“Maybe he was eating marshmallows.” 😂😂😂 2:51

[@divasmom8]

Don’t overlook those embroidery kits, that were in the bin on the lower level. Dimensions and Bacilla NIP kits can bring big money! I’ve paid .99 and sold for $45 plus shipping.

[@divasmom8]

Especially the Christmas kits. Bacilla stocking kits are very much sought after.

[@taracat7723]

Embroidery kits are great.

[@lonniekeener2113]

Yes!! And super easy to ship.

I was shocked she didn’t look into the green bin also

I would make a Shower Curtain out of the Hilfiger Sheet !

Karen, I just enjoy the way you make me feel like I am actually with you on a thrifting trip. Yo you ask us what we think, see, and know. I feel so involved with you. And you share your knowledge and experience, I’ve learned so much from you and have become a more discretionary shopper.

[@barbaragodfrey1402]

You fiancé and you are the classiest most handsome intelligent organized thrifters ever. Love your videos the most. Messy disorganization drives me insane. Kudos to you two

[@NanaColeen]

Thank you Karen for this fun shopping trip💐 I love your humor and the calm that you bring to all of your videos.👍 Like walking around with a friend. So kind of you. 👏❣

[@kimberlyhendren2097]

I agree! she has a nice, calming way of chatting as she shops. I love it! Not everyone has that calming effect! my fav

[@LorettaStJohn-ly9pb]

I was checking out your store yesterday and saw how much you had listed recently! Amazing job! Also… I live about an hour and 1/2 north of you in Central Pa and the thrifting here is AMAZING! Went to a new thrift store abt 40 mins away yesterday and didn’t realize it but they put everything single thing on 50% off the last Sat of the month and I had just happened to stumble in on that day! I got some amazing scores! I couldn’t help but think how much fun it would be to go thrifting with you! If you and Roger are ever up for a road trip, please let me know! I would be happy to show you around these parts and take you to some of the best thrift stores in the area.

[@Ir-of4zn]

Wow, Pennsylvania residents are blessed to have good merchandise in thrift stores. I envy you guys because one can easily make full time income, if s/he put forth the effort.

[@constancerobinson1377]

We’re ALL envious of them!

[@amyk3020]

WOW I have never seen any of my stores this stocked. It was like someone cleaned out several estates to G Will. I do think that the pricing is getting ridiculous and they are listing items way too high and then have to dump it when it doesn't sell. Shame on them. Love you and your content, thanks

[@Robin-gf7bd]

I have never been in a Goodwill with that much stuff. Y’all are lucky 😁

[@vtpuppetree1]

I want to thank you. I was thrifting on Friday and picked up 2 little pottery birds and it turns out they are from an Iceland artist in 1939 and I can't find another but a polar bear by the same artist is for sale for $650. I'm starting an auction tonight. I like pottery and sculpture but I probably picked up the birds because you pick up birds. Thank you!

[@arthurleavy6391]

The things you buy I would never think of buying.

[@secondsister6842]

Duvet is the comforter or soft quilt filled with down, feathers, or a synthetic fiber, used instead of an upper sheet and blankets. What you found in this thrifting video is the duvet COVER. Love your videos!

[@lisak1994]

On the bottom shelf where you found the large luminaries, there was a blue tub filled with needlecraft kits. Some of the vintage sealed ones can sell for amazingly money. I do well with them. Have even sold a few for over $100.00.

[@michellel1718]

of course Goodwill is watching your videos!!

[@bluebelle9572]

🤣

[@user-cx1fg4kz1q]

I have that brown casserole dish of my mothers. Scalloped potatoes and ham. Yummy!!!!!

[@deanna8217]

I got some ambiguous email yesterday from Goodwill saying that all weekend long they would be bringing out treasures. I was like what the heck does that mean?! lol So, I talked my husband into going with me (he's not a thrifter like I am). I didn't find too much, but I did get a beautiful vintage mirror and some depression glass (all for my own collection). I'll probably stop by another one today. I've been on a hunt for some curtains for our sliding door in the kitchen. Wish me luck!

[@sherrihughes5977]

Love thrifting with you & seeing what you pick up!

[@joannaandujo2217]

I loved the teapot and the color

[@jennynordin2730]

Love your videos, thanks for all the work you put in them. I only have a small booth but I learn so much from you and hope to sell online someday.

[@milehighmom4817]

That hot chocolate bar display was pretty popular with Rae Dunn collectors and people who go all out with holiday decor. There were several made for the different holidays. I know I saw them for Thanksgiving and Halloween also, and there was a green/red one that people really wanted for grinch theme decor. It might not have been bad for a market place piece at half the price they had it.

[@kellierohaley8328]

It blows my mind that your Goodwill stores Honor the half price tag sale for shoes and hard goods. Ours does not and I am in Pennsylvania also. My local Goodwill is small, and they take carts out on the floor the day before the color tag change And pull all of the hard goods with the color tag that is coming up the next day for half off. It’s so bizarre. You would think they would just want to sell the stuff that’s sitting there not selling.

[@SuperPytam]

Your such an inspiration!!!!❤ watching and have learned alot!!

[@debbiemalina]

I seen a bag of flour on one of the shelves ! They need a grocery isle !

[@lisatague305]

[@sebastianreeves6801]

I used to sell on eBay back in the early 2000’s & shipping big things weren’t a problem, but I’ve recently started reselling again, & the shipping prices are ridiculous!!! Makes it hard on the resellers! ☹️

[@annaking9213]

I enjoyed the video.

