Make up to £10 a day in August 2018 - Everyone welcome

Hopeless_Case

I 'think' I've got another £1.58 to add - it's an odd one, I did an online Waitrose shop, and ordered 2 packs of San Pelegrino @ 2 for £6.

They subbed grapefruit flavour which OH can't have because of his meds, so I took them back and swapped them for lemon - and they insisted in giving me an extra £1.58 back despite me telling them I'd already had the discount in the original order

So it's £1.58 cash in my hand and I think it counts? I've already rounded it up to £1.60 and paid it off a credit card :rotfl:

Definitely counts! Well done on paying straight off the credit card too

Right, first ideas post. This is a really good way to make some extra cash and declutter at the same time. Now the regulars on here will know that I am by no means a minimalist and in fact the words bomb and site often come to mind when I think of home but there are loads of ways to sell unwanted stuff these days so here are a few.

Carboot sale - ideal this time of year and also good for bulky items or general things with wide appeal.

Jumble/Table top sales - All year round and usually making money for a good cause too from the table cost. Not usually as big an audience but can be good. These are sometimes specialised eg baby items. Check on line or local paper/community notice boards etc for details.

Gumtree, Facebook selling pages - also good for bulky items like furniture, bundles of clothes, dvds games etc. Usually local pick up so remember to stay safe but this saves time and cost of postage.

Ebay - good for a wider audience, more specialised items, expensive things. The fees can put people off but there are often offers like free listing, pay only if you sell and maximum fees.

Here is a link to the Ebay, Carboot and Jumble Sales Board on MSE

Thank you! I've started off well, with £13.07 earned today through some surveys

Good start to the day. Canceled my numerous charity donations that I pay monthly to. Need to clear my debt as a priority. £21 saved for this month - does that count?

Posted various things on Schpock too and sold a dress for £8. Not counting until she collects and pays though.

Have also switched my credit cards to an 0% balance transfer fee and 23 month 0% interest. Will work out what that saves once it's all gone through.

Next stop will be surveys. Wish me luck!

Brilliant start. Well done :T Yes definitely count the cancelled donations. Good luck with clearing your debt, the balance transfer should definitely help with that :j

A slow start for me to August. Found £1.24 while moving furniture around!
