I'm loving your blog, fellow NC "neighbor!" ...HI! I'm loving your blog, fellow NC "neighbor!" You inspired me to see how little I could spend at the grocery story today. Well. Instead of the usual (approx) $100, I only spent $53 and change. And that's only because pork chops were on sale and I bought three packages for the freezer. <BR/><BR/>I've been trying to think of a new direction for my (general) blog. I don't know that I'll start only doing "frugal" posts, but I'll sure start doing "some." <BR/><BR/>By the way, I live about 20 miles east of Raleigh. I'd love to know what (general) area you're in, unless that would make you uncomfortable to say. You can email me if you'd like at sansmith(at)nc(dot)rr(dot)com. I'm reading your archives...so MUCH great information! Thank you!<BR/><BR/>~SandyJae Arronsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05313969209164545797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423138689612653428.post-55476500817810080992008-01-04T20:30:00.000-05:002008-01-04T20:30:00.000-05:00I prefer to pay with Paypal too, but don't know an...I prefer to pay with Paypal too, but don't know anything about being on the "receiving end" of Paypal.

I hope that you get lots of those last-minute bidders and the price goes way up!<BR/><BR/>I scrolled through your sewing projects and found the things you made with the cute jungle flannel. I didn't know it came in a larger print, too! So adorable!<BR/>PS--I'm with Jen. Paypal makes it easier to collect money from people, and it's 10x safer. On the rare occasion I sell anything on eBay, I prefer paypal. I'll take a money order, but I've long since stopped accepting checks. Can't be too safe!Mom2furhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423138689612653428.post-31488852131656664232008-01-04T15:10:00.000-05:002008-01-04T15:10:00.000-05:00I'd really, **really** like to open an Etsy shop t...I'd really, **really** like to open an Etsy shop this year.

I just took last week two boxes of hardcover bestsellers to the library! Well, at least I did receive a tax deduction for them.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04344506345965096439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423138689612653428.post-2114124641137097382008-01-04T12:09:00.000-05:002008-01-04T12:09:00.000-05:00I am also looking in to ways to earn online.

I added an Adsense and Google search for a start.<BR/><BR/>About banking, I know all parts of the country are different, but we bank at a local credit union. Checking and savings are all free and even the online bill paying is free. I could not be happier with our credit union. <BR/><BR/>best wishes to you!Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898829593961271218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423138689612653428.post-80807652942064460362008-01-04T10:49:00.000-05:002008-01-04T10:49:00.000-05:00If you want to keep the money seperate, I'd sugges...If you want to keep the money seperate, I'd suggest opening a paypal account. People are more likely to buy if they can pay through paypal. The money you earned can sit in that account, you can also get a "debit/credit" card with paypal and then if you need to use that money you have access to it, or you can connect it to a bank account. I also suggest having the auction end on late Sunday night (remember time zones and such), people are home on the weekends!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423138689612653428.post-82953906315741765592008-01-04T08:59:00.000-05:002008-01-04T08:59:00.000-05:00Way to go!Just a quick note on the eBay thing: If ...Way to go!<BR/><BR/>Just a quick note on the eBay thing: If you have your auctions close on Sunday nights or Monday nights, those are supposed to be some of the best times for traffic and sales. <BR/><BR/>I'll have to write a post with tips for selling on eBay sometime soon. I'm no great expert, but I've sold a lot of stuff and learned a lot over the past few years.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the great work!Crystal Painehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14422651207676804204noreply@blogger.com
