I bought a pair of earrings that haven't arrived yet, so this is not a sponsorship; I just can't stop laughing at these pictures!

Any bit of help will be greatly appreciated.

Rich people trash hits differently. 😍🤩

This haul was from last night, I needed milk for dinner and didn't want to have to go back to the store Sunday morning for such a few items.

Disclaimer: the milk was used before I could get a photo in. Lol. Dinner needed to be made and I was hangry.

I really only needed the fruits, veggies, and milk. I have a ton of protein in the freezer and tofu in the fridge, and I still have plenty of carbs such as quinoa, couscous, rice and pasta in my pantry. And I still have russet potatoes from last week.

My husband came with me, because he needed a bucket for his upcoming aquarium project, and left my sight for just a second. He managed to find pie, conchas, and ice cream. He also grabbed the sausage. He spent 15.21 of the 69.27.

The apples and onions will last two weeks, the laundry detergent should last several months, and the dish soap will last a long while as well.

Not my best haul but we'll eat well this week.

Everything is secondhand, except for the pendants and middle chain.

I haven't tested the TV yet, but here's to hoping!

I have an ungodly amount of food in my freezer and pantry. This should last 7 days but could very well last a little bit longer.

From this haul Paulie Alejandro can eat (and loves) apples, cucumber, bell pepper, spinach, mandarin, and will tolerate broccoli.

The night of my mother's funeral my estranged sister gave away all of my mom's jewelry to a relative that we barely knew. The next morning her and my estranged brother had an open house garage sale and got rid of everything that she owned before I could get a uhaul.

I was angry and bitter for a good while, until one day I decided to put my negative emotions into something beautiful. I began my very own gold collection to honor my mom and seek beauty in the world.

I am low income so every piece I own has been hard earned. It may not look like much to some but this is what my hard work looks like. I think my mom would have loved most of these.

Today I am missing her more than usual. So I thought I'd put all my pieces together to see how far I've come.

Everything is 10 or 14 k gold; except for the three necklaces, one ring, and tennis bracelet on the left, those are gold plated.

The citrine ring I bought for myself before I got married, since I've been married I've not worn it because I feel like it clashes with my wedding set. The last picture is my wedding band.

The labradorite ring was a gift from my father in law, given to me after one year of my mom's passing. It's 9 k gold and half a size too big. Is 9k worth getting resized?

The cubic zirconia ring was purchased at a goodwill in a random mixed bag, I've worn it a few times but since I've gotten married I haven't worn it except to protests. Lol. It's a big ole ring and hurts 👊🏽🤣

How would you mix these with daily wear or are these too gaudy? SOS.

I squealed when I saw this gaming chair. It looks almost new, and the covers come off and can be washed!

I went shopping last night to see how it differs from Sunday morning, produce was slim pickings but clearance was abundant.

Bread, cheese, and burritos will last the month.

Tortillas will last two weeks.

Granola bars and snacks will last a very long time, I also give snacks and treats every first Monday of the month to the gents that pick up the trash and recycling.

Trash bags will last months.

Coincidentally, I was going to clean all the trash cans in my house today.

today's finds:

a functional simplehuman trashcan, a woven magazine basket, faux ficus plants, an outdoor table which is missing the glass, a tent with everything in it which I'll be testing for leaks when I clean it, and a small side table. :)
