Some vacuum clears can work to inflate pool toys fyi😉 id keep those rollie carts new theyre$25 i love mine for art supplies😍🤩😍

[@lisasharinglifestorieswith4182]

This is Lisa sharing my stories your time isn't free and gas isn't free yes you find this stuff for free but it's a lot of work people don't realize how much work finding stuff really is but it's helping people and that's the most important thing so God bless you

[@lisasharinglifestorieswith4182]

Kelly I rescue two cats from the winter and they're in a room so my dog won't get them I'm going to get him a toy like that I think that would make them happy so I just wanted to let you know thanks for showing me that I didn't know they had something like that

[@shannonhinton3907]

Love yal, hate i missed the live..❤

[@33andme]

You two definitely put in the hard yakka +++

[@marywatkins6798]

Y'all deserve every penny you earn from your garage sales. You did all the work driving to dumpsters, hauling stuff out and home, cleaning, sorting, etc. And, you saved it all from landfills. Love your channel!

[@kathykelly-gc5cl]

Have a yard sale closer to college move-in. You can sell the stuff you rescued to be thrown back in the dumpsters for you to rescue yet again!!

[@MissTiff84]

It blows my mind that most, if not all, of this stuff would have ended up in a landfill. You must see the impact you're having when you are editing or having these sales. Just well done you guys. Always a pleasure to watch and Bones is the cherry on top 😂❤

[@user-ob4un7gy5g]

Have you ever thought of having a two day sale? I organize a yard sale for a non-profit and on the second day we make everything half price. We make double the profit the 2nd day. Love your channel ❤

[@breafkast]

We did two days in the passed and we just prefer a one day sale. Putting things out on the curb for free is one of my favorite parts :) Thank you so much for watching ❤

[@southernbelle193]

Do you and your hubby work or depend on this as income? Just curious as to if this is a part time hobby.

[@julien2912]

@@southernbelle193 Hi Southernbelle! They are both full time KZbinrs and yes depend on their income from the garage sales, their youtube videos of them dumpster diving, videos of them traveling on their other channel, and videos of their garage sales on youtube and on other social media sites.

[@alyda9954]

Good idea ! They work so hard ! 👍👍

[@kathykelly-gc5cl]

You should have another yard sale closer to College move-in. They can purchase what you saved from College move-out & throw them away again for you to save again!!😂

[@anony-ic3pz]

I really admire how yall can recycle, profit, donate, and help the planet from your dumpster diving!

[@Fox-Lover159]

See you next year!

[@marlenecardinahl9346]

Yes so wonderful- they save the earth and people need things

[@rosamolina2925]

Maybe not a lot of money at garage sale but you donate so much food and clothes and that’s a blessing

[@kikihammond5326]

I'm quite sure you already got rid of them, but in future you might try donating the large animal cages and aquariums to an animal shelter. They do get things like bunnies and ferrets and hermit crabs and geckos, etc...I'm shocked no one bought the dollhouses.

[@Ellyn1974]

I was going to say the same thing...the rescues would have loved to have gotten those nice cages and the aquariums. Not to mention that those cages would have sold quickly on Marketplace for a decent price. Theyre expensive to buy new! Thanks for sharing your sale with us guys! Stay cool!

[@debraelkins1930]

Hi from U.K I really admire what you are doing and if more folk did this what a wonderful world it would be 👍

[@karenstringer8266]

Glad you had a good day. Bones is such a playful n talking cat 🐈 he such a handsome boy 😊

[@brandysoza9505]

Bones is the cutest fur baby. I love how he talks to y’all. Love your channel!

[@scarymarytv]

YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤ So happy you save so many nice things from the landfill You are my heros!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ love your videos!!!!!

[@carolevans2714]

Even when you’re tired, you are so happy and sweet! Love your channel, you, Alex and Bones! 🐈‍⬛

[@lindabeard488]

You are great at saving things from the landfill and pricing them so that people can afford them and get what they need. Congratulations. Love 💕 and Hugs. 💙💙💙

[@dianadean5994]

That was great . Yard sales are hard work but I love doing them. $584? Was great. It depends on the more expensive things versus $1 stuff. But still you did great. I have enjoyed watching all the campus videos and the sale. Love to all🥰

[@loriwooten5249]

I like the banter between the 2 of you!! May you always be this happy! watch out for Beryl!

[@23angelpie]

What is bery

[@cindylandon204]

​@23angelpie I think they are talking about the Hurricane Beryl.

[@Suebe1962]

You two are so comical together! 😅 Seeing the behind the scenes of your garage sale and all your prep work before the big day looked like a lot of work, but you both made it look easy!!! Hurray! Your garage sale was another success!!! You saved so much from the landfill!!! Bones helped by not being in the way and was guarding the house, like a good guard cat! Whenever I'm gone for a few days, I always say that my cat, Bing, is home guarding the house! 😅 The kitty toy at the end was fun to watch Bones react with it, if only in an unsure way! 😻 👋 Hi Bones!

