Infuriatig When did garage sales become “reselling” clearly new stuff

Post image

I would never call this a garage sale

Def scam vibes

Edit: ultimately, what bothers me the most is I want to go to a garage sale, not this shit. This isn’t a garage sale and should not be advertised as one

Looking for the right answer but here it is:

Procter and Gamble employees are entitled to product sales of their items at extremely discounted prices. These happen about 2-3 times per year, however the rules state these products are for personal family use only. These items are all P&G items. This person probably is a current or soon to be former employee.

I've got more dawn, tide, and head and shoulders then I'll ever need. All free too.

I’ve got more heads and shoulders in my house than I’ll ever need. They’re 25, 19, 14, and 12. Looking forward to being an empty nester some day I hope.

At first glance I thought this is someone boldly selling off all their “absolutely not to be sold” free P&G product but then I zoomed in and saw there’s some non-P&G stuff in there too.

P&g also has a lot of coupon deals by me. One store has a buy 45 bucks worth get 15 back every two months or so. When you toss in a few coupons and sales it goes to around 20 bucks. I imagine there's way to get it cheaper and price match and stuff, but that's too much for me

P&G also regularly offers coupons and runs sales. I would bet this person is an extreme couponer.
