Kijiji

In the past month or so, I have made upwards of 500 bucks in stuff I have sold on Kijiji. Not any big ticket items either. I think the most expensive thing I sold was a baby swing for the 75 bucks I paid for it. Lots of old Lululemon stuff and brand name clothes that I will never wear again. My new favourite pastime is scouring the house for things I don't use that would sell well on Kijiji. For anyone who has been living under a rock, Kijiji is a local buy and sell website which is very popular in Saskatoon. Awesome for baby and kids stuff, most of it is barely used and about half the price. I highly suggest this for anyone on maternity leave and on a tight budget!

I have used my Kijiji money to buy more stuff. But new things that I actually want. Like my iPhone.....amazing. I stood in line on Friday morning with 4 phone geeks to get it. They were chatting to each other about how they were "so ready to upgrade from their current iPhone" and some other technical mumbo-jumbo that was waaay over my head. Phone geeks....sheesh. The only reason that I figured I should probably jump on the bandwagon is that my contract just ran out with Telus. I learned my lesson when signing into a 3 year contract to get the best phone possible. My old phone was being held together with hockey tape and would only send texts to certain people so it was definitely time for an upgrade. I have just started to scratch the surface when it comes to buying apps for my phone and learning everything that it can do.

My other new favourite thing is Google reader. I could spend hours on the computer subscribing to different news feeds and getting caught up with the latest. Again, for anyone living under a rock, it puts all of your websites in one place. That is a very poor description so you should check it out for yourself. Go to Google and at the top where it says more, go to Reader. I highly suggest subscribing to the Staff Picks, WebUrbanist, Pink is the new Blog (Celebrity news) and local stuff like CBC and the Star Phoenix. My newest subscription is a blog called Bakerella, a girl who makes really awesome cupcakes, cakes, etc. Here is a link to my shared site, where I can share awesome stuff I find with my Facebook friends, etc:

Well just got a call from another Kijijier coming to look at one of my items. That's all for now.
