Saving Little Saving Big

We have been experimenting with little things that we can do around our home to save money. Our experiment to see how much money we can save by not flushing the toilet until necessary at a rate of eight tenths of a penny per gallon may seem like a waste of time and energy to some.
We are at this point, because all of the big savings changes have already been made, and we are trying to be creative and find new ways. I find that the BIG savers are quite obvious, however sometimes we can get caught up in our financial troubles and miss the BIG things.
If you need to make more money, not just cut expenses, then I would suggest planning a rummage sale, listing some items on Craigslist, or Ebay and exchanging your trinkets for cash that will pay for essentials like food and heat. I do realize that this is a market where a lot of people are trying to sell and it seems that there are not so many buyers.
But, my first tip for today is to start with sites like Ebay and Amazon: search for the items that you have and are willing to part with. Use the completed listing feature on Ebay and find out who is buying and what they are paying for items like yours. Once you've done a little research, choose the items that are likely to produce the biggest return, and get them up for sale. No one can buy it if you don't list it.
Our experience has been that people are still buying, they are just looking for better deals. Good luck
