Although the bargain hunter was used to browsing for steals in consignment and thrift stores, she was still shocked by the deal of a lifetime.
“The BEST thrift find,” she said.

A few racks over, she even managed to find the matching $95 sweatpants.
Shocked viewers flooded her comments to ask the price that she paid for the clothing set.
“Omg, how were were these?” asked one viewer.
“$9 total,” Jordan revealed, adding an exploding brain emoji to convey her surprise.
Many of her viewers agreed that she had a great thrift trip.
“The way I would simply ascend,” said one envious viewer.
Others wished for the same luck that she had for their future thrift visits.

I found a dupe for Tarte’s $24 lip balm – the cheaper version’s even more pigmented and you can get 3 for the price of 1
A BEAUTY influencer has found a dupe for a cult-favorite Tarte lip product for a fraction of the price.
She did a side-by-side comparison to show how spot-on the makeup dupe was.

Monica (@mangomoniica) shared the beauty find in a video with her TikTok followers.
The influencer compared Tarte’s $24 Maracuja Lip Plump in the shade White Peach with Elf’s $8 Pout Clout in Just Peachy.
“Can you tell which side is the Elf side and which side is Tarte?” she asked.
For a third of the price, the influencer noted that the dupe was a great deal as viewers could pick up three of the Elf lip pens for the cost of just one Tarte product.
“The left one is the Elf in Just Peachy and the right is Tarte Maracuja in White Peach,” she said.
“The Elf looks a lot more pigmented but let me know what you think.”
Her viewers shared their thoughts on the lippie comparison.
“Elf for sure. Very small difference and for the price, definitely Elf!” said one commenter.
“The Elf one looks so much better,” agreed another.
“How is Elf not sued yet?” joked one commenter.
A few viewers took Tarte’s side, explaining that the texture mattered to them.
“I like the Maracuja feeling on the lips better,” said one commenter.

‘A bear chewed my face off – so I ATE it’, says hunter mauled by beast before son punched it allowing him to open fire
A HUNTER who was mauled by a bear has revealed how his son saved his life – by shooting the beast dead and turning it into kebab meat.
The pair had been hunting in a forest in Sweden when a bear hurtled towards Pär Sundström, 42, knocking him to the ground and gnawing on his face.
Pär said that the shots he fired through the bear’s body did nothing to stop the attack, and it was only when his son Evert, 14, karate chopped the enraged animal’s head.
“I got so terribly angry and thought I had to do something,” Evert told Swedish media after the incident.
“I practice karate and I ran forward and hit the bear’s head as hard as I could with my clenched hand. Then I don’t remember anymore.”
Pär compared the ensuing scene to a wrestling match.
He revealed how the bear had turned it’s attention to the teenager – sinking it’s sharp incisors into Evert’s arm and using brute force to throw him around.
Yet, Pär’s resilient son continued to hit the bear over the head with his other arm.
The brutal scene sent shock waves through the wounded father, who was subsequently able to regain control over himself and pick up his rifle.
“I needed to wait for the right sight to shoot, so that Evert wouldn’t be behind the bear and risk being hit,” Pär said.
It was only after Pär tried to take aim that he realised how injured he was.
“It splattered like hell, there was blood everywhere,” he recalled.
The recoil from the shots hit Pär directly in a gaping hole under his right eye, but the shots were effective this time and Evert was able to shake the bear.
The father-son duo were left scrambling to pick up parts of Pär’s face from the forest floor, before Evert called emergency services.
Pär says he is incredibly grateful to have such a wise son, crediting his decision to have him airlifted to hospital for saving his life.
“I’m happy about that today, that I have a very wise son,” he said.
“I think Evert is a hero because I think he saved my life right then and there, simply because he reacted as quickly as he did and tackled the bear.”
Pär was rushed into a 13-hour surgery where doctors were able to reconstruct part of his face by using skin from his thigh.
The pair revealed how they then got the “ultimate revenge”, with Pär describing how they used the bear’s body for kebab meat.
He said: “Stuffing a taco with the meat of a bear that bit me in the face was truly the ultimate revenge in my eyes.
“The meat is dark, coarse, sweet and requires lots of spices. This bear lived mainly on grasses and herbs; the meat is good to eat.”
“If a bear has eaten carrion, it’s not possible to eat. Then the meat smells like surströmming (fermented herring).”
Having frozen the leftovers from their feast, Pär said his family has enough kebab and taco meat to last them months.
This isn’t the first time that a man has wrestled a bear and lived to tell the tale.
Andreas Kieling, 63, told German media how he had been able to escape after protecting his neck when a bear lunged at him.
He added that his top tricks for surviving included not fainting from the agony, and trying not to scream.
“When bears fight among themselves, they quickly react. When one submits, the other quickly lets go of him. That was my luck.”
While an American woman revealed how she was able to escape a savage black bear mauling by using a quilt.
Laurel-Rose von Hoffmann-Curzi, 67, said: “There was a quilt hanging on [a nearby] railing and I threw it over his head.
“It was the only thing that was there and the only thing, in that moment, I could think to do.
“It must have startled him as he turned around and went back down the stairs.”

I DIYed a chic coffee table centerpiece with Dollar Tree buys – they make a big impact & would be great for weddings too
A CRAFTY DIYer has shared the coffee table centerpieces that he made using Dollar Tree buys.
He said not only does the home project bring a table space together but is also great for events like weddings.

He glued together a glass bowl and glasses to create a simple candle holder[/caption]
Rob (@onthecheaptip) shared the simple DIY with over 200,000 TikTok followers.
The self-proclaimed “Dollar Tree MacGyver” explained that he needed a centerpiece for his coffee table.
He headed off to the Dollar Tree to pick up supplies for his project — two glass bowls, a tall glass and a small glass.
“I started by turning the glasses over and applying industrial glue to the bottom and placing the bowls onto the glue,” he said.
“Once the glue was set, I added Dollar Tree river rocks and pillar candles to create this. Chic glass candle holders that were simple to make yet make a big impact on any table.”
He added that with the glass bowls, real candles were safe to use as well as LED candles.
Rob added that the DIY was perfect for events and was an easy cost-effective way to jazz up special moments.
“This is a great idea for wedding or party centerpieces,” he said.
The decorations, he explained, could be swapped out to match whatever occasion you need it for.
“I’m putting together a Valentine’s Day-themed engagement party for my daughter and this will be perfect with pinks and reds and white,” said one commenter.
“You can also add heart confetti or glitter to the glass!” Rob suggested.
“Cute idea! And love love that table!” said another commenter.
