I Found All These Snacks in the TRASH Behind a Dollar Store!

[@francesjolly5106]

The longer I watch your channel the more I am amazed how you put your heart into all you do! Your home is immaculate, your skills at taking dumpster items and make them have a second life, the items look sometimes brand new. I can't even get my laundry as clean as you get those items. Last but certainly not least the family you have created is what most people long for. Your husband is obviously a wonderful person and you and he make a great couple. Now to the most important part of the family PILGRIM, that puppy dog has the look of a happy well loved part of your family. I couldn't be more impressed of you than if I were your mother. Congratulations 🎉 Sorry so long. So, so long lol. Sincerely a big fan.

[@denamilline761]

I love when you rescue the food! There are to many hungry people so food should never be in the trash. That's some expensive yarn and it makes a beautiful blanket 💕

[@shelley6746]

Yes it is expensive yarn and I love her idea of putting it on the tree mimicking SNOW....how cool is that!!!

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

Kelly! Not sure if you know, but that yarn is PERFFFFECT to make a little blanket by hand, no need for a big crochet hook or knitting needles! Truth be told I’m a bit pants at knitting / crocheting, but I bought some big wool (yarn) just like that because I came across a tutorial here on KZbin where it shows you how to do it by hand, super duper easy! You could absolutely make a shawl with it! In fact you could first use it on your tree then use it to make a shawl, Texas or not, nothing nicer than sitting with a shawl around you with some snacks & a movie! And girllll you made out with them snacks 😻❤️ xx

[@teta3577]

I love your videos. I do wish I was healthy and younger so I could dive too, but I watch and cheer you on. One thing, when you come across old playing cards, greeting cards, post cards, old pictures, old books, old paperwork (ledgers etc.), and out of date planners - bundle some together and mark it “ephemera “ and put it on eBay or Facebook marketplace. To price it? Go to Etsy and look up ephemera. I cry when I see some of the stuff divers leave. I make junk journals and I know a lot of people who would love to save some junk from going to the landfill. You go girl, we are cheering you on! 👍👏🏼❤️

[@_spider_jeff]

You should always snip the power cords and keep all wires. They are worth .50 to $1 per lb. depending on their thickness, at the scrap yard. Happy diving :)

Hi, I'm a dumpster diver in Adelaide Australia, for 35 years now...I've been watching your KZbin channel for about a month now, you're doing a fabulous thing, I'd like to save everything tossed out in the whole wide world, i sometimes wish I was Superman? (dream on) - we get a 10c deposit on those little milk box drinks, as well as all other drink containers, i find endless goodies, we are a very rich country too, my Daughter is 24 but she won't do it with me, she reckons it's disgusting and dirty and that you might catch diseases from the bins, Oh well? - my latest find was a "Sony home entertainment centre" still in its box, worth about, $2,000 + my big house is full of my great finds over the years... You're doing a great job, Keep it up & I'll tell everyone to watch your videos, Cheers (from, Down Under, Skippy Land, during a very hot Summer, 😂😊🌞😉)

Back when I sewed all the time I used 2 half mannequins. One female and one male. He wasnt treated very well as I put a bra on him and used him as another female. I think you might be able to use them to display some of your clothing. Also have bags to store them in. Nothing special just bags I found at estate sales. Let me know if you are interested. I am not selling these. I'm offering them as I enjoy your postings and Would like to help you. I'm almost. 74 and a handicapped female.

Hun, the next time you see those plastic hooks that Dollar Tree hangs on their end caps you should grab a few for yourself.
