Up-Cycle




Want to make some money on all those clothes you no longer want or need? Well there are several ways to accomplish that. If you have some spare time on you hands you can list it on websites like  offer-up and Facebook market place where it is local and you meet with the buyers and make the exchanges in person. This way is great if your in a pinch and need cash fast.



If your not stressing for cash then listing it on eBay or the new app Mercari is another great idea. You simply list what your selling and include a shipping fee and wait. eBay chargers a fee to list your items and also takes a small percentage of your sold price.

 There is Mercari which is free to list and they charge ten percent of your selling price which is taken out before you get it so it's hardly noticed and when you sign up you get a $10 credit with more ways to earn more credits. Check our their website here, I'm guilty of ordering alot of stuff from here love how convenient it is.

 Another way is thred-up, If your short on time (like me)you can order a clean out bag from thredup and they can sell your clothes for you. You get a $10 credit just for signing up and they have a points system that you can use for money off your purchases or free shipping. 500 points  just for ordering and returning a clean out bag. You can also refer your friends and family and each of you will get $10. It's great. They have a list of items and brands they accept. Also the clean out bags are 🆓 you can even schedule them to be picked up right from your front steps.  I've personally been with them for a few years and made hundreds of dollars off my old clothes.  I work alot and I enjoy spending my free time with my boys so this is perfect for me. Give it a try, check out their website here. I also buy alot of mine and my boys clothes here. They offer a variety of name brands all in great condition for more than half the price of retail.

Ugh! AliExpress is a Noooo Go.

 *update on my review of AliExpress* So I am known for always trying something once. Well I downloaded the app AliExpress, at first I liked it. Because it was like Wish but you Supposedly got your stuff faster. Well with that being said I believe I'll just stick to wish and wait for the stuff because I ordered a speaker and a purse set from AliExpress and it's nothing but disappointing. The speaker sucks its tiny and the volume is not even slightly loud.My cell phone is louder. And the purse what can I say? It's a F%$&ing joke, looks like something I would give a three year old to play with.  don't waste your time or money on this app.  I am just gonna stick with Wish and wait for my stuff to get here. Here are pictures of what I ordered and what I received. I said you have got to be kidding me when I opened the package containing the "purse"!!

Covid-19

Well, let me just start by apologizing about there not being any no new post lately.  This post is more a vent post and an update from me than it is frugal advice.  I've been super crazy busy. This Covid-19 has really put my life into a constant state of disarray. Me, being considered one of those lovely essential workers (whoop whoop)and being on the front line day in and day out. I'm tired. I'm exhausted. Unlike half the population that got that lovely money from unemployment, that boost in food stamps AND got to sit on their asses at home. I have been working, we did get our stimulus checks, but other than that we haven't received anything extra no NOTHING .  Since we work none of us even qualify for any kind of government help.  So the struggle has been real, having extra meals to make and more expenses to shell out since the kids are home more. Thankfully my hours haven't been cut, if anything we have been working more hours. Yet it's exhausting and it...
