Selling the Freebies

Still working on out garage sale. Some may ask what to sell. I say... what not to sell! If you are a couponer, here is your time to shine. My husband likes the Gillette antiperspirent, but is allergic to thier body wash. Usually in the fall I can fined coupons that will let me buy a body wash and get a deoderant free or vice versa. Leaving a BOGO at the store is like leaving money. I get them even though he can't use them. Since you got it for free you can sell it at half price and still turn a profit. Sometimes if you are a savey couponer you can do the same for disposable razors. anything you get for free you can sell. I happened across a great deal on household cleaners, as in free. I really only use vinegar, but I still snatched them up. I gave some of them to our church to donate to the local food bank. I saved some for care packages and the rest I'll sell. All 100% profit. sometimes you may turn your nose up at a free item, because you won't use it, but I would be willing to bet someone you know will. What about food items? I have plenty of friends that sell down thier stockpile when it gets too large and looks as if somethings may expire. I, myself don't let my stockpile get that large. that being said, YES you can sell food items. We are actually letting the girls have a "lemonade" stand. They are selling water, soda and powerade, most of which I got for free. We don't drink a lot of soda, but when it is free I snatch it up. We will then have it anytime we are asked to bring something to a potluck, or any function like that. We are also making cookies for the girls to sell. People love buying baked goods from children, from grownups...not so much. The only things I personally won't sell are used underthings and shoes with holes. Even ratty clothes can be sold. You can cut them up, bag them and sell them as a bag of rags. Also, cut them into squares and sell them a package of quilt squares. What about crayons? If you are like me you have millions of broken crayons. Here is what you do....Teach your children a little science and craftyness and melt them together and make new ones. Then package them and sell them. The main moral is, just because it is your trash, it can be turned into someone elses treasure. Next time....how do I get free stuff?
