So I thought I'd make some money today. And to be honest yes I did. Not the barrels of it that I wanted to but I am now $50 richer and my house is less cluttered. It did make me think though about how much we throw out and how much we give away. I'm more than happy to donate clothes to the Sallies and other donation shops but with things such as my books and dvd's I wanna make a profit. I had a HUGE bag of books and a bad full of dvd's that I wanted to be rid of so I got my walking shoes and bus legs on and left the house. I ended up heading to Fraser Cove to lose my books. I thought, bookworm is a great place they sell loads of books and have a great selection. Lets just say I WONT be shopping or selling there anymore. The women TOTALLY ripped me off and I'm still pretty angry. For a HUGE bag full of great condition nearly new books she gave me $10. What a F**KING CROCK!! Especially because I know she's gonna mark up the prices and make a killing. But my fault for being to lazy to LUG these books to another store. So I took the cash after trying to haggle her for at least $1 a book. But NO it was NOT to be so....... Well I left vowing never to shop or sell there again. Also its probably a good thing because they are part of United Video and I'm BARRED from ever having an account there ever again. (THANK YOU dumb BOY flat mates who lose dvd's and or lie and say they returned them when they hadn't!!)
So it was onto the bus for me and into town. Where I made $40 at Cash Converters for some dvd's, a ps2 game and some skull candy headphones that I got for FREE and never used anyway. So that was more of a winner. And then was on to the library where I will now be getting all of my books from. Of course I had a $7 fine to pay so the profits for today were really $43. But still a WIN!! and I also came home and ate noodles for lunch instead of getting a pie!!
I paid for my LAST coffee today and tonight Anya and I shall be dining on our LAST feed of Fish & Chips before our Spend Free September begins. OH its gonna be a LONG 30 days I can feel it.......
