Well, I had my garage sale. I only made $30.00. I placed an ad, but there was a garage sale up the road from me that didn't. I believe when the people were coming to mine they thought that one was it, and didn't venture further down the road. 
This one was a far cry from my last one where I made $600.00. Bummer.
With all the work involved, I don't think I will do it again. It's just a lot easier donating and getting a tax write-off.
Adding $30.00 to the challenge, bringing the total to $2236.00.
On another note, I went to CVS yesterday to get the Folgers and Tide that were on sale. If you buy $20.00 worth, you get a free case of water. They were out of coffee, so I asked the mgr. for a rain check, and asked if I get the free water now or when I purchase the coffee. She got all defensive on me saying the $20.00 purchase had to be made TODAY!!! I replied that the Folgers and Tide were all that I wanted, and that it wasn't my fault they were out of coffee. She said it doesn't make a difference! I will call corporate Monday and see what they say. This new mgr. is bad news. Even the employees have voiced to me that she is unbearable.
My DD leaves for church camp tomorrow. We still have a lot to do to prepare. She is really looking forward to going.
Disappointed

Well, you are $30 ahead - after all the work and effort though, it is disappointing. I find it easier to cart things off and keep receipts for tax time.
