Money Saving Tips

Name Your Price

12 years ago

I'm so happy to see big box stores again allowing me to name my own price on unmarked items at the register. Finally they see the wisdom of not holding up employees and lines of customers for a widget thats only worth a few bucks and I save a little money.

The hallway to rest rooms at my grocery has a large basket of highly reduced prided items. Super great mark downs. Looks like guess somebody will buy this for 15 cents.
Quite a mix of items.

I always wondered, if those are items are what people forgot & left in the rest rooms.

Fruitnut Thank you you saved my time and efforts. I have these two fig trees which need the fig wasp for pollination and since the fig wasp does not live in my area I am stock with two healthy trees 8 feet long but not even one fruit ripened for 3 years. I hate to kill them I have lots of memories with them. I think now I will propagate them with fig scion which I have. Thank you again.

I just heard from Mr. Lowery via email and he found my Aannechen!!! So, I will be recieving it instead of another rose I had ordered. Alls well that ends well! Did I mention I am really going to miss VG. Belmont, I will still try to root some Celestials, and might you possibly have Princesse de Lamballe?

I have a little bit of frozen pods from last year. It's a variety. I believe I smoked them before I froze them, but I'm not positive. I may have just cut them in half and put them in the freezer. Are you looking for any pepper in particular? Tim Sorry, I just realized you said to e-mail you. This post was edited by peppernovice on Tue, Apr 15, 14 at 14:56

I think what you need to do is figure out a price for each item and then add them up. I sell doll clothes on ebay and sometimes they go for as little as $3.00 each but sometimes much higher so it is hard to say but I would figure out what I thought each item would sell for and then just add them up for a total.... Did you have a particular pattern that you used or is this an original..Was it a cloth doll?....It sounds adorable.

We have a clearance shelf at our local grocery store too, but I find lots of great bargains there at greatly reduced prices. I purchased a 12-pack of Quilted Northern - which was regularly $8.99 and I found it on the clearance rack for $4.49 AND I had a $1.00 off coupon so I spent $3.49 for 12 rolls of TP - WOO HOO!

I also get off-season things there. Just loaded up with canning items at 75% off. Lots of herbs/spices are greatly reduced. They'll have hats/caps and gloves/mittens towards the end of winter and I'll buy those up and give them to the "needy" the next year. We have "mitten trees", rescue mission, Catholic charities, or schools can distribute them. There's always a need for those.
