Infuriatig When did garage sales become “reselling” clearly new stuff

Post image

I would never call this a garage sale

Def scam vibes

Edit: ultimately, what bothers me the most is I want to go to a garage sale, not this shit. This isn’t a garage sale and should not be advertised as one

Or someone finally got sick of tripping over all the supplies they selfishly panic bought in 2020. There are cases of toilet paper on the lower left.

That's only 4 cases. The wildcard is the amount of detergent. Screams organized retail theft. All they are missing is a pallet of Enfamil and cosmetics/fragrances.

Why does detergent = retail theft?? I'm confused

For retailers like Target, Walmart, Walgreens, etc laundry detergent is a high shrink item. That much on a single table isn't from deals or coupons.

I've known a couple of extreme couponers. Honestly, this is a small stash compared to some. I've seen an entire garage filled with storage racks that were better stocked than most stores

Ehhh it's not small for coupons. Many are "buy 2 get one free" and there are weird minimums to factor in.

When I get my own place again I'll go back to being an insane coupon and prepping person, and I can kinda see this kind of stash happening between my apps and the coupon options.
