August The Same


 August was not much better. Sold 40 somethin and listed over 100, so that was good. On facebook there are so many complaints about slow sales. I looked back to last August and I sold over 60 items. I'm also beginning to track week totals to compare like week 34 last year verses week 34 this year.

I'm listing pretty routinely and sales are spotty, but I am making money and have a nice tidy amount in my "Reselling Account". I have tried to cut down on my expenses due to a new and unexpected car payment and I have managed to trim about 150$. I'm hoping to revisit and save more. I moved my cell phone to T Mobile (saving 25!!! Yikes, that really sucks) Moved my Internet from Spectrum to TMobile - saved about 35$. Switched from Direct TV to YouTube and saved about 60$ Stopped some channels subscription - so another 30$ saved.

Going to revisit the TMobile stuff. May switch to the Old Folk Phone company - or Mint/Cricket etc. tmobile owns Metro now. Maybe save another 50$ I was really good about not sourcing until  the last week then I went nuts! Ha ha. Week 33 the monthly total was 370$ week 34 I spent first 150 at an online auction, 113 at a live auction, and 150 at another online auction which I may just count as a September amount because I won't pay until Tuesday, the 5th. Hopefully, won't have any vet visits until October when Baxter needs a check up. My heart squeezes every time I think of Sissy.
