One used dry bag sold on Facebook Marketplace for $20, and the full amount went to the Oregon Food Bank. The sale was the only item sold in July from a $100 Goodwill gift card challenge; cumulative donations from that card now stand at $825.63.
The dry bag is one of five items in the blog's July 'Five Frugal Things' roundup, alongside a loaf of homemade bread, a Rainbow Rowell short-story collection from the library, two tubes of Trader Joe's hand cream, and two cats. The bread turned out perfectly, the author wrote. The library book came with a ribbon bookmark, described as 'book jewelry' and rare for library copies, and filled a center square on a Powell's bingo card. The hand cream arrived as a gift. The scent was too strong, so the tubes were listed in a Buy Nothing group instead of being thrown away. The cats, Myr and Mama's Little Meatball, are 'fast friends,' and Meatball was caught grooming her little sister.
None of those channels charged a seller fee. Facebook Marketplace handled the dry bag sale. Goodwill supplied the original gift card, and Buy Nothing found a local home for the hand cream. About twenty items remain listed, and the author wrote that they will sell 'in due time.'
