When 25-year-old Addy Tritt paid a visit to her local Payless in Hays, Kansas, last week, she didn’t intend to walk out with the last of the store’s inventory.

Tritt went to the now-out-of-business shoe store after seeing an ad on its Facebook page promoting its slashed prices. When the last 204 pairs of footwear dropped to $1 each, she figured she could buy some and donate them to a shelter or church.

“My pile just kept growing bigger and bigger,” Tritt, who recently earned her master’s degree in human resources, told HuffPost on Wednesday. “I finally went up to the sales associate and was like, ‘Hey, weird question. Can you get me a deal on all of these shoes?’ She was like, ‘Are you serious?’”

It took just a little over two hours and a few phone calls to the Payless corporate office and Tritt was in possession of all the remaining shoes ― which were valued at approximately $6,000, according to the Associated Press. She purchased them for about $100.
