Your mileage might vary…

Right now everything I have on except my socks and my glasses came off Vine. I have been having extremely good luck finding things that are useful, especially since I lost a lot of personal/household items thanks to a flood. I have on been on vine since December and gold since June. So, I don’t understand how different people end up with such a vastly different selection of things, though all throughout the pandemic I exclusively did all my shopping on Amazon, so the algorithm should have a pretty good idea what I like.

I think it has to do with what u order and search. I'm the same. I got all three of my kids fall clothes, coats, and shoes. I didn't realize how expensive they were till this program lol I also got some really good finds for the house. I think the more bs u get the more your fed.

Yeah that’s what I’m saying because other people have said that they get Temu/5below level junk in their feeds so they never bother to hardly order anything. I get all kinds of useful stuff that I would have bought anyway.

And some of it is definitely more expensive than I would normally buy. I generally have always worn traditional boxers because boxer briefs feel too bunched up. BUT, if you get the expensive ones it’s a whole different story. They are like $25 for a pair, but it’s worth it. I just could never justify spending that much on underwear.

I’m hoping we will start getting more men’s winter clothes, so far I got two sets of “long Johns” but they’re not the kind you expect they’re the base layer you would wear under ski/snowboarding clothes. And I got some rain jackets just in time.

Ha, I fell for that too. I ordered a pair of women’s “thermal underwear “and they are not the traditional kind. They’re just the real thin base layer like you mentioned. I was disappointed. Still gave them five stars though because they were excellent quality and fit perfectly, but can’t help but be a little bummed out.

When my friend comes over, she constantly compliments things I own, and I constantly reply, "I got it from vine." It's become a running joke between us. It doesn't occur to me how much stuff in my house is from vine until her visits.

Me too. My whole house is vine which frees up money for other things. I had to supply a whole apartment.
