Turn Catalinas Into Cash

Got a Bunch of Catalinas You Can't Use?
Put Em on Ebay!
Recently, every time I went in to Target, the Catalina (randomish coupon printing machine at the checkout) would spit out one or two coupons (manuf) for $5 off ANY PediaSure product coupons.  
 
I worked the "Try Me Free" rebate (and made $5 in profit) about a month ago. My kids did not dig the PediaSure SideKicks drinks. So, I almost threw these 4 $5 off coupons out. But then, I searched Ebay on a whim to see if folks buy these.  And guess what? They do.

As coupons are general and it is the information on them that is important, I did a Free Ebay Listing for my time to collect and list and then mail the PediaSure coupons.  I did not even take the time to take and post a picture. Why bother? It doesn't matter what they look like, and I have positive feedback ratings as being honest... so I just made a quick and easy listing describing the coupons. I started them at 75c +S/H.  They got bid up to $1.25 + S/H.  Ok, so that isn't a LOT of money. But it took less than five minutes to list them.  And, that is $1.25 more than I had two days ago.  If I did this every week, I would bring in about $52 a year (after Ebay/PayPal fees) on items that I would otherwise throw out.
 
It all adds up.
