A woman has revealed how she makes a full-time living simply by 'flipping' cheap products she finds at Marshalls.

Caitlin, who lives in Georgia, has claimed she makes tens of thousands of dollars buying commercial goods from big-box stores in her area and reselling them through Amazon for profit.

In a new TikTok, the savvy shopper has explained how she goes specifically to Marshalls to find cheap makeup and beauty products that fetch a higher resale value through the Amazon sellers marketplace. 

'My full-time job is flipping stuff and selling it online,' she declared at the outset of the video. 'So let's see what I can find at Marshalls.'

Get savvy! Caitlin's re-selling tips

  • The Scoutify app lets you compare products on clearance shelves with the going price on Amazon to help you calculate your profit
  • Become familiar with popular brands (e.g. 'anything with Barbie on it,' Caitlin suggests) to spot what items have the most potential re-sell value
  • Apply to become sales-tax exempt at your go-to retailers to save money on your initial purchases

 

For each item she considered, Caitlin began by scanning the product's barcode in an app called Scoutify.

It instantly returned information about the going rate on Amazon and calculated the profit against Marshalls' clearance pricing. 

First up on the content creator's shopping list was a Kiehl's Super Multi-Corrective Eye Opening Serum. 

On Amazon, the product is listed for $59.95 - but on the shelf at Marshalls, it was only $20 - giving Caitlin a net profit of just over $27.

Caitlin's second find was a Too Faced Brow Wig Brush On Brow Gel in Espresso. 

'I always know how to spot a good brand,' she said of the find by the viral makeup label.

'These sell really, really well on Amazon.'

On Amazon, the product was listed for $24.18 - and again, at Marshalls, it was priced at only $9.99. So Caitlin would make roughly just under $7 in profit.

Caitlin's third and final discovery on her documented shopping trip was a Barbie-branded flat iron in pink by CHI Haircare.

'I always make sure to scan anything with Barbie on it!' she emphasized.

On Amazon, she found it listed for $109.99 - yet at Marshalls, it was priced at $59.99 - making the potential profit for Caitlin $27.27.

She added that she was 'tax exempt at Marshalls' so she didn't have to pay sales tax on her haul.

Marshalls has nearly 1,200 stores in the United States and Puerto Rico, including 41 in Caitlin's home state of Georgia. 

Caitlin is far from the only TikTok user who has shed light on profitable side hustles.

Recently, a man who goes by Side Hustle Realist discussed how people specializing in vocations including tailoring, shoemaking and dry cleaning 'are literally disappearing' - thereby making it a great time to get into any of those lines of work.

Others have taken to dumpster diving in hopes of recovering valuable consumer goods that have been discarded by retailers for any number of reasons.

A man from Kent claims to find upwards of $1,200 worth of products per week in the dumpsters of stores like B&M.

'It's criminal what they're doing,' he bemoaned of the amount of things in perfectly usable condition he's recovered from the trash. 

Elsewhere, in the American locale of Baltimore, Maryland, a woman has claimed to have found in the range of $2 million in discarded consumer goods over two decades of dumpster diving outside of major retailers.
