Rummage Sale 8/24/12

September 4th, 2012 at 12:52 am

Rummage sale last weekend went well. DH and I made $375, rummage sale as a whole made about $2000. The items we bought to resell did really well. Snacks and the clothes I weeded out of my closet didn't go as well, but next weekend is the big city wide rummage sale and that is the one where I made $400 just in snacks last year, so I expect to make another $400 or so. I am really happy I am making a profit on the items I bought to resell. I put the whole $375 into the EF. Here is the breakdown of the sales.

$96.50 Misc Science supplies from DHs classroom
