🧺 Cart Confessions: What I Paid vs What It’s Worth
This trip? Straight to the bins.
No racks, no hangers, no “I’ll just browse”—just digging, sorting, and a little bit of chaos at the Goodwill Impact Centre. If you know, you know.
I ended up spending $47.88 for 24 items, which breaks down to about $1.99 per piece.
And honestly… that’s where things start to get interesting.
Here’s what came home with me—what I’m keeping, what I might keep (danger zone), and what’s already heading to my shop.
