Part 6

Part 6 of Crystal's "100 Different Ways to Save $100 This Year" is up. I love the tip on creating challenges for yourself--making frugality a game is, I think, one of the keys to staying on track and beating deprivation. One of my games lately has been to sell whatever I don't love. Sure, I may like it a lot--but that's not enough. Would I like $20 better? If I would, out it goes. I am getting down to the nitty gritty, and it is really fun seeing the house clear out and the money stack up.

Speaking of, I made another $30 at the garage sale today. Woot! Since I can't make it to the sale tomorrow, my friend is being sweet enough to sell the rest of my items for me for whatever she can get. Anything that's left over will be piled on a donation truck. Hopefully a few more bucks will be coming my way!
