I bought a cute purse at an estate sale – months later I looked in the pocket, I know exactly what this woman was like
A BARGAIN shopper revealed the contents of a purse she bought at an estate sale.
A discovery in the thrifted bag told her everything she needed to know about its previous owner.
The estate sale fan (@estatesalefreaks) shared the thrift shopping haul in a viral TikTok video.
Though she had purchased the purse at an estate sale months ago, she explained that she hadn’t gotten a chance to use it yet.
After switching out another bag, she finally tried it on for size for the first time.
After putting her belongings in the purse’s main compartment, she explained that she had wanted to put more stuff in a zipped-up inner pocket.
She unzipped the pocket to reveal a precious cargo the bag’s previous owner had left behind.
“Inside is the most Splenda you’ve ever had,” she said, laughing as she held up packets of the sugar substitute.
“You know exactly what this woman was like, the Splenda-hoarding woman. I love her. Thank you so much.”
She added that anyone who needed anything sweetened for the “next ten years” should let her know.
People agreed that the Splenda packets were a sweet informant of the previous owner’s personality.
Many said the video reminded them of their loved ones.
“My sister and I like to sneak sugar/Splenda packets into my mom’s purse when we go out to eat,” said one commenter.
“Oh, you must have gotten one of my mom’s old bags,” joked another.
“Every Sunday after church, we went to the same breakfast spot, and my grandmom had us go around every table and swipe the strawberry jam packets,” said a third.
“My Granny Fern. Thanks for the memory,” said a fourth.

Fans of the show Friends were reminded of an iconic scene from the series.
“There was an episode of Friends where Ross found his grandmother’s packets in a shoebox that fell from a closet after she passed,” said one commenter.
“Instantly thought of that episode!” said another.
“Ross and Monica’s grandmother! Althea!” said a third.
