This is the sixth post of the Moneyclip series which aims to give you a quick and easy tip on how to save money. See the rest here.
This, admittedly, requires more effort than the previous tips but it can also pay off more. I’m always discussing my desire to reduce the amount of items I own and what better way to make money than to sell them?
A few weeks ago my family and I collected all the items we no longer used and spent 3 hours at a carboot. We made a profit of £90 in just a day and most importantly we gave up those items that we never use. Those items are no longer taking up space in our house or our minds.
Most of you reading this will have gone through some sort of move so take the next opportunity to look at what you own critically. Aim to find 10 things you don’t use and that you could sell. If you do this every week, after a month you will have enough for a carboot.
Find out about a carboot in your local area that has space for lots of cars. We chose a more expensive carboot but managed to sell enough to have made it worth it. We knew most people attended this carboot so the extra entrance fee wasn’t an issue.
