We redid our kitchen 4 years ago and have had the cabinets from our old kitchen sitting in our garage ever since. I finally got tired of them sitting there and put them on Craig’s List yesterday. I got 10 emails in less than an hour and I now have a check in my hand! I even got what I was asking for them. They didn’t even haggle the price. I posted the listing exactly 24 hours ago. I am SO HAPPY! Now we can use the money to fix up our next project to sell.

I am loving the frugal Saturday challenge. Are you? I got an email from the Flyladies this week about doing a 27 fling boogie. These have become very liberating to me. A 27 fling boogie is a periodic surprise email that tells you to go throughout your home or a specific room and throw away 27 pieces of junk that you have accumulated.

Well this week we got an email for …read more
