Tori is so beautiful . . . also humble and smart and kind. What a gem!

Goodwill is expensive everywhere. I work at a very popular church thrift store here and our prices can’t be beat. It’s like garage sale prices. I wish more thrift stores were like us. Great haul!

[@Wowzayep]

Same here, the local community thrift store is reasonable, goodwill is no longer affordable.

Do you visit your local library so the kids can check out books there? If yes, I'd love to see a video about visiting there. I just retired from 25 yrs working at a county library. So under utilized in our community, the library is always looking for ways to get more people coming to the library. They have summer reading clubs for kids with small prizes every time you reach a goal and then a big party at the end of the summer. They also just renovated and now have a makers space with 3d machines, direct to garment printing etc..

The fireworks were beautiful. Badminton was always my favorite backyard sport. I'm sure the children will enjoy playing it. Tori is such a beautiful young lady, so glad she's feeling better.

[@SweetOsoka]

Loved badminton!

[@monicaharris2396]

You can go to a farm store like tractor supply and buy fly spray and it smells like black tea leaves. You can put it in one of those automatic spray machines where it sprays a spritz once an hour. HELPS SOOO MUCH!

[@pattilee3478]

I have lived in the country all my life in Florida. Some years they are bad some years they are not. We have animals all around us. The best thing to get is fly bags. You can pick them up at Tractor supply. Hang one in the area and near your chicken coop. They are non toxic and they are very effective. Love your family.

[@amandapedigo5925]

I used to work at a thrift store. People would change price tags on items or take them off to try to get the cashiers to price it at a lower price than it was marked. What the store I worked at would do is send it back to the price makers (taggers) in the back. Then chances are they would price is higher because they would be tired of the customers taking the tags off (hoping for a better price to be marked). Also random tidbit for big sale days they would save up there higher end costly clothing items that previously weren’t selling on the racks. box them up and store them in the back then wait for a big sale day, where they would have half off clothing. Just incase you’ve gone on a sale day and wondered why the prices seem to be higher. I always thought it was an interesting way to go about it. Best of luck on your new laundry soap recipe! My mother in law shared hers with us and it’s so cheap and easy to do I think I make I make 2 batches a year (5 adults 2 children plus one in cloth diapers.) we use zote soap, borax and water. Sometimes adding oxi clean to our loads when we feel like it could use a boost.

[@Renae2020]

Hello Tribe Family 😊 Been watching all of you from the beginning, and love it for so many reasons ❤ I'm a house wife of over 24 years with no children from NC, and I'm also on a farm. I wanted to make a suggestion about the flies (eww) Flies are definitely worse out in the country. Is adding a screen - in - porch maybe to your new home, you could even add screen to your porch you have now. Not only do they keep flying insects out, but it makes it feel so cozy and beautiful. I have no issues with flies unless my husband comes through the back door. Also, country homes get dusty easier than living in town and air purifiers are the key in eliminating dust. Anyway was just a couple of suggestions 😊 God bless all of you ❤ 🙏

[@gillianmuspic2337]

I totally agree - thrift store prices have really gone up

[@bethannslusser4254]

My husband is a public librarian. He gets books donated all year long. Once a year, they have a big book sale as a fundraiser for the library. The prices are great especially for kids books! Maybe your local library has something similar. Your kids would love it!

[@lynnebrown-hardy1566]

The cheeseburger bacon fried rice looks good and I loved the fireworks reflecting in the pond

[@bsworld2]

The "teenage boy monotone" was spot on 😊. You got some great things, but holy moly....when did thrift stores get expensive?!

[@debbiebousquet5677]

They've been expensive for a few yrs now...

[@Isaiah41_10]

Here too! I guess if people will pay it, they will continue. I don't go anymore because I can get new for about the same prices🫤 But you had a great haul! Love that dress❤

[@nancyclark2964]

During the pandemic! I found mason jars in my local Goodwill store and they were prices at $1.25 each for the half pint jars! Cheaper to buy them new!

[@tml3982]

I recently went to a "second hand store" and the quart size mason jars were $12.00. The owner said they were "vintage" and that antique collectors collect them. I am not an expert, but these were not very old.

[@cassandras1688]

When they became franchised. Some things are good but others are WAY too expensive.

[@jeniferwendt9207]

I think those jugs are the big $10 wine jugs. I still have one that I put juice in

[@kristybishop3286]

Tori is so pretty. I agree, Goodwill is way to expensive. They get ( used) everything donated and then put prices that are sometimes higher than they were in a regular store. Try shopping only on the 50% off the tag color, it’s a challenge!

[@lindalong8403]

Tori’s new dress looked so pretty on her. Looked like Solo made a yummy meal and the fireworks were beautiful.

[@sherryriddle3754]

What did Nessa think of the fireworks? My dogs are so terrified of them. Farm/country life is the only way. Very hard work, but kept us kids out of trouble we had work to do all the time, our social life was church and going to eat with kids after church. Wouldn’t have traded it for anything else. My boys are 31 and 29 they still every chance they get, take their family and go visit their grandparents on the weekend. Along with all my other siblings and their kids and grandkids. Our family name was Green, so we call it Green Acres, it has a Community Building and our own Fire Dept. People come from all around the neighboring small town churches to our get togethers at the Community Building. I Thank God every day for my Christian family and the life they worked hard to build/provide for us. God is so good❤

[@kathleenkaufman6007]

Laundry detergent. I use an emply gallon jug of vinegar to store my laundry detergent. I fill the vinegar jug with water, empty it into a large pot on the stove. I heat the water then add a scoop of Tide powder, 1/2 scoop of washing soda and 1/2 scoop of borax. Bring it to a boil, let it simmer for an hour, take it off the stove, let it cook then use the empty vinegar jug for storage. Hope that helps. Thanks for your videos.

great ending with the fireworks. FYI our thrift store has the same policy about non priced items but ours will put your name on it, get it priced and you can come back next day to purchase. Loved #5 new dress. I had an aunt that made all 9 grandchildren Christmas stockings with our birth order. I was #2, I am 62 and wish I had kept that stocking.

