This Bargain-Hunting Mom Wowed The YouTube Community After Snagging Over $2,000 Worth Of Items For Only $250
YouTube sensation Ashley is a relatable mom who is ballin’ on a budget. Her viral channel, Hustle at Home Mom, provides viewers with a peek into her life as both a parent and an eBay seller. And with her amazing finds, they do not call her “Cash-ley” for no reason.
Ashley scours auctions and garage sales to identify products that, if given the right amount of tender, love, and care, hold loads of potential. Then, after cleaning them up, she sells them online to make a profit.
And just last week, Ashley shared one of her greatest hauls yet with the YouTube community.
After rummaging through a garage sale for hours, the seller eventually invited Ashley to their storage unit. She could not turn down a great bargaining opportunity and ventured to the unit.
What she found was the ultimate goldmine.
Ashley first noticed a pair of workout tights made by Athleta. She recalled that they used to go for thirty-five dollars on Amazon and took that as a strong indicator of the unit’s potential.
As she continued searching, another massive gem revealed itself– an Urban Zen utility romper.
While the romper may not appear very extravagant, Ashley’s research found that the original price of the jumpsuit was about one thousand dollars.

All in all, she spent two hundred and fifty dollars on numerous large bags of clothes and shoes.
The bags held countless treasures, including vintage Ralph Lauren tops, a classic Y2K denim vest from Old Navy, and multiple Free People items.
Other notable finds included wearables from popular brands like Lulu Lemon, Patagonia, Eileen Fisher, Vince, LL Bean, and Frame denim.
But, most of Ashley’s excitement surrounded two skirts– one from Johnny Was and the other from Mother Denim.
She believes the Johnny Was skirt could resell for at least fifty dollars, while the Mother Denim skirt could go for one hundred dollars.
She even found great shoes like Sketchers Shape-Ups, Birkenstocks, and Sam Edelmans.
Bargain-hunting is not always a complete slam-dunk, though. Ashley also left with some oddball items, including a collection of graphic tees.
Nonetheless, the YouTuber is confident that she will earn a steep return on her two hundred and fifty dollar investment.
“My low estimate is that I will sell it all for at least two thousand dollars. That’s like twenty dollars an item, and I think I will get a little bit more,” Ashley said.
Her video has already reached over thirty thousand views and spurred hundreds of comments. Countless users thanked the creator for her help in navigating bargain-hunting as a viable option for additional income.
“As a guy, let me just say that you had done more than anyone else on YouTube to help me start identifying brands that will sell. Thank you so much!” commented one user.
“I feel like you are one of the best female role models on YouTube. I am so happy for you and everything you have accomplished this far. You have definitely earned it!” added another supporter.
