In a now-viral video that has been viewed more than 12.8 million times, TikToker @marthainfused told the story of how a $7 thrift shop purchase turned out to be so much more than just a bargain.
@marthainfused purchased a Coach purse at Goodwill for $6.99, but what she found inside was the real treasure.
She captioned her video:
"Check your mother's purses before you donate them to goodwill!"
In the video @marthainfused revealed that while she was cleaning the bag, she discovered an envelope containing money and a handwritten note.
"I though I could clean up, so I start working on trying to take this flap out at the bottom of a purse, and there is an envelope."
The envelope had $300, but the note written outside the envelope had the tea.
The note read:
"I have three children, they will give my things to Goodwill when I die. So I am putting their inheritance inside all my favorite things."
Of the bag, the previous owner Martha said her husband's mistress left it in their home while attempting a quick escape.
"I came home early from a visit to my parents' house in Connecticut."
"She must've left quickly because she forgot her bag and shoes."
"I carried it daily, and I am giving it away because my kids don't want it."
"So go buy yourself a new bag."
Check out the full video below.
Viewers chimed in.
A few said that they would have returned to that Goodwill immediately to scrounge for more secrets.
The overwhelming majority, though, agreed on one thing: Martha is a legend.

@marthainfused has posted a couple of other videos claiming that people have contacted her with more Martha secrets.
In one video, a person contacted her and said that in the same thrift store she came across some glasses containing a note - but no money - that detailed an affair resulting in a love child.
Another user said she found $100 and a note in some jeans.
We can't wait to put all the pieces together when more of the notes are discovered!
