Errand Day

Today was my last Friday off for the summer. We get half days on Fridays and I've been lucky enough to be able to work flex time during the week so I could have the whole day off. I love that flexibility, and it saves me on gas since I don't have to drive to work. I got a ton of stuff done today - my ShopRite shopping, one last Rite Aid trip, dropped off and picked up some new books at the library, dropped off my recycling and shipped a bunch of stuff that I sold on ebay. During the past couple of weeks, I sold:

• 23 Secret Deodorants
• 2 Olay Total Effects facial moisturizers
• 4 Infusium Shampoos
• 8 St. Ives facial cleansers
• 2 Physician's formula mascaras
• 7 Olay Quench lotions

The Olay and Infusium were big sellers, I got around $25 for each auction. After all the shipping costs, I now have $53 in my Paypal account. I'll use that money to pay for my coupons for the next month or so and any rebates/extra coupons I want to buy. I have some other auctions up right now as well. Selling stuff online can be a bit of work, but its definitely worth it.
