We had our "big" rummage sale this weekend, it went great! I will post about that within the next few days. But I wanted to show how I keep organized for the sales.
As soon as I get the items I document them on my blog and also in a notebook I have specifically for my rummage sale purchases.
Then I mark them and put them away in their organized spots.

Here is my closet where I keep my rummage sale stockpile. I have these storage bins labeled for different types of items:
-Lotion
-Make up and Jewelry
-Razors and Shaving Supplies
-Oral Care
-Medicine and Personal Care



Then I also have these boxes to keep organized, so I can just put things right in to the box with like items. I have one for Menards items, one for Staples Items/School Supplies and one for larger CVS items like shampoo, bodywash etc. They are pretty empty right now since we sold a TON at the rummage sale, but I'm sure will have lots more inventory soon!

Went to CVS to get some deals on DH's card and found a ton of bubbles on clearance for .99 per 6 pack. I think I can open the packs and sell each individual bottle for .50, that would be a profit of $2.00 per pack for 13 packs, so $26.00 ($38.50 since it was free on my CVS GC)!!

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.

I wanted to do this deal on my other card for the Venus Razors cause I have a BOGO free coupon for them too, but both our CVSs were out.

There's also a good deal on Dawn Dishsoap, but they were out of that too. Guess I gotta get some rainchecks.

Ok this entry is waaaay overdue....but when we were gone on our cruise my Mom randomly decided to have a rummage sale and so she went down to our house and took everything up to her house and had a sale over the weekend we were gone and made a few bucks and some for us too!


DH Misc Science Supplies $4.20
Donated Items from friens $13.25
Donated Items from StepMom $4.25
My junk $4.50
Items bought specifically to resell for profit $25.50
Total $51.70

Not bad considerring I was sipping a tropical drink on a cruise ship while I was making this money!
So now I'm going to go back to the previous entries where I bought those items and update what was sold and for how much.

My husband has been getting his classroom ready for the new school year and inspired by my purging at the house (at least that's what I tell myself) he is going through a lot of the old supplies kept in his classroom that have been there since he started teaching 6 years ago. He brought a ton of stuff home and told me to mark it for the rummage sale. I wasn't sure that was ok, but he said if we didn't sell it they were just throwing it all away because they don't use it and he had already thrown a bunch out. We tried to give some to a middle school science teacher that is a friend of ours, but he only ended up taking one box out of like 10....so here is the fun I had all weeked:

Working on cleaning out my 3rd of 4 Dressers. The first drawer I have was my nylons and such. The 2nd drawer was all bras...like I said when I posted about the underwear...I used to work at JCPenney in the lingerie dept and got waaaaaay to much stuff for cheap when I worked there. It was about 10 years ago when I worked there and I definitely do not wear the same bra size anymore, so I did get rid of a ton of bras.
Still got 2 more drawers to do in this dresser, but got a good start.

Misc Items to sell - 4

I found a few things besides clothes for the rummage sale, 2 brand new disposable cameras, craft paint, and some craft pegs. (ETA - Sold both cameras for $2.00 each at the 9/17/12 rummage sale).

I went through the drawer where I have kept my extra contacts and also some misc junk. Got rid of the junk and found out that I have 3 full boxes of contacts for each eye. I was surprised to find out that I had that many, and very happy that I found that out now as I have an eye apt this next week and I have $200 towards frames, and $150 towards either lens or contacts. I wasn't sure if I was going to get lenses or contacts. Now that I know I have so many contacts left I can get the frames and lenses with my allowance.

My Mom got me this box of birdhouse home decor she found at a rummage sale and gave to me to wash up and mark for the rummage sale. It was only $2.00 total for everything, plus came in a really nice plastic tote that was worth more then $2.00 by itself. So I took all the stuff and my Mom took the tote. I washed everything up and marked each item from $1 to $3, if I sell it all I will make a profit of $14.00.
*ETA - Sold 3 out of the 9 items for $3.50 at 8/24/12 rummage sale
*ETA - Sold the last 6 items for $12.50 at the 9/7/12 rummage sale - Total profit on the box, $14.00!!

Alright so moving right along to my drawers in my bedroom. I got my socks and underwear done already. Now....don't judge/laugh at me about my underwear....I love underwear and I used to work at JCP in the lingerie dept when I was in highschool so I got a little addicted.....but let's just focus on the positive here, which is that I got rid of a bunch. Also not sure why I have so many pairs of socks....I don't even wear socks in the summer at all as I am a flip flop girl...but no reason to get rid of them and have to pay for them later.

I used my $10 coupon that I got in the mail from Shoe Carnival. I found a pair of cute silver sequin little girl shoes on clearance for $10, so I took them up to the counter to get them for FREE! I was very happy with my find, and then the cashier told me the clearance was an extra 50% off! So the shoes were only $5! So I hurried back and grabbed another pair...got 2 pairs of shoes ($24.99 each - reg price) for FREE!!! AWESOME!

I marked them for $7 each for the rummage sale.

Went through my shorts, skirts, jeans, khakis, dress pants and hanging dress shirts. Making progress little by little! Can't wait to get done with my closet so I can move on to the drawers in my room. The sheer amount of stuff we are going to have for the rummage sale is insane. But this project makes me happy and gives me a sense of accomplishment when I need a pick me up.

Oh I also organized my tupperware cupboard. I didn't get rid of anything in there, but just got it all organized so everything fits and everything has it's matching lid.

I added a new catagory to my blog today. "Cleaning/Purging/Organizing"

Lately I have been spending a lot of time at a friends house that runs a very small daycare from home. The house is crazyness. Every inch is packed with toys, clothes, craft/art supplies and misc everything. It drives me NUTS when I am there cause I just want to organize the crap out of it....it's near hoarders status (without the dirtyness of it). So it has really got it in my head about organizing and having too much stuff. I normally do pretty good with purging things as I like to constantly be weeding out for the rummage sale and throw things away pretty quickly once their worth is gone. But I could always do better and have been feeling overwhelmed with the amount of stuff in our house lately. So I am going to try to go room by room, drawer by drawer, closet by closet to get rid of things, rediscover the forgotten, and organize and clean my home!

I actually tried to start this a few weeks ago, but I already know it's going to be a very long process as I want to do it right and completely. So I started with one of the fullest places in the house...My closet. I took all of my tank tops out of my closet and tried on every single one....then a few weeks later I did this with my nice shirts. Very exhausting!! Once I had gone through them all I folded them all neatly and put them back in color coded rows (DORK ALERT!). I already have a whole shelf cleared off just from doing those.

Sick how much clothes I have...and that doesn't count the T-shirts, long sleeves, cardigans, hoodies, sweaters, or any of my hanging clothes..etc
So that is where I am at. Already have 35 items to get rid of at the next rummage sale.

Next I am going to tackle my shorts since it is hot as heck here and I need to see what I have to wear!
