We decided yesterday afternoon to have a yard sale. Our neighborhood was having a community wide yard sale and it was very well advertised so we figured it was worth throwing a sale together. I honestly didn’t think we would have that much because we have hauled a TON of stuff to the thrift store over the past year. But we cleaned out the attic and just threw it all into the front yard (well placed it nicely).

The sale lasted from 7 am to 1 pm and then we hauled what was left to the thrift store. We made $259.51 which will all go straight into the Disney Fund!

$259.51 added to the Disney Fund. $1597.33 saved since June 1st, 2010. (Goal is $3,000.)

I haven’t made a deposit to the Disney Fund in a few weeks due to the tornado that hit my town on April 27th. I have been so busy with relief work, that I haven’t had a chance to actually deposit this money. But I have time now….

$85.04 – Right after I lost the baby last year, I decided to redo my kids bedrooms. I had hubby pick up 8 packages of border paper (4 for each room) at Walmart and then I stuck them in a closet and forgot about them until last week. Luckily I keep all of my receipts, so I returned them to Walmart and received cash back that I am depositing into the fund because it is “found money“.

$25 – One of my neighbors had to go out of town and asked us to take care of their pets for them.

$1 – From Miller High Life

$20 – cash left from the grocery budget over the past couple of weeks

$50 – Walmart gift cards the kids received for their birthday. They both wanted to save it for souvenirs at Disney World. I spent $50 at Walmart on groceries and took the $50 in cash out of the budget and added it to the fund.

$5 – Earned a Target gift card during a sale week. I spent $5 at Target a few weeks after the sale and took $5 in cash out of the budget and added it to the fund.

$20 – Referred 4 friends to Plum District and earned a $20 Target gift card. I spent $20 at Target on groceries and took the $20 in cash out of the budget and added it to the fund.

$20 – Earned 2 $10 BP gift cards. Since they expire before the trip, I took $20 out of the gas budget and added it to the fund and spent the gift cards.

$10 – Earned a $10 Red Robin gift card from Pampers. I am giving the card as a year end gift. I took $10 out of the budget and added it to the fund.

$8.57 – Spare change that accumulated from breaking our dollars.

$55 – My nephew had to have braces. My mother in law gave me the cash and I charge the braces on the Disney Rewards Visa Card. We earned $55 for Disney and then I paid the balance off before interest could be charged.

$299.61 added to the Disney Fund. $1337.82 saved since June 1st, 2010. (Goal is $3,000.)

$33.23 – Lowered our cable bill and since it is now a lot lower than budget, we can deposit the difference into the Disney fund!

$348.79 deposited into the Disney Fund. $952.34 saved since June 1st, 2010. (Goal is $3,000.)
