A WOMAN has been branded ‘greedy’ after sharing how she flogs Tesco items for several times the price online.
Thrifting fan Emily took to TikTok to reveal how she makes extra cash on Vinted and eBay by flogging cut-price Tesco clothing she got on the cheap.
tiktok/@thriftingwithemOne Tesco shopper was slammed for her ‘greed’ after snapping up cut-price goodies to then sell them on Vinted for several times the price[/caption]
tiktok/@thriftingwithemFurious TikTok viewers advised the woman to ‘get a proper job’[/caption]
Some of the items the money-smart shopper got her hands on included a ”Swarovski dress” that was going for a fiver, as well as a strapless top in the trendy leopard print for £5.
The dress, Emily told social media users in the video, would ”sell well”, so she purchased three different sizes – which she’d then flog online for £20.
As well as selling the summery top for a tenner, the Vinted seller said she’d flog £7 gym leggings for £12.
Other items in her shopping haul included a a T-shirt style dress which cost her £10 – and would then be sold on the popular site for double the price.
Whilst snapping up the goods from the mega retailer, Emily also got her hands on Nivea gift sets for just £2.50, with the intention of making a £5 profit.
Another bargain find was a gift set that came with two shower gels and a beanie – which the packaging claimed was worth £20 alone.
”I’ll be able to sell them for at least £12,” Emily reckoned, after purchasing the box for £5.
”Some absolute bargains!” she wrote in the caption of the video, which has racked up over 13k views in just one day.
More than 100 people flocked to comments to slam the Vinted reseller, with one dubbing the money-making method ”pure greed”.
One wondered: ”Genuinely what is wrong with you?”
Someone else chimed in: ”I don’t think this is the point of Vinted. If you want to start a clothing store then get your own platform.”
A third wrote: ”how about you leave it there for people that can’t afford to buy it at full price. Get a proper job.”
Do you need to pay tax on items sold on Vinted?
QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted...
The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it.
Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017.
Others, meanwhile, thought Emily would have a hard time trying to get rid of the items on the site.
”Don’t see how you sell any of this, would never pay this much for second hand,” one shopper said.
”Girl nobody is buying that stripe dress for £20,” someone else agreed.
However, not everyone was criticising the Tesco bargain hunter, as one viewer said: ”Why are people hating on her? do you lot know the amount of stuff that end up in landfill because they don’t sell!

THREE months after the death of “Catwoman” Jocelyne Wildenstein comes a dramatic twist in her story.

InstagramIn later years, Jocelyne was unrecognisable from photos of her young self[/caption]
On the day of Jocelyne’s funeral in January, Lloyd took a call telling him that he was the beneficiary of a life insurance policy Jocelyne had taken out.
“I got a phone call from Switzerland from the attorneys and they informed me I am the beneficiary of a life insurance policy,” he tells me.
“It’s over $100million dollars. My heart was beating. I was like, I’m not surprised. I sent her [Jocelyne] a big blessing.
“Jocelyne left me the most beautiful love gift ever that you can give and surprise your other half.
“She did it right, she’s a lady. Jocelyne was secretive, she was mysterious.”
How she managed to secure Lloyd’s $100million life insurance policy is certainly a mystery.
After he received the news, Lloyd’s lawyers advised him to employ bodyguards and an armed driver.
“My life has changed. I have one or two people walking behind me now,” he explains.
Lloyd, a fashion designer, has taken up residence in a luxury apartment in Paris.
The paperwork is done and dusted and he has access to the trust with his $100million, he says.
Instead of sorting out a mountain of debt and a pile of creditors’ letters, he is wondering, at his leisure, how to spend the $100million.
But there is more drama.
‘Missing £1.2bn’
In contrast to his $100million “gift”, Lloyd claims Jocelyne did not leave a single penny to her two children, Alec Jr and Diane, who are both in their forties.
Jocelyne had been estranged from her children for many years before she died and neither attended her funeral.
In 1999, Jocelyne received a reported $2.5billion settlement, plus $100million a year, following her divorce from art dealer Alec Wildenstein.
Lloyd claims the bitter estrangement from Alec Jr and Diane came about after they stopped making the payments.

