If you love wandering around flea markets and thrift shops, you will probably be an expert who can sniff out great deals, right? The subject of this story is a woman who is passionate about vintage clothes and items, and who never misses an opportunity to go to a flea market. At these markets, you can get great bargains, buying, for example, a painting or a bag for a good price. Martha spotted a beautiful bag for a bargain price, and seized the opportunity. She still didn't know just what a bargain her purchase would be ...

Martha is one of those people who loves to stroll through the stalls of a flea market looking for bargains. Knowing the time and place of the next flea market event is the specialty of these people. One day, Martha found a nice bag at a great price: £6.99 pounds, or around 8 euros. She was happy with how the bag looked and she decided to buy it. Once back home, Martha knew she would have to clean the bag up a bit as, although it was in good condition, it needed a a bit of a wipe down. This is when Martha realized she had stumbled upon a windfall.

The woman began to clean the outside of the bag first, then moved on to the inside. Here, she got a surprise: at the bottom of the bag, well hidden in a side pocket, there was an envelope containing cash. The envelope had writing on the outside and contained £ 300 in cash. Martha, who posted a video about this story on her TikTok channel, read the writing the envelope. The old owner had chosen to hide the money, a sort of bequest, in the bag: "I chose to use this bag because my children don't want it. With this money, go and buy yourself a new bag". And since those were the wishes of the previous owner, Martha gladly accepted the cash.

Do you now have a sudden desire to go and look for bargains at a flea market?
