just FYI: i don’t post my hauls or total $ saved. most of my hauls are small and survival items (esp w covid, i’m not trying to risk increased exposure for a pallet). not that those hauls aren’t interesting and worth posting, i just don’t wanna create a trail. & i’ve been at this for so many years and my total is so high, i’m not trying to expose myself like that. ✌🏻😎

Yeaaassss

[midnyight]

this was so slay of me

[lokilyftsalot]

in the US a company that ships you the wrong item legally cannot make you return it by the F/T/C guidelines so go nuts with those wrong item dnas

What To Do If You’re Billed for Things You Never Got, or You Get Unordered Products

You don’t have to wait forever for things you order to arrive. And, you can dispute charges for things that didn’t arrive or that you didn’t

As ironic as it sounds, I feel like ever since I became a lifter I have become less materialistic. Only lifters would know that money doesn’t buy happiness. How many of us lift to fill a void and see that the problems are still there? It’s pathetic watching people chase over material goods… once you’re a lifter everything looks the same to you. You don’t place value on anything. You’re not idolizing material goods. It’s like the “materialistic” side of me is satiated and I can focus on other aspects of my life. Materialistic people think having expensive things is going to solve their problems. It feels good for a second to own something expensive and then you want the next thing. Lifting puts me in control; I’m no longer a slave to consumerism.

LP describes how they differentiate suspicious behaviors that lifters and bargain only buyers share

[louseegoosey]

I’ve noticed a LOT of new followers the last few months, which I’m assuming is bc of inflation and covid. So, first off, welcome! We are here for you ☺️ Second, the most important thing you need to know abt lîftīng is how much trouble u can get in if u get caught. You need to sit down and have a heart to heart with yourself— can you or someone close to you afford bail? What are some of the realities of jail and/or prison? Are you comfortable accepting those consequences? This is not meant to discourage you. It is meant to make you pause.

It’s very easy to go thru a bunch of lïftîng blogs and get heart eyes. Two weeks worth of groceries?? For FREE?? Yup. But that kind of skill didn’t happen overnight. And it’s not without risk. Thinking u can jump into this without doing an enormous amount of research is a fool’s errand and almost guarantees u will get caught.

SO, some things to consider: what do you want/need the most? Where is the easiest place to get it from? What techniques do u need to pull it off? Which ones are u most comfortable with? Where can you practice that is low-risk? What are the exact laws and penalties in your state? VERY importantly, what are cops allowed to do/ask? Biggest advice: tell them NOTHING.

Be smart, be safe, don’t risk it if there’s a safer way or if you get a bad feeling. Trust your gut 💛

Spotting LP

    - Pretending to shop with no interest with what their looking at.     - Always looking down aisles when walking past.     - A bulky two way radio in the small of their back.     - Wearing a ear piece.     - Talking quietly on a cell phone.     - Always checking out / looking at people.     - Hovering around end-caps.     - You continuously see this person in and around the store.     - In a department they would not normally be in.     - Having odd non perishable items in their basket.     - Walking around with just one or two items in their hand.     - Not wearing a jacket on a cold day.     - A person who knows / friendly with employees.     - Hanging out around the electronics or other high theft items.     - Always seeing the same person in the store on different trips.     - A cheap chain around their neck for a hidden badge.     - Moving around the store quickly with an arrogant attitude.     - A person who just looks out of place

Cop Shit

In reference to my last post abt thinking I was abt to get caught: when I left the store, I started running scenarios abt what would happen if the guy did work for the store and did get my plate and did give it to the cops. What would I say or do if cops showed up to my door?

With all the disgusting shit happening in the world right now, information about your rights in relationship to the police is everywhere. A very important thing to remember: you do not have to answer their questions, you do not have to say a damn word, give them NOTHING. So I practiced saying over and over again, ‘I am invoking my right to remain silent.’ If you say that and they keep trying to talk to you and ask you questions, let them talk and ask. Continue to be silent. Then ask them if you’re being detained. If they say no, say ‘respectfully, I am going to leave now/I am done talking.’ It also wouldn’t hurt to record this conversation just in case they break protocols or ya know, the law, when talking to you.

People who have been working in anti-facism for decades have one message to get across to the youth now joining in on this fight: when it comes to cops, shut the fuck up. Tell them nothing.

Y’ALL

Storytime. Gulp.

A little backstory first: I’ve been trying not to lift for the past few months bc the aid I get from the gvmnt has gotten a little better and I’ve been able to manage without needing to (I’m a needs-based lifter). BUT I got diagnosed with a new condition a couple months ago caused my entire diet to change, so a lot of the groceries I used to buy (which were cheaper) I can’t eat anymore. I now have to buy specialty items (gluten-free, dairy-free, no onions and garlic in sauces blah blah blah) which are WAY more expensive. It’s hitting my budget in a major way and unfortunately, I need to start lifting again, at least for the time being.

So, I go to a store I’ve lifted from a million times. I know the layout, I know the workers, I could draw you a map of where the cameras are, I know the best aisles to conceal in, and where the blind spots are. It’s comfortable. This is MY store. My goal is to get a specific pricier item, let’s call it chocolate. There are a lot of variations of this item, the pricier more decadent chocolates and the much cheaper Her$heyz bar. I actually prefer a more middle of the road type item, say Gh!r@rdelli. So I’m looking for the ghirajelly and they’re completely OUT. I’m like fuckfuckfuck. That means the only option left is the grande queen wizard of chocolates.

Now, I may have been deeply impoverished a couple years ago and went hog wild scooping up these queen wizard chocolates. The store may have gotten wise to me and started keeping them behind a display case. Ofc once I stopped jacking them, they put them back out. BUT I still don’t want to get these bc if I do, I’m setting off little alarm bells. They might think, oh shit, the chocolate bandit is at it again! But I really REALLY need it. It’s imperative to my survival rn. So I bite the bullet and I grab them.

I follow the rest of my regular routine (I know people say not to get into a routine, change it up, don’t be predictable, I know, I know) and it’s going well. I conceal in record time while looking totally chill and normal, absolutely no one saw me, and completely out of sight of cameras. I’m feeling like this might be one of my best lifts from this store. So I head toward check out.

I usually do self-checkout but I had to use an actual check out lane today. I’m chatting with the cashier, it’s all super chill. And THEN, as I’m passing all points of purchase, I see this guy I’ve never seen before walk out from behind this sectioned off area for employees only and he looks right at me, dead in the eyes. And he does not look happy. He’s not wearing the uniform, he’s dressed plainclothes, and he’s kind of a gangly thing. He speed walks ahead of me and suddenly I get really scared and panicky, and I almost turn around and go to the bathroom. But I steady myself and remind myself how kickass I was today when concealing and forge ahead (don’t look sus). I walk out and there’s no problems. He went in the entirely opposite direction of me. I don’t know if he was trying to get my plate number or something? But I thought I saw him turn around and go back inside (not sure). So it really could be as simple as dude has a resting bitch face, forgot something in his car, and ran back out to get it real quick. Or he was annoyed bc he was supposed to already have left work and he was running late. I truly don’t know, but this is the first time I’ve felt genuinely scared in this store and I fucking hate that.

So, not a caught story, just a reminder to keep your eyes open, kids. It could all go south at any moment. Don’t get comfortable, even at your ‘safe’ places. Something new can always happen, u can be surprised at any time.

Stay safe,

Goose
