Well, I was able to take care of all of my errands. First stop, Salvation Army. I spent about $4.50 on books and also got some other items. A soap dispenser for the bathroom I'm remodeling. It's of Pooh bear in the 100 acre woods. I know, I'm weird. A new computer keyboard for $5.99 - it's a nice one. The space key on this one sticks and drives me crazy. A very pretty new wreath for the front door. I've had my eye on one at Target for a while, but it's $30. This one was $2.99 and is still new. It's not the same one but is just as nice. A Pfaltzgraff item to sell on E-Bay. Pretty good haul today.
I went to a consignment shop I frequent and they had a couple of checks for me. They came to about $27; I really need to bring more items there. Last summer I bought things at yard sales and consigned them, and this year I'll add the costs and profits into the $20 challenge amount. I just love yard sales.
Next the bank, I transferred the money into my savings account for the $20 challenge and deposited my checks. Emergengy fund established!
Another consignment shop, this one a children's one. I got $8.00 there, and resisted buying a shirt for DS.
The paint store. I got a small can of ceiling paint and a small roller to touch up said ceiling and paint the trim and door. I'll probably have time to do that next Tuesday.
Next, Target. I returned a towel bar that was too short (duh) and found some hand towels on clearance. Very pretty.
Finally, the library. I did that last because it's the most time-consuming. I spent $20 and got lots of good ones.
I came home, made cookies, listed the books, and here I am!
Whew.
If my math is correct, I can add $10.50 to the $20 challenge fund. I made $35, spent $24.50 on books to sell- so the new total is $327.31
I bought some books
