OK, I’ve picked a date for the yard sale… May 24, 2008… one month from today (well yesterday by the time this actually got posted!). I am going to be doing “countdown” posts for the whole month and everyday I am going to try to share “something” that I’ve done in preparation for the yard sale.
I have been planning the yard sale, with no date in mind, for a while now, so some things have been done. I actually have quite a bit already set aside and even a lot of that priced!! But it is not enough! I want to get rid of some things that I don’t have a need for (isn’t that called clutter?), I need to do more pricing, and I need to do other things to prep for the yard sale.
I am starting the countdown by looking around the blogosphere to see what the word is on yard sales.
Niki @ Free 2 Be Frugal has written a 4 part series on holding a yard sale, so I think that’s a great place to start! Thanks, Niki!!
