Ebay finds to sell
10 pairs of like new shoes/boots mostly designer
1 new in package thermoplus boot liners
1 designer shirt
also 1 stapler gun and new in package art supports I don't know if i will sell- this lot was $10
about 20? vintage dress patterns, about 8? cross stitch kits, a new in package farting teddy bear, and a DVD player (the dvd player is for us- ours broke)- this lot was 15 dollars
also got about 25 pieces of baby clothes/one pair of baby sandals- a lot of baby gap, osk gosh, etc for 5 dollars (some will keep others will sell at future garage sale for profit) and 8 dollars of kids toys- 7things (some will sell- if they don't sell I will keep for future kids)
spent 38 dollars- we will see how much I make on selling- but figure even buying a new DVD player is around 30 dollars so got some good deals.

Garage sale and shopping finds
went to one garage sale in our neighborhood and got a bunch of stuff for husband since he needs a lot of outside tools for landscaping business:
2 shovels: 1 dollar each (will use both)
2 tarps: 3 dollars total (will use)
mallet and ax: 1 dollar each (said needed another ax)
funnel: 1 dollar (will use)
hearing protection: 50 cents (said will keep as spare, don't we sell, but not kind he likes)
another hand tool for 1 dollar (forget to ask him about this one)
2 rolls of wire 3.00 (took chance on this one thinking husband might use since electrical wire is so expensive- but prob won't)
plus
drying rack 1 dollar (I needed one of these)
plus extender thing .50 cents (we also needed one of these)
broom handle 1 dollar (and needed one of these)
plus for free I got almost full containers of
car wash
leather cleaner
windex
antibactorial cleaner
painters tape
wood floor cleaner
kitchen scissors
I spent 15 dollars total, so although I shouldn't have brought the electrical wire and the mallet he said he already has a couple of I think it was a pretty good buy especially since I got all the cleaners were free and I was just guessing on what might be useful for him to have extra's. The girl running the sale was just trying to get rid of all the stuff in the garage because the owners had moved to Florida and sold the house.
The I went to the mall with my mom and brought
16 pair of baby/toddler shoes/boots/sandals: 1 dollar each
11 pairs of baby/toddles hats or mittens 1 dollar each
these were at HM marked way down- since most were originally around 10-20 dollars. I will resell most of these on ebay/craigslist/garage sale. However, I will prob save a couple for our future or baby shower gifts because some are so cute.
I also got a sweater for 7.50 marked down from 25.
Then at JCPenny's I got 6 bath towels quick dry on clearance for 3.20 each (used coupon to) and a sports bra on clearance for 3.20 so spent 23 dollars there.
So overall spent a bunch of money today about 73 dollars, but around 1/2 of that was either for the landscape business or my ebay business. I attached the pictures of a couple of the shoes I already listed, but the cutest ones I haven't listed yet.

ebay sale 3
dress got for free because my mom brought it and then it didn't fit her (but was only 1 dollar at Jcpennys on clearance- think it might have been mismarked)
sold for 9.50 plus shipping costs of 3.60
shipping was 3.60
ebay and paypal fees approx 2.00
profit 7.50
total profit from all sales: $12.50

Ebay Business sale 2
adidas pants brought for 12 dollars
approx 3.50 in ebay fees and paypal fees
7.50 shipping (still very high- going to research how to ship for cheaper)
profit: 4.50
Total profit from all sales approx: 5.00
So although this was a higher profit- still not the kind of profit I am shooting for- I think 10 dollars an item is what I am aiming for- at this point I am just trying it out so only putting about two things up a week for sale- don't want to make a big investment to something that might not work.

EBAY Business SALE 1
King duvet cover brought for 9.99 + tax= 10.69
Shipping cost: 12.90
Ebay Cost: 2.80
PayPal Cost: 1.20
Total: 27.59
Sold it for 28 dollars
made: .41
Haha I think that was a fail but at least I didn't lose money we will see how other sales go- might be too many fees involved to do it the way I am doing it. I didn't waste any money on gas since i picked up the duvet cover while out shopping anyways with a friend and I had to go to the PO BOX anyways so shipped it then.

sick- stomach bug or food poisoning
Around 9pm on friday night i went from feeling a little tired to getting a headache like i had a cold to in about half hour time throwing up, i was having a throwing up episode every 1/2 hour to hour until about 3-4am then i felt nauseous until about mid morning (although this part was tolerable for the most part) and then felt pretty crappy for the rest of the day. Today I feel better, although still tired and my stomach can only handle small quantities of food. The husband thinks it was food poisoning, I think it was the stomach bug. Hopefully he does not get. I will be carrying hand sanitizer with me from now on in hopes of preventing this in the future.
I finding throwing up to be one of the worst things because there is not much you can do about it and I had no idea when it was going to end- although we had pepto i doubt it would have done much since i couldn't even keep liquid down and i have read that it is not good to prevent throwing up since your body is trying to clear out whatever it is.

New Vacuum and rug
http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=18478048
I got this vacuum- I spent so much time reading reviews trying to make sure I did get another vacuum that loses suction and ends up being junk. This one got awesome reviews and many people said it was just as good as the dyson for a lot less. I used a 20 percent off coupon plus had gift cards left over from our wedding so only payed 72 dollars. So far it has worked great and I picked up a gross amount of dirt/dog hair in our house- I love how it has a attachment to do the wood and tile floors.
http://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/italia-1646/red/1341646RED-79011.html
I also got this rug in red with the groupon I got for Christmas- currently we don't have a rug on our hardwoods in our family room we will see how it goes in there. If it gets too fully of dog hair I will put it in the dining room which doesn't get used much. With the groupon I spent 32 dollars out of pocket so, 75 groupon cost to purchase + 32= 107 dollars for an 8 by 11 area rug is a good price, however I was disappointed that I could not use it on many of the rugs I liked on the site since they were on sale and you cannot combine.
