I thought it would be fun to have a board game that reinforces thoughts on starting and growing a business. I knew I wanted players to have to make certain decisions that would lead to the start up and growing of the business. I will probably use an old garage sale board game as the base, and just glue the printed game mat to it.

I cut down a small cedar tree (which grow like weeds on our 6 acres) each year, put it in a tree stand on the porch and put white twinkle lights on it. We live on the edge of the prairie and prairie grasses grow well here. They kind of look like the ones for sale at Curious Country Creations. These make nice gifts too.

Some get stuff from stores, the less financially favored head for thrift stores, garage sales, Mom’s house or the trash pickup routes. Maybe you put it at the curb, hoping someone will take it and use it – or you sell it at a garage sale or some other used stuff venue. You move on.

As baby grows, we might turn back into fiendish savers – trying to get that retirement fund or college fund built up. As a young mom, I saved like mad – going to garage sales, thrift stores and accepting hand me downs on toys and clothing. The things that give us pleasure vary by temperament. Time of life.

Last week I visited a garage sale. I didn’t feel obligated, but did end up buying another package of it at that sale! Just sit through the sales presentation and then take advantage of the ‘free’ advice. Another way sales personnel try to get you to buy is to invest time their time with you.

I took at least three trunks full of “stuff” to Goodwill, I had a garage sale, and I sold things online. And then, well, like a weed that just won’t stop growing, the stuff started piling up again. Three years ago, before we moved to our current home, I decluttered. Boy, did I declutter. We loved the feeling.

My family has a crawl space downstairs, a pantry upstairs, and a freezer in the garage. You can cross-reference your food storage list to sales flyers and coupons if you are really looking to save. I remember helping my mother prepare corn and peas for the freezer while growing up. These are areas where we store our food items.

Growing up in America in the fifties and sixties, I seldom saw negotiation in action. Although our citizens don’t practice the very visible haggling over every item for sale that I saw on that Mexican vacation, I believe we are seeing a trend toward more price negotiation in the U.S.A. Garage sales – need I say more?

I pick up a lot of them at garage sales for 25 cents to a $1. Digging into this formula investment technique (which is similar to dollar cost averaging), led me to the re-discovery of multiple other types of formulas and techniques which are supposed to help us make our money grow.

Garage sale and thrift store furniture bargains abound. Our home furnishings include many cherished family heirlooms, such as an iron bed my folks bought at a sale, or the hand carved bed frame purchased by my great-grandfather. Although upholstery material can be very expensive (think $25+ a yard), you can find it on sale.
