My wife and I try to do a major donation run every couple of months. We’re not quite Marie Kondo but we do our best to keep our house simple and uncluttered (although it doesn’t help that we’re always thrifting). During one of our latest purchases my wife and I debated for quite a while …
Arbitrage and flipping products for profit entail finding undervalued items to sell them at a reasonable price. My wife and I went crazy when we first discovered a Goodwill Outlet near us where we could buy a huge amount of clothing by the pound (as well as other goods). However, what’s better than paying for …
My wife and I are terrible at keeping track of gift cards. For some reason, we always tick them “somewhere safe” and then forget about them. This is especially true for prepaid Visa cards. If I have an IHOP gift card I think of it when I see IHOP. Nothing jogs my memory about Visa. …
Buying a used Louis Vuitton bag or purse is a gamble. At least, it is if you’re new to the market and haven’t bought, handled, or owned many Louis Vuitton items. However, even if you are familiar with the brand, finding a good deal on a used Louis Vuitton is a balancing act of patience, …
Mystery boxes have always been exciting to me. The excitement of something choosing random (possibly extremely valuable) items and mailing them to me is just about the same as discovering a treasure chest. Or a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get. I was super excited a month ago to learn …
The first time I went to the Goodwill Outlet I was over the moon. The idea of paying $.99 per pound for anything I could find sounded simply too good to be true. I scratched my way to the front of dozens of bins and soon filled my cart. Unfortunately, I only had 60lbs of …
When it comes to thrift stores, not much can compare to the Goodwill Outlets. For both the good and the bad (disgusting, actually). The thrill of finding amazing things for dirt cheap, the competition with a dozen other bargain-crazy people, and the potential to flip your finds for a healthy profit. But even if you’re …
If you’re looking for great thrift shop deals but can’t find any good options in your area or if you’ve searched the ones in your area enough times and would like something new, you may want to consider visiting an online thrift store. Even though there are a dozen thrift stores within an hour of …
We’re always down to visit some alternative thrift stores so when someone mentions that somewhere new has opened up we’re first in line to check in out. A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine mentioned that a new thrift store was opening up about 5 minutes from my house. I’m usually in the …
I used to think that I liked Ross…and then one opened up just down the road. Now, every time we need something it’s “we should run to Ross” rather than “we should run to Goodwill”. I have to say, Ross and Goodwill are hardly interchangeable. First of all, one is a thrift store and the …
