Choose what each post is about. A planned rotation works through topics planned up front, What happened today reacts to recent news, Your own catalogues posts your items, and A mix of both combines news with the rotation.

Posting real products?

Your own catalogues posts each item once, in order, and never posts sold items. Set up a catalogue first.
