Spring is finally here although the Outer Banks Temperatures seem to not be able to make up it’s mind! Before the weather gets too warm, now is a great time to do a deep cleaning and declutter of your OBX home. Here are some great tips on ways you can save and make money from spring cleaning:
Sell your old stuff
As you clean out your closet, make a pile of those clothes that no longer fit, or you are just ready to part ways with. Then sell them. Take them to a consignment shop, or better yet snap a picture and list them for sale via a consignment app such as OBX yard sales on Facebook. Not into consignment, hold a yard sale on your own or with the entire neighborhood. Neighborhood yard sales gain a lot of attention, a lot of bargains hunters and result in a lot of cash.
Refresh what you already have
In some cases, it doesn’t have to be out with the old a din with the new during spring cleaning season. Try giving a facelift to the décor you already have. Paint your dressers a bold new color, or sand down and stain y0our dining room table. Choosing to refurbish instead of purchasing new will surely save you lots of money.
