Have some bottled water iced down for sale. I can get a 36 pack at Kroger for about $3. You would be surprised at how much you can sell at $0.25 - $0.50 per bottle. Before long, you've paid for what you bought and the rest is free bottled water for you. You can try soft drinks, too. |
Good idea about music and water. I have a feeling by Thursday night I'll be asking myself why I am having a garage sale. I forgot how much work it is.
