Make Money at Home!

While browsing around on Ebay, I found a weird way some people make money. Somehow, they get a bunch of Sunday papers. I don't know if they buy them or just get them from friends. Then they cut out all the coupons, package the like ones together, and sell them on Ebay. And people buy them. Why would anybody buy them, you may wonder? Well, listen to this. The big grocery store near me (Kroger) had Hamburger Helper on sale last week for $1/box. I bought about 20 boxes because that is one of the few things my kids are able to cook for supper. Then when I was looking on Ebay, I saw somebody had for sale 20 coupons for $.50 off a box of HH. Kroger doubles all coupons that are less than a dollar, so at Kroger those coupons were really worth $1 off. If I had had those coupons, I would have gotten all 20 boxes for nothing! Right now the lady (or guy) has more HH coupons for sale. The bidding is up to $5.

  1. I saw an auction for a pair of socks worn for one week, sealed in a baggy for freshness. Hmmmm. Gross.
