April 20th, 2022 at 01:27 amMy uncle is visiting us. We mostly have been eating out (mostly uncle's treat) but really only doing one meal a day. Last night I was hungry for dinner and neither N or uncle was all that interested in a meal. No big deal, we have plent of food at home. I took a look through the pantry and ended up making linguine with pesto, artichoke hearts and black olives. A pot made 4-6 servings and probably cost $7 total. Probably less because I know I used ibotta and Kroger cash back rebates for the pesto, and bought most if not all the ingredients during mystery shops.
My biggest accomplishment today was putting together a hallway storage bench that I got for a mystery shop. I needed to take a picture of it for the report. I am excited to put it up in my room and have some hidden storage.
Yesterday I sold 3 items on Mercari. I took them to the post office today. I will get about $35 for them. One was a mystery shop item I have already been reimbursed for, one was an old video game and the last was a set of patches. Last fall my goodwill had a ton of these patches and I bought about 2,000 of them for $220. I see them for about $5 each. I have already made my money back.
No progress on the apartment. It is my uncle's last day here and I/we will get to work in the earnest after tomorrow. At least we did not spend much today.
