I think I'm going to put up the portable garage on Tuesday (hopefully in the morning) and then add in the tables & such. Then I'll be able to start putting things in. I think I'm going to just put stuff on tables & in boxes not marked. And just have a 25 cent/50 cent/$1 tables. I think people are pretty honest about where they got things, if I can't remember.
I don't really expect to make tons of money - although that would be realllllly nice. I do need a little bit of money for the beginning of school. That first paycheck takes time to appear in my account. I'm doing it different this next year. I took the pay option of 26 weeks instead of the 21. I can still save money, & have spending money, but I won't have to skimp & worry through the summer quite as much. At least that's the plan.
Speaking of dough.... the other kind of dough.... I'm planning on making some cinnamon rolls & freezing them for fast breakfasts for school. I've never tried this recipe before, nor have I frozen rolls before. I've been reading up on the best way to do it. Should I just freeze them - uncooked? Or should I bake them for 15 minutes & then cool them & then freeze them? I've found arguments about the quality of both ways. I guess I'll just have to experiment.
The other breakfast foods that I'm thinking of making are Breakfast Burritos and Egg Mc-muffins. The burritos are easy.... we do those at camp. Soft shell taco, scrambled eggs, bacon/ham/sausage & cheese. Roll them up & you're ready to go. Egg Mc-muffins sound pretty easy too. A reoccurring theme that I never thought of was to BAKE the eggs... who'd a thunk?... then they come out round & fit on the muffin. We have a bread outlet store near us, so I'm going to stop there & get the muffins - not sure if I'll get bagels or english muffns. Guess I'll have to have some input from the
What are you doing to PRE-pare for the school year?
Bye! Love you! Have a good day, Dear!
Good luck with your rummage sale, you are much more ambitious than I am. I had my last ever rummage sale a few years ago, now I either sell it on the bulletin board at work or donate it.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have a good plan for getting your breakfasts ready. I'm hoping to buy a freezer next week and do a bunch of freezer cooking the week after next when we're on vacation
I have a big yard sale every year - last year I made over $600! Definitely put a small $10 ad in the paper. Also have a "FREE TOYS" box - with Happy Meal & Dollar Tree kind of toys. The kids will dig for "hours", forcing Mom to look around longer, and maybe feel a little obligated to buy something... Good Luck!
