Cleaning House

This is a how-we-save post but also a how-we-get-rid-of-crap post :)

My fiancé was a mechanic for years and still does a decent amount of work on cars.  He decided to clean out the garage and managed to get together a large pile of scrap metal in the process: broken lamps, old filing cabinets, lots of car (and moped!) parts, and an old toolbox.  He took all this to the local metal recycling business and earned $28.70 – and cleaned out the garage in the process!

For us it can be hard to get in clean-out mode, but as others have mentioned on this blog before, it can be easier than you think to earn some money from “stuff” that is no longer valuable to you.  We have been in full-on eBay mode as well, posting broken televisions, cameras, etc. to generate some spare change.

I hope the scrap metal tip will be useful to some of you.  I would never have thought of it myself.  Good luck cleaning your house & hopefully making some money in the process!
