Hope that everyone remembered to report back into work today because Thanksgiving was last week! Well wherever you are or whatever you are currently doing, your Odessa/Midland Thrifty Nickel would like to thank you for reading this terrific blog. We hope to keep providing you with quality content so that every time you think Thrifty Nickel, you think amazing.

Do you work all night and then sleep all day? Or maybe you wake up at dawn and then work in the oilfields for twelve hours straight? Well whatever your reason, Thrifty Nickel knows that it can be hard to come see us during business hours. We know that a lot of you don’t have any downtime to give us a call because you need to sell your old antique clock. Fear not my hard working friends because there is a better way! I’m talking of course about www.ourthriftynickel.com! We’ve streamlined it so that you can place your ads online and pay for them over a secure connection. It’s quick and easy so quit making excuses and sell that old clock already!

If you’re not like our previous paragraph’s hypothetical customer and have more then just a clock to sell, then maybe you should have a garage sale. They are on of the easiest ways to sell lots of goods and meet all your neighbors in the process. Just having a garage sale isn’t always enough because you need to make sure people actually show up. Your neighbors might be nice but when it comes to autographed baseball cards then might be as frugal as they come. That’s why you need to advertise! Every single week people trust Thrifty Nickel to advertise their sales so that they know people will show up and buy everything they don’t want anymore.

So make the smart decision like these intelligent people did this week:

–       CHURCH WIDE Garage Sale. Saturday only Open 8:00 am- 2:00 pm. Alley behind 3736 Crestview Drive, entrance off of Maple. Hide a bed sofa, men’s Wranglers, lots of miscellaneous.