[@kandiwolfe1125]

My goodness, what a day (week, month, year) you two have had! I think your view point of selling items at lower prices is inspiring and helpful to lots of people! Keeping it so friendly and fun can make a huge difference to many folks in need of more than just a coffee pot....bless both of you for your kind and caring hearts! Peace to All....💜🩵💜🩵💜🩵💜

[@coffee19837]

Great job on your garage sale Kelly and Alex, you two do such a wonderful job. Bones is so precious and cute.

[@travelchick7267]

On the day of your yard sale the sky looked so perfect like it´s an ai generated screen. The blue of the sky and the perfectly positioned puffy white clouds are almost like a pretty painting. Congrats to more than 500 $!

[@terriparisi5680]

I love Bones' reaction to the toy!! It was hilarious!! That thing was wild1 I was laughing SOOO hard! Thanks you guys for your awesome videos.

[@cathifamjourney469]

I love how bones talks to yoi! Such a sweet sound he makes! Congratulations on your successful yard sale!

[@marieevelyndunlap]

You both have such a great sense of humour and it's really nice now that you have mic's to be able to hear Alex more. For the canopy, it would look really cute if you applied strong stickers over the holes. You could use shelf liner and cut out shapes.

[@susananthony2366]

That poor little dog on the super hot concrete!!😲 Please tell your friend that her dogs foot pads can be scalded on that hot concrete. Always test the concrete and asphalt with the back of your hand.

[@lisahoward8401]

Congrats on your sale, thank you for your contributions to your community. I love watching your videos and love your generosity. The new cat toy was a hoot, will have to get one for our grand kitties. Very refreshing to watch a young couple that has so much fun with each other. Peace from Mimi in Indiana😁

[@julien2912]

I LOVE, LOVE this video. Loved seeing the before and after of your storage unit and garage. And Loved seeing all of the stages of your sale: sorting, organizing, prepping, Selling, condensing, consolidating, putting out the Free stuff at the curb at the end of the day, counting the money, and checking how much Free stuff was left at the curb a few hours later. Thanks so much for showing all of those stages or steps of that week/weekend to us. This is exactly what I was suggesting in a comment a few weeks ago. I am so amazed I got to see all of that!! Thanks!

[@lindamon5101]

U2 r such à great team! Id get rid of the storage unit. Purge purge purģe. Storage units are expensive!❤❤

[@breafkast]

Thank you! We got the storage unit specifically for the college move out / garage sale period of the year. We won’t keep it full year round.

What a successful garage sale!! it is not the amount if money you receive ... Your explanation of the garage sale said it ALL I So enjoyed watching ...Its early in the garage season, the best is yet to come Thumbs Up

[@saraferreira-holz6375]

Thats great! In previous years you had massive piles of clothes and this year you sold what you could to a consignment shop and donated oodles, so you guys did awesome at almost $600.

[@jeanscholefield2173]

I just can't believe how much good stuff is dumped. Well done for saving it all. Such a lot of hard work for you both. I love that you can put stuff on the kerb for people to take. We can put stuff to take on our drives or front gardens but on the kerb is forbidden.

[@pattscollectons1234]

Great sorting and set-up, y’all❣️ Sounded like Cicadas were having a good ole time in the background (Great shot of the shedding.). You both have inspired me to prepare for a garage sale of my own. Thanks for all of the work and awareness that you both put into your channel. Luv that toy for Bones. 👍 💖🐈‍⬛💖 🇺🇸😍

Those cicadas are frightening! 😧We get them here in NJ, but not as much. Thank goodness!

[@janiebrossmann1178]

You guys are so great…saving from the landfill.YAY😊I know some garage sales around us puts a table up near the money collection table and they tell people to take 1 item for free per each dollar that they spend❤it’s actually a good idea cuz they will spend a little extra just to get free items 😂

You all are getting so organized! It looks great. You say Bones isn't helping, he's being so calm and quiet, I think he's being a big help lol.

[@user-be7kv1sg1m]

love seeing Bones and the toy!

[@melissaphelps6622]

Youre so positive, i think yall put in alit if work for that. In every weather, for gruling hours, lots of back pain. I think you shoulda had 1 mire day sale. Then curb alert, then donate. Or like the cages and many things probably coulda sold on fb market place. Your money could have equaled or surpassed last year, and every one needs more money these days. And the good deals you surely would have given. But, its your show, and yoyre to kind for your own good, which is admirable. God bless you, stay cool now.

[@carolevans2714]

Thanks!

[@andrewmackenna568]

You are both aware of one big problem of our age - exploited over production, trucked to diminising centers of consumption, disposed to ecological contamination. Kelly - Alex you very considerately recovered what you could reach, not to draw attention of University administration. Construction dumpsters are simply the lowest common denominator solution to student surplus, and tens/hundreds dollars - per skip - per day - probably a cost rolled into student fees. Student council, if functional, would be targeting these costs and redirecting surplus to you or community. I'm a Kelly/Alex admirer from early on. Kelly, put that anxiety - in the next dumpster. Thank you. -Andrew, Christchurch, New Zealand

[@nilakc5802]
