Thrift With Me!! // Thrift Shoppe Downtown & Healthy Habits

 It was fill a bag for $10!!

I tried to pick some pieces that would sell. 

Two items I regret picking up. 



 I stayed within the small-medium range. I got 8 pieces so that means my costs of goods were $1.40.

They only accepted cash. I spent too much on fees. $3 fee at the ATM. $2.50 using an out of service ATM. I only had $11 in cash, so I filled a bag thinking about Daily Refinements motto "Buy at $8 sell for $25."

I spent $11 hopping to make $30.


Having A Separate Account for Business


I signed up for a Chime card and set up my side hustle for direct deposit.  sourcing and buying shipping labels today came out of the money I had earned from my latest sales. What a relief! Now I wasn't mixing personal expenses with business expenses. Now I won't overspend. The other financial goal is to set aside money each paycheck to reach the first savings goal: to have one month living expenses.  



Setting Up A Savings Account


Cash App added a Savings Account that makes it easier than ever to start saving. You choose a cute emoji for your savings goal. For no fees, I transferred my first $25 into my savings account. I also added the feature (for free) to add my change to my savings account. 


8 New Listings



1. Pretty Angel Lolita Cardigan XL with crochet and lace trim

Why: style, season, color, materials







2. Eddie Bauer Pullover Knit Hoodie

Why: brand name, basic neutral 








3. Almost Famous skinny jeans (RESELLER REMORSE)

why: Skinny jeans are not in style, brand has low value






4. Sag Harbor maxi skirt blue floral medium

why: style, seasonality, trendy, material








5. Bamboo light wash skinny jeans (RESELLER REMORSE)

why: skinny jeans are OUT. 






6. Rue21 Cinch floral crop top (RESELLER REMORSE)

why: trendy, style, but low resell value and I knew better






7. hot pink barbiecore visor 

why: personal favorite, trendy, color, lightweight shipping




8. Striped Pink long sleeve sweater, cotton size Large

why: trendy, cute, color







All these items were listed on Depop and Mercari.
On Ebay, I only listed #1, #2, #4, #6. 
Pants were a bad buy, I feel like they will sit for years.
I wonder what will be the first to sell?
I'm hoping to make my money back plus $25 in profit.
