I think you’d have to work awful darn hard.
You’d also have to be willing to wear other people’s clothing (after they’re done), own a car that stops at yard sales, have a nose that smells ‘true value’ and be born with the reduce - reuse - recycle gene.
(Not everybody has that gene, you know).
So, stop and compare.
[As far as memory serves, the first three are my most recent bargains].
Land of the Eagle: A Natural History of North America - $4 - flea market
Levis - $15 - Village of Values
Montreal Canadiens jersey - $5 - Village of Values
Model VW van - $2 - Ingersoll flea market
LP album (Bob Dylan Highway 61 Revisited) - The Village Idiot - $10
Three-quarter size Norman guitar - from my mother-in-law - $100
Beatles CD (Abbey Road) - Dr. Disc - $4
1984 Yamaha Virago 1000cc motorcycle - Lightning Sports - $2,995
Denim jacket - Village of Values - $7 (for motorcycle rides)
Brown leather jacket - Value of Villages - $10 (for more motorcycle rides)

If you don’t include a motorcycle you should have a chance!
