Adam Rich+FollowFound a stack of old Venezuelan bills in a thrift store suitcase ✌️😄 ➡️ 👋🙄I picked up some luggage at Goodwill and felt a lump inside the lining. Opened it up and there was this whole stack of Venezuelan bolívares. Some look pretty old and worn, others are in better shape. No clue how long they have been in there or if they are worth anything now, but it was such an unexpected find. Kind of makes you wonder about the places this suitcase has been and the people who owned it before. #ThriftFinds #Goodwill #UnexpectedFinds #TravelStories 8927Share

Thrifting isn’t just about saving money; it’s about reducing waste and giving items a second life. While some still score amazing deals—like a $1.99 KitchenAid mixer—rising prices could change the game. What matters most to you: saving money, convenience, or helping the planet?