I made the cheeseburger fried rice in a skillet on the stove. I just used a pound of ground beef and smaller amounts of all the ingredients. It turned out great and was delicious!

[@missymyers7043]

Totally agree…thrift shop prices are so expensive now. They used to have “yard sale” prices, where things were .50 cents to 3.00. Like those green bottles should have been 2.00 each and the blue bowl 1.00. IMO. Still some cute finds. 😊

[@ednanelson1897]

The dress looked very nice on Tori. Peace gets cuter every time I see her. The fireworks looked amazing on the water.

[@MissBellaboo702]

Sara, be careful with those flies. We ended up having fly larvae in our home this spring. It was a complete nightmare to get rid of. My exterminator told us all it takes is one or two flies to get in and then they lay eggs. It happens so fast and so quick it was completely traumatizing, it took two weeks to get rid of them with constant, vacuuming and swatting. Keep your doors closed as much as you can to prevent the flies from getting in. I had no idea how many eggs one fly could lay until this happened to us. I am OCD with the cleaning so for me this was really really hard to navigate through.

[@audreywiggs6880]

Well done Mama. You’ve worked hard to create a life worth living for your whole tribe.

[@AceFrass]

Look into Tempo for flies (tractor supply has it usually), follow the package instructions in a sprayer and spray it on your house to help with the flies swarming near your home.

[@sarakeith5480]

Badminton is a fun game, we always had one in our backyard in the Summer! Happy your family has recovered from their illnesses!! The fireworks looked great!!

Tori's tunic is gorgeous on her , that meal looked delicious , citronella torches you can just stick them in the ground all around the house , that should help with the flies too and other insects . They hate citronella

[@itsbittersweetest]

True about thrifting here on the East Coast has gotten much more expensive too, makes me more discerning, you are correct.

[@dianecohen8876]

local churches usually have weekly thrift stores and carry clothes, housewares, linens, craft supplies... i mention this because they're pretty economical and can have better prices than goodwill.

[@AAa-lz7el]

You need to go to garage sales and check with your local library. Ours has a bag sale 1st Sat of every month. As many books you can get in your bag( we've learned to take the largest one we can find. Always come with at least 20plus for $5 . Not bad keep the ones we like and give back the otherd for others to buy again.

[@nancyp.2605]

Wow! Those boys really put on a fireworks show! Great job guys!

[@sandiebrown8291]

Great video thanks for sharing. Thrift stores have raised their prices it's terrible they get it donated and try to sell it for big value it's a sad thing. We have stop going because of that around me. The fireworks were great love it

[@RV-there-Yet]

I'm surprised they're not wearing rubber boots out there in the mud (de-tasseling)~ that way they can just hose them off outside. I grew up in WA State & we all had first jobs in the orchards & farms, lots of berry picking, apples, etc.~ so all the local farm & feed stores, hardware places all carried the classic black rubber boots w/a red stripe around the top. Just a thought. *LOVE that white, embroidered dress Tori! So pretty & summery~ hope it fits the way you want🌼Those are my very favorite type of dresses, so I keep an eye out for labels like "Johnny Was, Sonoma, Mirabelle, Free People & Lucky" at thrift stores. So nice to find well made expensive clothing on the secondary market~ well done ladies!

I just read to hang a ziplock bag with water on your door or patio overhang, something about the light hits the water and the prisms make the flys think they cannot enter. Found it fascinating. Supposed to work I guess.

The hamburger cheesy beef looked delicious! Tori top looks beautiful with leggings, she feeling much better! My mama and daddy always bought used games for us as kids at auctions and such! Love badminton and the fireworks are beautiful on the pond! Can you call an exterminator? Something about feeding chickens something or put in their coop helps cut down on flies too....lime? Call Orkin for house inspection and recommendations, talk to your neighbors, see if they have same problem. Peace looks so cute with pink bows. Make sure trash cans are covered, i heard Pine Sol works too and some natural herbs. Maybe kittys using under porch for litter box.❤🎉😊

[@thecountrychickadee]

For flies, cut a lemon in half and insert whole cloves. Put at the front and back doors and flies disappear! Lasts a couple of days abd needs replacing when the lemon dries up. We also have an electric blue light fly zapper inside the kitchen, up on a high shelf. We live in Australia and flies are terrible here in the summer abd this works for us!

[@kimmyjo52]

Loved todays video! Thrift stores are responding to the uptick in demand whether it be for those trying to save or those who are trying to reduce waste and excess by buying used. It’s a sign of the times! The velvet bows the girls have been wearing are soooo adorable and I love the bow strips in the laundry/bathroom 🤭 The fireworks were AMAZING!

Check at your local farm store they have a product farmers use around their cows to get rid of flies. They are also attracted to food smells. I have clear plastic sticky sheets that i can attach to the window over the sink and that traps fruit flies and regular flies.

So much fun with your own personal fireworks!!! Great thrift haul too! I love tori's tunic...she has good taste : ) I agree that thrift stores have gotten expensive overall, I suppose to keep up w/inflation everywhere. I live in NJ and there are times where I can find a great sale on brand new clothes at a regular store that are cheaper than the used clothes at the thrift store. Crazy. But I do love the thrift stores for finding cool household items like you found. I have managed to build up a small collection of beautiful white hobnail milk glass items (usually from the 1950's) for like $3/each. They are vases and pedestal bowls that go nicely in my kitchen.
