~We Are Doing It Again!~

Valdosta, Georgia
March 25, 2017 2:00pm CST
Hey everyone! I hope your all doing well today. =) I am doing well too. My husband and I have decided we are not going to move just yet-we are tired of doing it so we are waiting a little longer. My husband already told the landlord too that we are going to stay for a bit. Hopefully the neighbors will warm up to us with time... Anyway, whenever the warmer weather comes around my husband and I start up a little side business. I post the ads and he gets the stuff. We offer to pick up people's unwanted items and we have yard sales with the items we get. We have ton's of fun with this! We already got 2 calls today for it. =) The people have furniture, clothes and baby items they want gone! They get rid of their unwanted stuff and we make a little bit of money doing it. Win, win! Do you have anything you like doing once the weather gets warmer?

Oh that is a good way to get some quick cash. If the items need refurbishing you can do that and get even more money for them.

@LovingMyBabies I keep telling my husband that we should do that too. He loves to refurbish things and when we see a free item along the roadside I will ask him to pick it up. He refuses to do so though.

@ElusiveButterfly My husband stops to get things at the curb all the time. He has found some really nice things before! I'm sorry your husband won't do it. =(

That sounds like a good way to bring in some extra cash and if you lived closer to me I'd be able to donate some of the stuff that is clogging my garage. Guess when it's time to move you'll know so just keep the faith.

I never had any yard sales but i guess that's a good way to make some money. Seems like people are really keen to get rid of their unwanted stuffs. Even i have so many things lying in the shed which i want to get rid of i guess
