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

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

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.
