So now could be the perfect time to do a bit of cleaning and earn cash for it at the same time! Just think for a minute about all of that stuff taking up valuable space in your home that you don't ever use.
You just can't be organised in a cluttered home. It saps your time and energy. We’re all so busy but spending just a little time getting organised can free up more time for what you really want to do!
What could you sell?
Take a look around your house and work out if there are any items laying around that you don’t need. A good place to start could be:
- Unused TVs, Hi-Fi, camera or computers
- Sports equipment you used only a few times
- Clothes you’ve outgrown
- Books/videos you no longer watch/read
- Hardly used cooking equipment (blender, bread machine)
- Furniture you no longer use
- Unwanted gifts that they may never have been used
All of it could end up in a household that would put it to use, sticking some money in your pocket at the same time.
Research conducted by insurance comparison service comparethemarket.com shows householders in Britain value the items in their garages at between £501 and £1,000.
How to sell it?
Who needs the hassle of a car boot sale when you can stick an advert online in the comfort of your own home - or in the paper - and all for free?
Place an ad in Loot and you could find yourself advertising your item to thousands of people. Doubt you'd get that from a car boot sale!
So, although we currently live in times of economic instability and financial hardship, with households all over the country struggling to get by from day to day, people still have a great opportunity to get rid of their waste and fill their coffers at the same time.
And all from a little de-clutter...
