Hold a garage sale
Sometimes summers can drag on. If you're getting bored, try organizing a garage sale with your friends!
On the day of the sale, meet everyone at the house with the best location. Set up some tables, put out price tags, display your wares and get ready to make your fortune! (Don't forget to deposit some of your loot in your
Desjardins Chromatic Savings Plan. You could double your savings through the "
I max my savings!" contest.

Here are a few sites that you can use to turn your moments of summer ennui into a profitable virtual garage sale (with your parent's permission, of course). The cool thing about selling online is that you can do it all from the comfort of your
air-conditioned home!
