Yard Sale

On Saturday we had our annual yard sale. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. We had one every year and it seems like last year it wasn't that great. The day started out looking like the weather was maybe going to give us a problem but it turned out okay. We also didn't put an add in the paper because they have really raised their prices at the spectrum, so we were really wondering how it was going to do. Well we shouldn't have worried because it turned out greatI hung up signs at 6:30 our first customers arrived right at 7:00 as we were still putting stuff out and from there on out until 12:00 when we shut the doors it was crazy busy. More than once we had people lined up out the garage waiting to pay.

Chloe and Saydee sold cookies, muffins, and o.j.. They sold out pretty quickly and each made $6. Tanner kept track of everything he had in there and if he saw someone walking up to pay with something that was his he would make sure that we paid him after they had paid.

We didn't have anything big in like furniture and we made about $325. Not bad for one morning. I think the economy had a lot to do with how well we did, because more people are probably shopping at yard sales right now. So if your thinking of having one it would probably be a good time.
