Free is better then cheap

Here are some of my best tips in general. Think it may be helpful.

Stay calm - confidence is key don’t be afraid to just grab something and go. Don’t hesitate grabbing something, its gonna make you look suspicious. This includes constantly scouting out workers and cameras, small glances are fine but don’t stare. Being nervous is normal. As long as you are confident shown on the outside you’ll be fine.

Every borrowing session doesn’t need to be tons and tons of stuff, the more you borrow in one session the harder it’ll be to cover up, you also don’t need to borrow every single time you go shopping/out, don’t make a habit of doing this just at one store cause they can and will catch on.

If you’re new to borrowing and arent that confident start small, gum, lipstick, keychains, anything that can just slip into your jacket sleeve with ease, nothing to expensive. Just in the case you do get caught you won’t really be in that much trouble, and always have the opportunity to lie and say you forgot it was in your pocket.

Check tags, if you’re going for something that’s not like under 20 that shit can be tagged and you leave that store it gonna beep so it’s always good to double check. Alcohol of my knowledge is never tagged, but still be careful.

Item container to big and its just has no use?Cardboard taped to it or whatever, just take that shit off, do it while walking around so you aren’t just infront of the item display ripping it off. (Only do this if you are sure this is something you’re gonna want to borrow, don’t change your mind and leave it broken.)

Going to the mall? Buy something first and get a bag or just go into a store and ask for a bag (theyll just give it to you) than you can just slip whatever you want into the bag, works perfectly.

What to wear? Personally I dont dress up to specifically go borrowing but I’ve heard wearing jeans with leggings underneath help if you shove small things into your waist band so they don’t fall out.

Long sleeves also so you can just slip something small in there, long gloves that don’t cover your fingers make it easy to slip small things into the palms. Jacket with inside pockets also help with big hauls in one run.

Wanna bring a bag? Don’t bring some big ass bag thats gonna be obvious like a tote bag, if you’re at a mall (can work outside a mall if so please) bring a bag from another store so it looks less suspicious to have a bag. Purses are also fine. Personally I don’t wear one but when me and our friend go, she usually brings one.

Blacklist stores

• Target (They are out to get you. Cameras in the shelves. Personally wouldn’t borrow much from here.)

*details listed below

Tape - After using the detacher hook, tape it under a shelf or seat in the dressing room. 

Spandex - Use to hide smaller items and prevent them from slipping out from concealment. 

Wire Cutter - I only bring this on the big “buys”. Like, when I steal a Micheal Kors off display. 

Shopping Bags - After entering a mall and retreating to the bathroom, I take out three different bags: Forever 21, Bath & Body Works, and American Eagle. Almost all malls have these stores and you look less suspicious already carrying bags as though you’ve purchased something. Keep these bags in good shape! 

Chip Bag / Starbucks Cup - I hate having loose jewelry that I’ve lifted in my purse, so any small items I’ll put in one of them so if I do decide to pay for anything they can’t possibly see what I’ve taken. 

A cute lil hiding spot…

I have no idea what you could hide in there……🤣……..but its a pretty good spot a created.

OK so, the capitalist beauty industry. Owned by male CEOs, they control our trends, they get our money, they create advertising which results in compulsory femininity and we all know how bad that is–erasure of butch women, men defining femininity for us, etc..

Anyways because of those rich and powerful capitalists, makeup is a necessity for women now. It needs to stop being treated as a luxury item, when we all know how much better our lives got after we learned how to do makeup.

We know how good makeup makes us feel. And we know how people treat us so much nicer and better when we have makeup on.

If we’re going to be participating in the system these CEOs set up to make sure their product sells and then over price it, then we might as well refuse to let them profit from it!!

Fuck allowing men to profit off of their control over our fashion trends!!
