Ebay Trash to Cash Sales for September

My first trash-to-cash Ebay sale for the month of September was this box of Prevacid that I got for free at Rite Aid back in July. It sold for $5.00 plus the buyer paid first class shipping of $2.32.

This Black & Decker coffee pot replacement carafe that I found in a dumpster went for $12.99 plus the buyer paid $8.65 for shipping. 

Another dumpster diving find were these 2 new packs of Universal looseleaf business card pages. I sold them for $12.00 with free First Class shipping which cost me $1.93.

I also found this Barbie fireplace in the dumpster. Someone threw it away because it had a crack in the side. However, I looked it up when I got home and found that it was vintage 1984, so listed it on Ebay for $9.99 with free shipping. It sold and First Class shipping cost $2.49.

Here are some more sales from my continuing efforts to declutter the house:

I found this copy of The Mom Inventor's Handbook collecting dust in my basement, so I listed and sold it for $16.99 with free media mail shipping. The shipping cost me $2.69.

These Nike cleats were purchased second-hand for my daughter to play lacrosse last year and we paid $15.00 for them. I resold them on Ebay for $15.00 at the end of her season, and the buyer paid $8.55 for shipping. They were pretty dirty, but I cleaned them up nicely for photos with my Mr. Clean Magic Erasers.

                                 

My daughter Charlie asked me to list this book on numerology for her. It sold for $12.00 with free Media Mail shipping, which cost $2.69.

These vintage Dingo Western boots sold for $59.99 plus the buyer paid $14.25 for shipping. These were given to my daughter by one of her friends, but they were size 11 and didn't really fit anyone in the family or I would have kept them! 

My daughter Bridgette asked me to list these three books about Japan for her. They sold for $14.99 with free Media Mail free shipping which was $2.69.

This khaki skirt from Coldwater Creek that was taking up space in my closet sold for $25.99 with free shipping. I put the keyword "modest" in the title, since some shoppers search specifically for that. First Class shipping was $2.69.

And finally, my best sale for the month was this hand-blown cobalt blue glass platter. I purchased it (and 11 others) back in 1987 when I lived in Damascus, Syria for a few dollars each. I thought I might use them as dinner plates or chargers, but I never did. I moved them from place to place around the world with me for over 25 years and decided they weren't serving any purpose in my basement, so I listed one. It sold for $99.99 and the buyer paid $11.65 for shipping! 

My total trash-to-cash Ebay sales for September were $304.36.

Paypal and Ebay fees cost me $39.56 and free shipping costs totalled $12.49, thus my net profits for the month came to $252.31.

After I gave Charlie $9.00 for her book and gave Bridgette $10.00 for her book, I ended up with $233.31!

What To Do When Your Catalina Doesn't Print

A Catalina is a coupon that prints out of the box next to register at many supermarkets and drug stores. There are two kinds of Catalinas:

1) A coupon for a particular product
2) A coupon for savings on your next order, no matter what you buy

Last week I purchased 2 Campbell's Slow Kettle Soups at Harris Teeter with the expectation of receiving a Catalina coupon for $1.50. My Catalina didn't come out of the machine, even though I received several others, so I knew the machine was working.

When I got home I went HERE and input all of the information from my receipt. 

Today I received this nice letter from Catalina marketing along with my coupon:

Free Zone Bars and Cheap Apples at Giant!

Thanks to Diana B for this great find:

Zone Bars are on sale at Giant for $1.00 through 10/16/14
Use the 55 cent coupon from the 7/27 Smart Source insert, doubled to get them for free! 
But hurry - the coupons expire on September 28th!!

Note: I bought 5 bars today, thinking that my four coupons would double fully and take 40 cents off the 5th Zone bar. However, since Giant upgraded their registers, this no longer works. The coupons only doubled up to the price of the item (like they do at Harris Teeter), and I ended up paying full price for the 5th bar.

While I was at Giant I spotted a good price on Gala Apples for 97 cents a pound.  A great deal when combined with this week's Saving Star Healthy Offer!

Also, there is a new Checkout 51 offer this week to get back 25 cents on any purchase of apples!!

Harris Teeter Milk and Cereal Deal!

I am working on coupon match-ups for this week but in the meantime, I wanted to post this special milk and cereal deal:

There are several scenarios that will make your cereal 50 cents a box if you are buying the milk anyway, because you can combine the offer with this sale:

Buy 1 gallon Highland Crest Milk - $3.29

Buy 2 boxes of General Mills cereals - $2.50 each

Subtotal = $8.29

You can mix and match from these scenarios, depending which coupons you have:

Scenario #1

Buy 2 boxes of Cheerios Protein (if your store carries it - it's new)

Use:

- 2 coupons for 75 cents from the 9/7 Smart Source insert, doubled

Coupon total $3.00 + $1.00 milk instant savings = $4.00

Total out of pocket = $3.79
Final cost  = $4.29

Update: Cheerios Protein is not included in the sale but is $4.79 a box!

Scenario #2

Buy 2 boxes of Fiber One cereal

Use 2 coupons for 75 cents from the 9/14 Smart Source insert, doubled  

Coupon total $3.00 + $1.00 milk instant savings = $4.00

Total out of pocket = $4.29

Scenario #3

Buy 2 boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios (12.25 oz) 

Use:

- 50 cent ZVR

- 50 cent Saving Star deposit

- 2 of these coupons, doubled

Coupon total $2.50 + $1.00 milk instant savings = $3.50

Total out of pocket = $4.79
Final cost after you get back 50 cents from Saving Star  = $4.29

Some regional inserts had coupons for 75 cents off Multigrain or Honey Nut cheerios in the 9/7 Smart Source, so if you have those coupons, they would make for good deals too! 

Also, Cascadian Farms cereal is on sale for $3.00 a box. Here's a scenario if you have these Catalina coupons in your stash:

Save the 75 cent ZVR to your VIC Card
Load the Saving Star offer to get 75 cents off any Cascadian Farm product

Buy:
- 1 gallon Highland Crest Milk - $3.29
- 2 Cascadian Farms Cereals - $6.00
Subtotal = $9.29

Use:
2 coupons for $1.50 off cereal plus get  75 cent ZVR and $1.00 instant savings on milk
Total out of pocket = $4.54
Final cost after you get back 75 cents from Saving Star = $3.79
Cost of cereal alone =  25 cents per box!
Or $1.00 per box if you only have one of the Catalina coupons.

Harris Teeter - Cheap Nature's Harvest Bread!

I stopped into Harris Teeter this morning to get the EVIC hamburger and hot dog rolls, because I forgot to get them earlier in the week. I also decided to do the Meal Deal for the second time. All of the packages of chicken in the front of the store with the rest of the Meal Deal items were priced over $10.00, so I went to the back of the store. There I found a package of boneless, skinless chicken breasts for $4.84. My total cost for this trip was $12.82!

In addition to the aforementioned Meal Deal and buns, I also got the money maker Playtex tampons, some marked down bananas, and three loaves Nature's Harvest bread. I found it for $2.99, on sale Buy One Get One Free, with $1.00 peelie stickers. That made the bread 50 cents a loaf!
