[MrsPinecone]

Just as a comparison, the Coppertone Continuous Spray is 10.99 at CVS/Rite Aid, and 6.87 or so at Walmart.

Seems hit and miss, as always for yardsale. Gillete M3P Razor and Catridage left from last year Walgreen deal $4.00 each still are selling strong.

Anxiously awaiting reminbi's yardsale results........

I'm a big fan of his, ya know......he and his wife just blow me away with their finesse for making dollars!

Thanks!

Here is three day tally.

$450, $350, $250.... for $1050 total. Getting worse every day. On hindsight, should have avoided Saturday.

DW and I have not been much grocery couponing this year so basically we are eating off last year's leftover. :wink:

Considering we are bored to death by lack of traffic, not that bad. Nearly sold all the 60 M3P Catridge Refills at $4.00 each.
So that is probably will be one of the last yardsales we will have and time to stock up on baby items now.

Stuff that selling pretty well

*Heinz Gravy (Small Bottle) 50 cents
*Tabasco Sauce 75 cents
*Mannual Toothbrushes $1.00 each
*Staples FAR Calculator $2.00 each
*Staples FAR Pen/Markers $1.50 or $3.00
*24 count pocket listerine (not from CVS, but those I stockpiles last two years) 50 cents
*Eclipse Mints 50 cents
.....

That's a good way of putting it Robinbrooke.

I am a fan of his also.

Glad you posted Remin, have been waiting too. I think you did wonderful even if the totals went down each day.

Are you two expecting? I know you posted earlier that you weren't getting any younger.

Yes. So we need to get more involved in ECB deals in order to start stockpiling diapers. :eek:

I have wanted so badly to make a comment about reminbi going to be a father, but I knew I needed to wait until he make the official announcement here on HCW, so now I can publicly say, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! :baby: :baby: :baby: :Angel10:

And even though you and your wife were bored with the lack of traffic at your yardsale, and the sales declining each day, I still think you guys did terrific! I would be thrilled if I could sell $1000 in our yardsale! Way to go!

YES $1000 IN 3 DAYS! I'll take it! I know it was months of shopping clipping and researching, but still not a bad pay off!
My friend has a flee market store. She sells all deodorants for $1.50 and up. The old Herbal Essences for $2 and Vive for $2. She sell out of every thing at those prices. She can never make more than.25 for a trial size.
I'm planning ti sell the regular Rolaids for .75 and the +gas relief for $1. I would like to try $2 for the sunsilk but I really need it to move. I'm going for $2 on the vive and Herbal Essences, and .75 for suave and Vo5.
Will the new Soft Soaps sell for $2? What about Olay washes? Is $3 too much?

[boycrewof7]

I sold my soft soaps for 1.50 didn't move fast but sold them all just lasted longer than I thought they would.

I had bottles of olay facial washes that I got on clearance then free with coupns from GE. Sold them for 3.00 each sold fast.

Here are some of my prices.

Trial sizes - .25c or 5 for $1.00 - These sell well with campers, travelers and kids
Gum - .25 a pack - Great for kids with a little spending change in thier pockets.
Deoderant - $1.00 - Always sell lots
Toothbrushes - .75 single pack $1.00 twin pack
Toothpaste - $1 single pack $1.50 twin pack
Oust fans - $3.00
Glade sprays - .75c
Oust Air Sanitizer - $1.50
Fantastic and other hh cleaners - $1.50
Baby washes, lotions - $2.00
Trial size wipes - .75c

Baby stuff sells exceptionaly well at all my yard sales. Could be because I have lots of baby clothes and items that draws people in that have kids.

I don't sell a lot of food items, besides gum and candy.

I guess I'm just in a bad market. I set up at the flea market and my VIVE Pros barely move at $2. My Sunsilk is 1.50 and sell maybe 4 or 5 each time. I have my Olay washes at 1.50 and people only want to pay a $1.

My Gerber body wash won't budge at 1.50. I thought that was a reasonable price, but I guess I'll have to go down to $1. I swear everyone wants me to sell everything I have for .25 each. Crazy people.