[@beachcitiesthrifting777]

Love thrifting and love everything you found...the carts were fun. Always have to check out the luggage as the handles sometimes get broken inside and are difficult to open. Some of the prices were just too high for resale. But nice finds and love the seashell belts. Very Caribbean....

[@deanna8217]

The Goodwill in Queen Creek, AZ is usually really packed like that one. I always find things there.

[@stephanietipple8331]

The bag of flour in the red aisle 🤣

[@SherryWillome]

I love J JILL CLOTHES

[@gggrandmotherannonetsy423]

Karen, I think the belts are made of African Cowrie/Crowry Shells. Great video. Once again, the inventory in PA is shockingly good. I would spend at least 5 hours in that store.

[@brianhenry2385]

Shell Belts: we used to see similar shell belts used to hold wrap style muumuu island wear and swim suit cover-ups closed and cinched at the waste, when we lived in Hawaii. The shells were usually smaller though, like the third belt you showed. My wife had some that were wide elastic band style belts, with a single large real shell buckle. If the muumuu print was a more monochrome pattern (reds or oranges) those shells would really stand out.

[@cyndimanka]

I love Clark’s. They fit me well

All I need to know what do you do to have such energy. Please let us know.

[@michelleraney3577]

The Batman Converse shoes were 80th anniversary ones. You can get at least $50 for pre-owned ones. They looked like they were in great shape.

[@brianhenry2385]

Duvets: when we lived in Europe, my spouse and I traveled to London and one of the items she brought back to our place in Italy was an interesting Duvet set. In addition to the Duvet cover, the set had 2 down comforters (1 thick, the other thin). The idea was that you used the thick 1 for Spring and Fall, the thin by itself for Summer and both went inside the Duvet for Winter. Very useful since most houses there lacked central heat.

[@stitcher4729]

Sounds like a great closet space saver too.

[@donnaplumridge9769]

As an American who has moved to England almost 30 years ago, I first found applying duvet covers over duvets very challenging! Lol! I too, have seasonal duvets. After 28 years of living here, I was taught a trick which now takes only minutes to apply the cover! I was taught to wash your duvet cover inside out, after duvet has dried, find the upper two corners of duvet, then carefully apply the cover over duvet. Then arrange the lower corners of duvet cover to match up with corners of duvet. Then finally snap the bottom cover up. It literally takes me two minutes now versus ten minutes before learning this tip!

[@bluebelle9572]

@@donnaplumridge9769 we need a tutorial 🤣💕

[@possumfriend2335]

Most of Europe does it that way, I think. I know Sweden does, too.

[@brianhenry2385]

@@possumfriend2335 Yes, Duvets of all types are much more common in Europe. Japan, where I also lived has similar thick coverlets for winter. Most of the houses lack central heat, so they need lots of layers.

This is a huge Goodwill.

[@brigidine37]

Somebody told me to go through in one direction and when done, go around in the opposite direction. The eye notices things differently that way. Have found it does work, I always see something second time around that I completely overlooked before.Thanks for your videos, so interesting and always learn so much from you.

[@lindasoderberg9477]

The set of three nesting baskets would ,when turned upside down, would make great risers. The pig clock is something that I would purchase.

The large iron candle stick is from Southern Living at Home. It was sold back in the early 2000s in their catalog. I used to be a consultant back then and I still have 2 of them.

Love your channel, your eye for detail is so good 😳if I’m thrifting I often hear your voice asking me if we need the item I am considering lol I find it difficult to not pick up “all the things” I admire your ability to restrain yourself! Love your house and your eBay set up! Considering setting up something similar.. would you consider putting out a detailed description? I would absolutely pay for your knowledge so maybe a small ebook for us newbies to eBay. Just a thought…

[@anitahaviland3036]

I saw a sunshine and shadow pink and white knit baby blanket at 23:30+ which you ignored. I wonder if this would sell as a wheelchair throw. I would be tempted to buy it to market it that way. I knit one for my grandmother many years ago, and she loved it.

[@brendawilliams7836]

I noticed you usually always have a larger purse that sits down in your shopping cart. Have you ever considered a smaller purse possibly a cross-body bag that you can actually have attached to you at all times? I say this because I was in a thrift store when a lady had someone reach into her purse and steal her wallet. Plus it would take up less room. This is just a thought I had. I always carry a cross-body bag when thrifting.

Large Flat Rate Box: I completely agree about them being too expensive and too shallow to be of much use. I do use the Medium FR size regularly, but anything the size of the Large FR, that has much weight, is likely going to FedEx, since they’re often Cheaper then USPS. I have also been shipping USPS ground more lately and also using the regular Large Priority Box, for light weight (under 3 pounds) items that fit. Especially since the last Postal Rate increase. Rarely used either of those before last year, but now do sometimes, if I don’t feel like running the 25 minutes to town to drop at FedEx, if the price is similar. I miss the Regional A boxes. Never used the Reg B box, for the same reason as the Large FR.

[@lavenderclothesline]

I miss regional A also!

[@brianhenry2385]

@@lavenderclothesline I'm still using up my inventory of Reg A Boxes, since they're a great size, but of course paying regular Priority rates each time i grab one. I'm hoping USPS will add that size to the inventory of Regular Boxes, as time passes.
