Do you want to live a comfortable and well-scented life but are too damn poor to afford it?
Welcome to the Bai Xue method.
1) find out the poshest areas within easy travelling distance to you
2) use Google to find their local charity shops/goodwills/resale shops
3) go forth and get yourself some soaps and candles, babes
(nota bene: this works best within the month or so after major a gift-giving holiday like Christmas, Mothers' Day, or Valentine's Day)
Y'all have no idea how much really good quality shit posh people will just dump at a charity shop without a second thought. I started doing this when I was a brokeass college student in the US and I'm still doing it as a brokeass adult in the UK. You can get bath bombs and soaps and candles for jack shit.
Pictured, just from a quick five minute stop:
A 9-piece bath set (£4)
A 2-piece soap set (£2)
A 5-box incense set (£1.50)
A real cute notebook (£1.50)
Total: £9, which is just over $11 USD
I paid less than $12 to be set for the next two months with fancy ass soaps.
