‘Buy-Nothing’ Post Offers Grim Insight Into Home Interior

Lory Clutter’s post on the popular Facebook group Buy-Nothing Brandermill offered a grim look into the condition of her home interior.

The photo featured a toaster oven she intended to gift to a neighbor, but the background of the photo included stacks of junk mail, various holiday decorations, and what appeared to be dog kibble scattered on a tile floor. Sources later confirmed that Lory is not in the process of moving, nor does she own a dog. 

We showed the photo to forensic scientist and Beacon correspondent Valerie Splatters to get her take on it. “I’ve never seen anything quite like it,” she told us. “And you're absolutely sure these aren’t crime scene photos?”

The toaster oven was eventually gifted to a resident who arranged a time for pickup but never followed through. At press time, Lory had relisted the toaster oven. Lory declined our email request for an interview, simply responding, "I should have just dropped this thing at [obscenity] Goodwill."
