Planning for our yard sale

October 4th, 2014 at 11:45 am

Next Saturday our family will be having a yard sale, the kids are very excited. We usually just donate our unwanted items, but the kids enjoy earning money and were excited about the idea of a yard sale.

We have been setting aside items we don't want all summer. This weekend we will go through the attic and decide what will stay and what will go. We don't have tons of stuff, we are very good about decluttering throughout the year, but we will give it a go anyway. I will schedule a donation pick up for that afternoon to take away any thing that was not sold. This will free up quite a bit of room in the basement, where we are storing all of the goods right now.

As for this weekend, a few easy errands this afternoon, and date night that we are both really looking forward to! Tomorrow is an October Fest with the family. It is free entrance but of course you have to pay for food and rides. I don't do rides but I do enjoy the German food! These purchases will come out of my cash allowance.

    It is a good experience for kids. It's a bit more tangible for them to see their items transferred to someone else with a cash return. Good plan for donating right after the sale.

    Do you use a criteria to decide what to keep/store and what to sell or donate?

    What a good experience for the kids. Hope it turns out great. It should help them realize that one has to put forth some effort for making money. Like the idea of donating after the sale so you don't have to store the stuff.
