Progress: Day 10, January 10
Progress: Day 10, January 10
My husband decided to work from home today, so that messed with my goals to do "quiet things" like work in my Inspire Bible and watch some more writing videos. My husband's job involves lots of phone calls, and I cannot block out his conversation when I am trying to meditate on Bible verses or listen to a video. So, my goals for the day had to shift.
In between hubby's phone calls, we managed to run a few errands -- make a return to a store, pick up a prescription, and do a little grocery shopping. While hubby was driving, I went through the coupons and took out the ones that had expired. We keep our coupons in the car. I began that practice years ago because it seemed like I would get to the store or restaurant and then realize I had left my coupons at home. Now that the coupons are in the car, I always have them with me, and if I forget to take them in the store or restaurant, I just go back out to the car to get them. Occasionally, when my husband is driving, I sort through them to purge the ones that have expired. It is a good use of my time.
Another goal completed today was pricing some clothing items for my spring and summer garage sales. I tried on all my fall/winter clothing in September and set aside the items that did not fit or that I no longer wanted. Today I punched out price tags and wrote out the labels and pinned them to the items. When I make my price tags for clothing, I always list the size of the item so people don't have to hunt for it. I also write the item description on the back of the tag. The reason I do this is because whatever I don't sell, I donate, and I need to know what the items donated were for our taxes. After I am done having garage sales for the season, I remove the tags and file them with our receipts for our taxes.
Today's progress:
Ran errands. Coupons sorted. Clothing labeled for garage sale.

What is the best place you have found to keep your coupons?
Do you have garage sales? Why or why not?
