Carolyn saw this at a community yardsale, and she thought of her babysitter. When Clint got back to the car, he thought of Matthew.

BACKSTORY: Yard sale summary: a total of 5h3m hours (AGAIN?!) (3h24m spent driving, 1h39 spent at sales). Spent .25 plus ~.52 gas for 56.6 miles of driving (14 mpg @ .84/G), for a total cost of .77. We drove to 40 yard sales, stopping at 25 (62%) of them. We made 17 purchases (31 items) for a total estimated value of 0.02, leading to a profit/savings of 8.25.
So in essence, we multiplied our initial investment by 7.6X.
(Also, if you think about it, the profit counts for even more when you consider that we have to earn 7 on the job, pre-tax, in order to take home the 8 in cash that we saved here. How long does 8 of disposable income take to earn, vs the 5 hrs we spent here?)
Anyway, this works out to a *post-tax* "wage" of .10/hr as a couple or .55/hr per person.
