Breville toaster oven, in perfect shape, for $25. That’s around $300 off.

Rang up at about $17 due to a sale.

My best haul was a Janome sewing machine which retailed around $1800 for $30. I think someone had priced it for a friend or themselves because it was on a bottom shelf behind other items despite being on the shelf for under an hour. I went back 2 days later and got the extension table for another $8.

Breville is such a good brand. Not very well known in the USA since they're an Australian brand. Kinda expensive, but very high quality.

I found a 40-inch 1080p TV for only 20 bucks at the thrift store, I've been using it for a year now and it's great!

I got a 28" 4K monitor for $50 and a 55" 4K Roku TV also for $50 (not at the same time). The Roku needs replacement lights on one side and I haven't done that yet.

4K is actually such a steal. If my tv ever breaks down, that's exactly what I want to upgrade to (and hopefully something thrifted)
