outfit - $1.00. New with tags Gymboree pink patchwork shirt, $1.00. The denim skirt is so cute, it has a little hula girl on it and tropical scene, Lauren loves it. $1.00, etc. etc. etc.

Some of these are a bit large for her now, but I just put them into the bins downstairs that I have labeled with her various sizes. So I know which bin to go to for when she needs a bigger size!

Gap black velvet pants, green cords, cream sweater, Gymboree skirt and TCP shirt, all $1.00 each.

Sweater and denim skirt, $1.00 for both! NWT Justice t-shirt and Gap slip on shoes, $1.00 each!

The weird part of the day was a yard sale in a really nice neighborhood that I found. She had some fun little books and I went through and picked out 15 of them. I really won't pay more than 50 cents a book at yard sales, and I usually don't have to.

I took them up to her to get my wallet out and she said, "Let me total these up for you..."

Me: "I have 15 - will you take $5.00?"

Her: "OH NO! I could NEVER do that (click, tap, type into the calculator...)

I have no idea where she was coming up with the prices, nothing was marked and I was getting cranky standing around waiting for her math skills to show up...

"I would need at LEAST $21.75 for these."

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Um....what?

"That's a lot more than what I was hoping to pay (for BARBIE and TRANSFORMER books friends) Can you go lower?"

Not joking....her reply was "$18.50 is the lowest I can go. And you'll have to put 2 books back."

Not $18, 19 or 20...bit $18.50 folks.

I decided to walk away. I was bummed since I know my kids would've been thrilled with the books, but I hadn't spent that much all morning, I wasn't about to drop that kind of cash on used books.

I'm taking them to the library for FREE on Monday.

Anyone else have some fun (or strange) garage sale stories to share?

Garage Sale Stories Week #3

2011-08-04T16:38:00.000-07:00

A little late on this, I have to say it wasn't much of an outing. I was short on time, money and my luck was not in the cards that day! I really found very little to get excited about.

I picked up these two jackets for $1.00 each...

I've got them both listed in my ebay store. After I washed them, they came out really nice and like new looking. So we'll see what happens.

I also finally decided to list this Banana Republic coat that I bought at a yard sale early this spring for $10.00. If I can double my money on it I'll be happy.

You can check out the listings here.

So really no big news. But I am looking forward to seeing what I can find (and going without kids) this weekend.

Anyone find anything good this past week? Please tell me someone has had better luck than I have lately!

Garage Sale Stories Week #2

2011-07-17T17:26:00.000-07:00

Hard to believe a week has flown by!
We've been finishing up this round of swim lessons and I've had a sick little boy. I got off to a late start on Saturday and managed to find some great things for Lauren.

There was a huge community sale in the parking lot of a local grocery store. Some booths were great and their items were priced really well. Some thought they were actual retail shops and were looking for full price on their items. I've never understood how people can ask $5-10 for a shirt that they are selling in their front yard?

The green dress was the most expensive at $4 but I got all the rest at $2 each. They are all in like new condition and LuLu LOVES her dresses so I was pleased about that. I've washed them and put them into a bin downstairs so they are ready to go for next summer!

I paid .50 cents and $1.00 for these items. Just cute little t-shirts and play clothes. The little pink corduroy jacket looks adorable on her so we'll keep that out for preschool this fall.

Doc Martens in like new condition - $2.00! I'll sell these on ebay.

Same with these Dansko shoes I picked up for .50 cents.

I actually got to go by myself this week! What a treat! When I do that I try not to be gone too long so Dan isn't grumpy trying to get things done with the kids. I really wasn't in a super shopping mood anyhow so I only hit 10-15 sales and I was done. But I think I did pretty well for my time out!

Did you find anything fun this week?

Garage Sale Stories Week #1

2011-07-10T13:02:00.000-07:00

I'm going to start a little weekly series called Garage Sale Stories...because you know how much I love garage sales and I meet the weirdest people out doing it. (Not sure what that says about me?) Hmmmm.

I love talking about the deals I get!

I was exhausted Saturday morning and debated going at all (gasp!) when I realized that Dan would be at Scout Camp with Graham. This meant I was heading out with both Greg and Lauren. Greg is a yard sale ninja...he is quiet and quick then goes in for the kill. Lauren yells at me across the lawns and driveways holding every piece of junk up asking me to buy it for her.

We did okay - got the scouts off at 7:30 and we were on the road with our map. Greg, once again, hit the JACKPOT!

I didn't give him a dime. He bought the Bionicles for $5.00, scored a tin full of 75 rare Pokemon for $1.00 (and they threw in the sticker books!) K'Nex Motercycle for $3.00 New in Box, a Lego puzzle for .25 cents, and night vision goggles that work awesome (we all tried them out in the basement last night) for .50 cents.

I did not fare as well since I was trying to keep LuLu away from everything. I did manage to find her a pair of jeans, three dresses (2 are Gap so great for resale) and a TCP raincoat for $1.00 each.

Another pair of jeans, Gymboree sweater, and Gap khaki skirt. $1.00 each

The clothes were marked $2-3 each - but the husband of the husband/wife team got left outside with the baby while she went in to take a phone call. You could tell he was irritated and so I made my move. Cash in hand, offer ready.

Worked like a charm!

I did score a J.Crew pullover jacket and this HRC Los Angeles jacket for $1.00 each that I will list on ebay. We didn't even make it until 9 a.m. when LuLu was crying/begging to go home.

So it's still fun to take the kids now and then, I especially love that Greg is really learning that not everything needs to be brand new and full price!

Did you find any great deals this weekend?

Got Milk?

2011-06-16T09:08:00.000-07:00

This coupon is HOT HOT HOT! (or ice cold?)

For UT and ID residents, Coupons.com has .75 cents off of ANY brand of milk!

Expires 6/30 so use it quickly!

Be sure to use your zip code to see it!

Print it out (twice!) before it disappears!

Down to Nothing

2011-06-03T15:55:00.000-07:00

Sadly, the vacation fund has been drained down to $25.00 once again.

Dan and I decided that we really REALLY needed to get cabinets and counter tops for our new basement laundry room.

No doubt I'll have to work twice as hard to get those numbers back up again, but we are excited to get lots of new storage space!

I'm ordering the cabinets this weekend, they should be installed sometime next month!

Whoo-hoooo!

It's *almost* as fun as a Disneyland ride, right?!

Spic N Span

2011-06-02T16:29:00.000-07:00

There is a great coupon HERE for $1/2 Spic n Span spray cleaners.

Wal-Mart has it for 97 cents per bottle, making it 47 cents each!

Great way to stock up on cleaning supplies for cheap.

Don't forget to hit the back space and print the coupon twice!

Smith's/Kroger Trip

2011-05-23T21:49:00.000-07:00

Do you all get sick of my weirdo grocery store shopping trip pictures?

No?

Ok, good...here's the one from today!

Before sale and coupons - $303.46

Yummy Sweet Baby Ray;s BBQ Sauce for $1.00

I stocked up for some outdoor grilling this summer.

Why would I want to go back and pay $2.99 for this later?

Stock UP friends!

You don't have to be weird about it and buy the store out to get a little pantry of savings going!

Also, powered drink mixes were .99 cents - perfect for thirsty little ones at Bear Lake and Cub Scouts!

Cheap mommy lunches because I don't like mac n cheese and hot dogs.

Enough soap for 140 loads of laundry - that should last about a month around here. Seems like it anyhow!

I PAID - $157.03!!
A savings of almost 50%. Good, not great, but I'm happy with it!
