A charity shop's latest promotion has gone viral online after a TikTok user showcased its "lucky dip" bags. Customer Becky (@beckysbazaar) bought one of the mystery bags for £2 in the hope it would prove to be a bargain. After recording footage of herself making the purchase , she soon cut open the bag, excited to see what was inside.
Much to her surprise, it contained several goodies with Becky pulling out Bayliss & Harding soap, compression socks and Darceys Luxury Body Lotion first. Those items were followed by AirPod earphones covers, a sign for the home, four lavender bath bombs, a chain belt and what appeared to be several black and blue refills for a Parker pen. "Was it worth £2?" bargain hunter Becky asked her 282,000 followers.
She was soon met by an overwhelming response from other expressing their delight in her buy. "Yes, paper bags cost around £2 now!" one TikTok user joked. Another reported: "The Darceys Lotion is around £12.
99-£15 a bottle." A third person suggested: "Get that belt on Vinted, you'll be surprised." While a fourth commented: "Just two pounds? I would buy all of that.
" However, one person appeared to be somewhat unimpressed. "Not for me," they said. "I'd be donating it straight to another charity shop.
I have too much stuff already!" Becky recently revealed she's made a staggering £100,000 reselling clothes online, meanwhile. She finds old clothes at charity shops and car boot sales and makes up to £3,000-a-month - and says she's made around £100,000 so far in total. The reseller, who lives near Manchester, told DevonLive : "I have turned thrifting into a job.
I make £2,500 to £3,000-a-month on average. I've made over £100,000 in four years. I have always prolonged the life of anything.
"I have always hated throwing away things before they need to be. I would reuse the cardboard from toilet rolls for my dolls.".