“After the death of their father Alec [in 2008] it fell to the children to continue the payments but they did not do it,” he says.
He claims that before she died, Jocelyne was preparing to file a lawsuit against them for ten years of unpaid alimony for the extraordinary sum of $1.2billion.
“Jocelyne was done with the children in her last years,” he says. “She gave them everything.”
Fraudster family
In March last year, a court in France gave Alec Jr a two-year suspended sentence and fined him $40,800 for his part in a massive tax fraud that saw his uncle, Guy Wildenstein, jailed.
As well as being found guilty of fraud, Guy was found guilty of money laundering and sentenced to four years in prison, half of it suspended, the other half to be served under house arrest with an electronic bracelet.
But Lloyd says he is not concerned with Jocelyne’s children right now. Has he been tempted to splash out?
“Well,” he says, “I did buy myself a birthday present.”
Lloyd was 58 on 15 February.
Our sexual life was very intense and very good, our love, our understanding, our cultural level was high
Lloyd, Jocelyne's partner
“I bought myself a watch, a Rolex watch. It was, I don’t want to boast – $500,000,” he says.
Lloyd had it specially engraved with Jocelyne’s name and date of death – 31 December 2024.
“My birthday was a painful day. I wanted something very powerful next to me,” he says. “When I look at the time, I see Jocelyn.”
‘Always with me’
He says Jocelyne is “with him” all the time.
“Jocelyne is here, we communicate through the mind. There are signs,” he says.
“Her phone is still working and sometimes it will fall without reason from my night table. It helps to know she is here.
“We were together 22 years. Every night we slept in the same bed, we said goodnight and kissed and hugged.
“I have known grief, I have lost my parents, but I have known nothing like this.
“Silly things get me. I go to a supermarket and see something Jocelyne would have liked, and I get a knot in my stomach.
“I am living now in a beautiful apartment and everything has been set up as if she lives here.

“Her clothes are in my dressing room. When I open the closet I see her coats, her furs.”
Lloyd has had a gold and glass pendant specially made in which some of Jocelyne’s ashes have been placed. He says he wears it all the time.
“I feel she is next to me,” Lloyd adds.
Sudden death
On New Year’s Eve, Jocelyne and Lloyd were taking a nap in the suite of the Paris hotel where they had been living before getting ready to go out.
Lloyd woke up to find her dead in the bed beside him.
“It was very peaceful,” he says. “She looked beautiful. Her hair was done. One of her dresses, a made-to-measure couture gown by Alaia, had been delivered.
“We were going to dinner at Laurent to celebrate the New Year. They waited for us till midnight.
“Those last three months in Paris, Jocelyne wanted to go out every night and enjoy herself.

“This wasn’t like her. She often would not want to go out. It’s as if she knew she was going to go.”
‘Extreme’ life
Lloyd says Jocelyne arranged the legacy because of their love of one another.
“Our love was real, our relationship was real,” he adds.
“Our sexual life was very intense and very good, our love, our understanding, our cultural level was high.
“We had fights like every couple but we love each other.”
He says the $100million was a surprise – an understatement, perhaps – but that Jocelyne was always surprising him.
“One day for my birthday, I wanted a specific gift. It was a very expensive watch.
“We were having the cake and she brings onto the table, the gift.
“It’s a beyond gorgeous watch that I wanted, a Rolex, but it was maybe too much. It was on my plate.”
And now he has two.

Swiss-born Jocelyne became famous for her repeated facial surgeries, although in her last interview, with me, she claimed never to have had plastic surgery.
As well as the plastic surgery extremes she went to, she was famous for the extremes in her finances.
“Jocelyne was extreme in everything she did,” says Lloyd. “There was so much more to her than ‘Catwoman’.
“She was a philanthropist, she supported animal welfare, art, culture, healthcare and education.
“She built up her Ol Jogi ranch in Kenya, with animal clinics and schools for African children. She didn’t talk about any of this.
“I want people to know how fabulous a woman she was.”
He effortlessly replaced Phillip Schofield, after his This Morning scandal ended his working relationship with ITV, and reunited with Holly Willoughby.
But even professional Stephen wasn’t immune to a gaffe in the final.
Eagle-eyed fans spied him walking over to console Miles Nazaire and pro partner Vanessa Bauer before Holly had announced Ryan Thomas was the champion therefore spoiling the result.
He’ll be sure to bide his time this weekend.
SHOCK WINS
James Jordan triumphed over Wes Nelson in 2019Rex Features
There’s often a heavy favourite going into the final, but it doesn’t always go the way of the bookies.
And this year’s frontrunner, Michaela Strachan, will not be taking anything for granted.
In the past, both Perri Kiley and Wes Nelson looked destined to become kings of the ice only for co-stars to pip them to the crown.
Diversity’s Perri performed multiple show firsts during his run to the final in 2020 including a backflip on the ice.
But it wasn’t enough to give him the win. Instead, Joe Swash skated to an unexpected victory.
While multi-talented Wes looked on course to succeed in 2019 but Strictly legend James Jordan rolled back the clock and took the title with a fluid final skate.
HORROR INJURIES

