See What Was In My Bags #10 Thrift Haul All Under $1



See What Was In My Bags #10 All Under $1

Hello.....  Hope that everyone is doing well.  I am back again with another thrift haul.  The items that I will be showing you were all priced under $1.00 with the exception of one which I will show you at the end of this blog.  All of these items were thifted from Goodwill and/or other various thrift stores in my area.  There is one thrift store in particular in my area that run frequent specials of 50 cents on select women's clothing.  Let me get right into it.......  


Brenda French hand loomed Knit Top
The necklace was just a little added bonus to give you an idea how this top could be styled.  I like styling things.  I did write in my description in caps, NOT INCLUDED! 




J Jill Top (Plus Size)




 
CAbi Plus Size Top 




J Crew Linen XL Top 


7th Avenue New York & Company Sz 14



Old Navy Khaki Pink Flamingo Shorts 




Kingdom Couture Disney Parks Top 




Eileen Fisher 1X Top 




Jou Jou XXL Vest 




Nike Serena Tennis Dress




Mad About Scrubs
I couldn't resist this .50 cent scrub top the print was different and the size was all the reasons I decided to pick this one up.  This top is a 2XL. 




Skin Gear Leather Trench.  Would you believe I only paid .72 cents for this coat.  Yes you read it right less than $1.  Yesterday I decided to stop at a local church thrift store in my area and they were having the monthly special fill a bag for $5 on all clothing items.  I walked away with two bags and this beautiful coat was inside one of my bags.  I wish you all could have seen me rolling and tucking the corners of this coat to make it fit inside the bag.  I have already listed this coat and I will update you on the final sold price. 


Mac + Jac Vest 

So all the items above were all less than $1 each.  It is so wonderful to be able to source with prices like these.  With clothes being a heavy hitter in the market, I don't like to spend a wholke lot of money on them.  Some pieces can sit a lot longer than others.  There is no way that I would want to make a huge investment and not see the turn around sooner than later.  So with clothes I like to stay in my comfort zone when spending unless I know for sure that it is definitely a quick and easy flip.  


The COMFORT ZONE TALK:
I am willing to source any and everything but I will admit I am a little reluctant to list it once I get it home.  That is my biggest problem.  However I would like to pat myself on the back and say I am getting better and that is one my goals every month.  Get it listed!  I bought 3 bags of plush each bag costing $1.07 for a total of $3.21
 I have listed all the plush from the bags that I decided to keep.  The others I plan on donating to a local thrift store.   So let's see what I picked up.....


1st up....
Mary Meyer Fuzz that Wuzz, Wooffzz Dog these sell for around $17 dollars.  There wasn't one exactly like this one listed.  I actually had 3 of these, but two of them had ink marks on them from the pricing pen at the thrift store so I decided against trying to clean them and just kept this one.  I am horrible about cleaning things like this.  If you know of any ideas and or solutions that I could purchase to help clean plush please let me know in the comments below.  


Caltoy, hand puppets.  These were in one bag.  I looked them up individually and the red lobster was selling for around $4.99.  I decided to list them as a lot.


Manhattan hand puppets Thought these were really cute and fairly easy to list. 



Mary Meyer Marshmallow Owl, I found 4 of these all throughout the three bags.  Each one still has the tag on them.  I think I have these listed for around $16.99 as well.  So if they all sell just on these four alone that would be $67.96.



Jellycat Ltd Hippo.  Had no idea what jellycat was until I got home and did some research.  

And this last little guy was TY beanie Vegas the Zebra.  Doesn't sell for an extreme amount of money.  I decided to list him anyway since he is so cute.  

So yayyyy to me I am getting better at listing items that I usually don't normally feel are in my comfort zone.  Honestly they aren't hard to list and photographing is quite easy.  So if you are like me just take the plunge and go for it.



So this last item I want to show you I have had for months.  I mean it has literally just been hanging on a hanger in my laundry room.  I don't have any clue as to why it took me so long to list it but I finally did.  There are several listed and that's fine by me.  There is some yellowing to the white area on this jacket consistent with age but overall it is pretty cool.  
I have this up for a competitive price and also free shipping, so hopefully it will do pretty good.  This was at the thrift store on 1/2 off day.  It was originally priced at $3.95, I paid 1/2.  





Last but not least....
I purchased this dress from an estate buy out.  After doing some calculations, each item was only about .42 cents.   When I originally listed this dress I listed it for $69.  In the first day I had 3 watchers and I instantly said change the price.  But change it to what?  Initially I priced it based on the solds.  I changed the price to $99 with best offer option.   In less than a week it sold for my full asking price .  You just don't never know.  If you have that gut instinct to go higher then go higher because you can always go lower.  


I hope that everyone is reaching their own personal goals whether it is in work (business) or your personal life.  Even in the hard times we must not give up or give in.  Falling seven times and standing eight times.  Making the good out weigh the bad!

***Happy Thrifting***

Thanks for reading!!!

  1. Try WD40 to remove ink stains in plush. I used it to successfully remove blue crayon from a cloth faced doll. It does stink though!

    1. After using you don't have an odor on the plush?

  2. I read about the this awesome product called Biz. In liquid form. I didn't believe it but it cost $5 so I gave it a shot. I managed to completely removed permanent sharpie writing on a plush. It took 3 washes and had to soak for 2 days the last time but it completely came off! Totally worth it!
