    Dumpster diving. That used to be MY thing! Now I gotta compete with every Bryson and Zayden for rock hard scones and the least soggy Gruyère and prosciutto muffin. Poverty sucks.

      Thrifting as well in the last year. I used to be able to walk into a thrift, drop $60, and with a little bit of work and repair and cleaning I could turn that into $300 resale

      I haven’t had a profitable find at a thrift store in 6 months. I haven’t found anything at thrift that’s even worth looking at.

        That’s real. There’s also an antique shop by me that I regularly see exact items I’d seen at goodwill being sold for double the price.
