Editor's Note

Welcome to the Mommysavers Newsletter!                                     5.5.2007

 

Happy Cinco de Mayo!  It's so nice that warmer weather is finally here.  My own family tried Letterboxing for the first time yesterday.  It was so much fun... and practically FREE!  If you'd like to hear more about it, visit my blog:

Money Saving Ideas

Summer Library Programs  I picked up a pamphlet today at one of our libraries about their free programs they have planned.  They have the summer reading program where they can earn coupons, prizes, and they are giving away a bike. At the end of the summer they have a picnic at the park where they have free food, crafts, face painting, etc. In the past they have also given out free passes to the Children's Museum when you sign up.  They also have weekly story time and craft time.

Garage Sales Advertise: make sure you include some "teaser" items such as brand names (Gymboree, Little Tikes,etc.) in your ad that are highly desirable.  Display: Don't crowd tables. If it's too hard to weed through your stuff, some people won't bother. Try to hang clothing if at all possible for higher perceived value.  Marking: Only price items in increments of $.25. If you mark things a nickel or a dime, it makes making change much more complicated. -- Member Kim
