My favorite apps for bargain hunting.

Hi y'all! Today I'm going to talk about a couple of apps that I love. I hate paying retail for stuff, especially if I can possibly find it cheaper. I've discovered a couple of as that have become part of my bargain hunting addiction.
The first one I'm going to talk about is Poshmark. It is for women's clothing and accessories. You can buy and sell on this app, they take 20% of whatever the item sells for as their feet. They charge the buyer a flat $5.95 shipping and provide a printable label with tracking information for the seller. You can like listings and follow the "closets" of other sellers. Poshmark has a few other cool features such as the "Offer" button where you can submit an offer to the seller on an item. The seller then has 24 hours to accept, deny or counter offer.  Pm has a lot of people selling new with tags name brand clothing cheaper than in stores. My favorite brands are Rock Revival, and Miss Me jeans but I'm not paying retail prices on them. Gently used item are welcome on PM as well. I've gotten some great deals. Go check it out and enter invite code PDARQ during sign up.
The second app, Mercari, is my favorite. In addition to new and gently used clothing,they also allow listings in electronics,home decor,kid's, men's, collectibles and beauty products. Mercari DOESN'T charge anything to sell and the seller can choose whether to offer free shipping or charge the buyer. Items can be sent either FedEx or USPS. The shipping costs vary by weight, and Mercari provides the printable shipping label and tracking info. There is also a category for handmade items. I've gotten some amazing deals on both of these apps. Give them a try, enter invite code GCHSQA at sign up on Mercari for a $2 credit. Mercari also runs promotions for free credits at time, I've actually won some on there and I usually don't win anything. Now, go find some great deals!

Rtic 30 oz tumbler review

I've been wanting to try one of these stainless steel tumblers that are all the rage. I found the Rtic on Amazon ato a good price so I decided to go with it. Let me just say,I love it! I do have to add ice as the day progresses,but I'm drinking sodas that have been outside in my truck and it's hot, so I don't mind having to go get an occasional cup of ice to add in. I don't have a fridge at work. I like the lid,the cup is sturdy and it holds ice better than Styrofoam. It doesn't leave an aftertaste, either. I'd say it's probably on the level with a Yeti, but I'm not going to pay Yeti prices just to compare! The lid seals really well and it doesn't sweat or anything.
