In a video, she unveiled a new haul of three green puffer jackets, each with an estimated cost of $1.25.
"I love the green puffer trend, so I bought three at the goodwill outlet because they're probably about a $1.25 each," Baylie said.
Baylie said that she got two vests and a full jacket.

The jacket was an LL Bean puffer.

The jacket on LL Bean's website retails at $229.

TikTok commenters are in awe over the fashion find.
TIKTOK RESPONSE
Baylie's fans on TikTok loved the jacket finds.
"I’m obsessed," one commenter said with a few heart-eye emojis.
"(LL Bean) puffers are literally SO perfect," another said.
In the video, Baylie said that one of the other puffer vests didn't have a lot of cushion left in the down.
A TikTok commenter had a suggestion to make the down puffy again.
The commenter suggested: "Throw the puffer in dryer to puff it back up!!!"
Baylie couldn't specify the jacket's price at Goodwill because the purchase was made at an outlet.
INSIDE GOODWILL'S OUTLET
In another video, Baylie went through another fashion haul from the Goodwill outlet.
She explained that the outlets are "pay by the pound."
Outlet locations roll out bins of fashion finds for shoppers to rummage through.
The clothes aren't bought individually once the shoppers are ready to purchase.
Instead, Goodwill charges per pound of the complete haul.
Heavier items, like puffers and shoes, will add more cost to the final price.
Because finds aren't itemized, it's impossible to know how much individual items cost.
But, according to Baylie: "These things are all pretty much less than a dollar."

Also, another thrifting professional found some designer pants in a hidden section.
