Thrift w/ me: I spend $6.21!!

 I should not have gone thrifting.

I should not have gone thrifting.

I should not have gone thrifting.

I found $6 in my purse and I went thrifting to my favorite place hoping that they stocked the books. The shelves were miserably empty, but I didn't want to waste my trip and went around looking for treasure. Hopefully I can sell one of these items to make my money back from this thrift.

Probably the most expensive was the Tommy Hilfinger skirt. I got it because (1) brand name (2) style (3) back to school occasion. This was $3.


This next piece I'm pretty sure is handmade / DIY but it's lovely. It's a large candle jar with a cork lid, and someone glued a stone gardenia. Gardenias is my favorite flower. It was .50 cents. I don't know if I will sell this because it costs a lot to ship. I couldn't resist for .50 cents.

It's perfect for all my book stickers.



I grabbed this vintage metal tin, a teacher probably used it for cards. It was .25 cents and I planned on keeping it for myself for my Magic Cards. 



I wonder if this Winnie the Pooh Christmas mug will do good. I got the mug for .25 cents. Maybe if I can find a cute Winnie the Pooh stuffed toy and book I can make a cute gift bundle. 



This plaid wallet had such grunge vibes. It looked fairly new, and it was a Mundi Safe Keeper mini billfold wallet which has identity theft protection. For .50 I thought it would be a small easy flip with school around the corner.



i got myself an ACCO black hole puncher. This was $1 and I need one for my journal projects. Or maybe I'll list it I don't know. Looks like I came out and got a bunch of little knick knacks for me and I'm trying to get better at not impulse buying.

Listing Challenge: I listed like Daily Refinement for A Week

 Daily Refinement says you can make $100 a day if you list 5 items that will make you $20 profit. I really like how he puts this into perspective, plus, this challenge motivates you to list items that are worth your time. It's October 1st, and I need to list 5 items! Already the challenge of having enough to source at that high value is evident. All my items I got for free or have been in my closet for a long time. I also want my main focus to be Ebay and Mercari.  The first item I listed was this rare, vintage y2k denim overbust shrug bolero. I got this years ago when I started shopping on Poshmark for myself. Or maybe it was Vinted. I don't remember. I have this listed at $85 depop/ mercari /  The second item was a pair of black leather boots, brand new they ran a little big for me but I think they would go great for cosplay as well as casual wear.  I have these priced at $55. depop / mercari / ebay  Next was a pair of Nautica jeans. Not sure how well this siz...
