Five Frugal Things -- Let's Hit The Bins!

It's been a few weeks since I stopped by the pay-by-the-pound Goodwill bins to stock the shelves for my $100 Goodwill Gift Card Challenge. As always, my goal was to choose the lightest of lightweight items, in order to stretch the card as much as possible.

I spent $8.74 on nine items to resell.

These Rothy's flats were pretty dirty, but any reseller worth their salt knows that they can go through the washing machine. Plus, they weigh almost nothing, so this one was a no brainer!

I'm asking $80 on eBay, which is how much this style is currently selling for. Click HERE.

I also grabbed this jewelry box, as I recognized the signature "Tiffany blue" color amongst the detritus. Again, the goal is desirable, yet lightweight items.

I put together an eBay listing asking $50 and woke up to a $45 offer, which I happily accepted!

Apparently, yesterday was my day to find Tiffany & Co. items, as I also found this pair of prescription glasses. You might think that people don't buy other people's old glasses, but you would be wrong, as you can pay an optometrist to put your own prescription into secondhand frames.

Lightweight? Absolutely! Click HERE to see the eBay listing.

I also grabbed a Tiffany bag, even though it was in rough condition.

I also bought:

• A Honeywell fan remote control. Click HERE to see the listing.
• A Cole & Mason pepper grinder. Click HERE to see the listing.
• A Box of Bob reader reader books. I'll take these to Powell's Books.
• A Rihanna Savage X Fenty knit cap. Click HERE to see the listing.
• A pair of Patagonia pants that sadly fell apart in the wash. They maybe weighed three ounces, so I'm not too upset about it.
• A Pixies concert T-shirt, which is currently waiting to be washed.

What didn't I buy? Well . . . hundreds of thousands of different items, specifically these mugs. Hard no!

Hopefully I'll make three hundred or so dollars from these finds, which will be donated to the Oregon Food Bank.

I also bought some things for myself, both to keep and to sell, but I'll share that in another blog post.