The Dancing On Ice rink is one of the most perilous settings of any reality show.
Injuries are commonplace as celebs strap sharp blades to their feet and learn daring moves on a slippery surface.
And final week is no time to get complacent.
Past winner Jake Quickenden was left sucking gas and air after dislocating his thumb before the finale.
Despite the painful setback, he battled through and skated to victory as a truly worthy winner.
Hours before he was due to compete, he suffered a horrendous injury in rehearsals.
His stomach was sliced by a blade, effectively giving him a caesarean-like slash on his stomach.
He was rushed to hospital and spent weeks in pain as he recovered at home.
EARLY EXIT
instagram/@kateholdernessAdele Roberts was hard done by in the final, according to some fans[/caption]
Last year viewers couldn’t believe Adele Roberts was first to be eliminated in the final despite receiving a perfect score.
Her 40-point performance wasn’t enough to carry her all the way to the end and she received the least amount of votes from the public.
It meant the radio star was denied the chance to perform her own rendition of the iconic Bolero – made famous by Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.
After the result, fans couldn’t help but take to X – formerly known as Twitter – in their droves as they were left utterly enraged by the shocking result as they claimed the show was a “fix”.

The Briton turned to shake his opponents hand after landing his final throw, but Wattimena quickly turned away, packing up his things and thanking the officials.
He then circled back to Bunting, shook his hand, and whispered something in his ear which could not be heard on the broadcast.
The 2014 World Champion appeared taken aback by the conversation, reacting alongside the crowd with a confused look on his face.
In his post-match interview, Bunting said he was not sure what he had done to upset Wattimena.
He said: “There was no malice in my game.
“You have known me for many years now and I am not that sort of player to play mind games on people.
“[Wattimena] was telling me that I was doing something wrong.
“I have a lot of respect for Jermaine and I didn’t expect that at the end of the game.

ERIK TEN HAG had planned for a ten-year reign as manager at Manchester United prior to his sacking last October.
That’s according to former Man Utd first-team coach Benni McCarthy, who has claimed Ten Hag had a vision for the future at Old Trafford.

But shortly after his departure, Ten Hag was sacked himself following a shocking run of form that had the Red Devils in languishing in 14th place
McCarthy, who has just been named as Kenya manager, spoke to BBC Africa about what it was like to work at United alongside the Dutchman, revealing his plans for a lengthy stay.
He said: “I was given an incredible opportunity to work with one of the biggest and best clubs in the world under the guidance of Erik ten Hag.
“I learned utmost professionalism because the manager I worked under was not just a disciplinarian, but he was the best and one of the most unbelievable professionals I’ve ever seen in the game.
“Extremely hard-working, very dedicated, very passionate, he planned on being the Manchester United coach for the next 10 years. That was his vision.”
Fans online reacted to the news that Ten Hag was planning on a long-term stint with the club.
One wrote: “He sure didn’t plan right”.

While another joked that Ten Hag was hoping to follow in the footsteps of Sir Alex Ferguson‘s 26-year spell in charge, writing: “Bro thought he was Fergie”.
United have failed to move the needle since new manager Ruben Amroim has come into the frame, now sitting in 15th place ahead of their clash against Arsenal.
However, even McCarthy can’t put his finger on what’s going wrong at the Theatre of Dreams.
He added: “Everyone is talking about how bad, how terrible Manchester United is.
“We still managed to win the FA Cup, we still managed to win the Carabao Cup. I was proud that I was part of that regime.”
Adding: “Honest to god, I don’t know what the issue is,’ the former Ajax striker admitted.
“It is just such a huge football club and the problems just seem to go on and on – and I don’t know how they’re going to resolve it.”
He told Sky Sports: “To tell you the truth, I feel sometimes there are scars in our team, in our players.
“They are good players, but they (scars) are so deep, they are so long here that it is hard to change things in one moment.
“Some players had one coach and then comes a new coach, new hope, new momentum and then we go to the same place.
“Imagine this for any person, in any job. Imagine this as a player, with all the media and social media. So it’s really hard to turn things around just like that.”
