Hidden RV Gear Must-Haves in Thrift Stores (Outfit Your RV on a Budget)

[@janetfolkerts5827]

Salvation Army and other church resale stores are far less expensive than GW..Don't forget to stop in at local yardsales while passing thru little towns. The part I love best about thrifty, not only does the item serve a purpose, but when it doesn't and because I paid so little for it, I can donate it back when thru. It's a WIN-WIN.. THANK you for sharing.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks for watching

If you will be using an induction cooktop maybe bring a magnet to test any pot or pan for usability on induction.

[@teresaworthley2368]

This is exactly why we love following you. Never thought or think about places like this…brilliant even for the odds and ends you may need. Now I want to head to our local stores and see what great finds we can see!!! Thanks Charity!!

[@GratefulGlamper]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@daydreamer0923]

Right, I always 4get about the side stores. 😅 thanks again.

Saw a silicone dish pan on the shelf . Collapses flat to save space. Have one and we love it

Thank you for this video. Im living in a new to me 2003 winnebago class a outside my home (going through divorce and shes in the house) and having hard time outfitting my new home. Thank you for this.

Collapsible laundry hampers that zip are so nice to carry beach ball, buckets and Life vest to and from the water! No sand left in the basket and keeps the trailer cleaner!

[@GratefulGlamper]

Nice idea, thanks for sharing

[@darlenedavis8690]

I love thrifting however the sad thing is that thrift stores (especially Goodwill) have been raising their prices to the point where it's often cheaper to purchase the item new. The plastic storage boxes - you can purchase them new from Walmart or $Tree for less than Goodwill's half price. As with anything, you really have to check and double-check the prices. Don't just assume it's going to be cheaper because it's at Goodwill.

[@sandrajordan3802]

Goodwill prices have really gone up.

[@CraftHarlot]

That's how they pay for the gigantic brand new shops.

[@dianeericson7900]

In our area, it's gotten cheaper to go to the church bazaars. The irony? Anything we don't sell at ours for the price of "Pay what it's worth to you" is donated to G____l and priced much higher!

[@anonymouslyanonymous9078]

😢goodwill is a joke

[@sandrajordan3802]

@@anonymouslyanonymous9078 so true I now donate to the animal shelter resale. Prices are low and the money goes to a better place.

[@sjordan7085]

Have they ever! It seems that the larger 'chain' type Thrift Stores otten charge more than items were new, and they seem to have no shame when it comes to putting out chipped dishes or broken items. I still love going on treasure hunts, but am far more selective when it comes to the stores I choose to shop in and how much I am willing to pay for things. Plus, I always go on Senior Days when I get 30% off. I have multiple Coleman stoves, and other camping gear. Almost everything other than food, I buy used in excellent condition. Living on a fixed income means being frugal is a high priority, besides being fun. That said, one still needs to be careful not to become a hoarder. That said, I do have a few Dash appliances that are small and run on low energy.

[@johnlynch5221]

You have disclosed my shopping secret. This is how my wife and I set up household together in the late 70's. And our RV was no exception. Excellent suggestion to get plastic dinnerware. My rule is if you can drop it from your highest cabinet and not break it. It works in your RV. My best finds at Goodwill for our RV is a $12 flatscreen TV and $2 music CDs.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks for sharing!

[@kathydavis5085]

We have found great treasures for our RV going to thrift stores and Goodwill. Wherever we travel, we always check out those stores!

[@cris_miko]

Hospice Thrift Stores, Salvation Army and Humane Society Thrift Stores are the best.

[@michellej2232]

I spent a week in my new travel trailer and wrote down stuff I needed. Then hit the thrift stores. I am going to eventually build on my land, so i only want to buy what can be used for a long time. I'm sewing my own window covers now using a car sun shade and burlap style place holders. I'll velcro them over the skylights and bathroom window.

[@bobabooie6389]

I just got done watching some news, and I can't take anymore. So I came to your channel for happiness 👍🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

I'm saving up for a truck and can't wait to go thrifting again.

[@blondie7740]

The best product I bought for my RV was a countertop dishwasher. I bought it off Marketplace for less than half price, and it uses a few gallons of water to wash a full load of dishes.

[@GratefulGlamper]

I would LOVE a counter top dishwasher

[@BTimmer]

We've found all of the things you mention and more at thrift stores. I just found a Lodge cast iron skillet and a very nice grilling spatula. I also look for kites (I have 9 or so at the moment). Good video. BTW, we refloored our family room from Habitat. In our area, HFH has become more of a furniture store.

[@thatmichigangirl90]

I bought used Corelle dishes for my trailer. They're pretty sturdy, and if they do ever break, I'm out very little money.

Temu is your best friend when buying for your RV. They beat Goodwill prices most of the time.

We just bought our first RV and I set up almost all of the homeware stuff from estate sales, flea markets and thrift stores. Not only did I save money but it was also part of the fun. I will definitely be checking out one of those ReStores! Thanks for the suggestions! 🤩

I've gotten ALL my suv, no-build things from thrift stores👍! My favorite is the red metal toolbox, just big enough for my butane stove and some cooking utensils. It's about 3 ft. tall x 2 1/2 ft. deep, with a cute little door and inside shelf. It's my little kitchen away from home.

I've seen Charity in the Nebraska shirt on KZbin more than once. I grew up in Nebraska so being a fan is in my DNA, I can't help it. I live in Arizona now but am excited about college football getting ready to start again. I love college football in general and am cautiously optimistic about Nebraska having a decent season this year. I'm curious to hear Charity's connection to Nebraska.

I thrift everything and rarely go to Goodwill. I try to go to community thrift stores because people tend to donate closer to home.

[@Boone22]

Make sure you measure the area before buying kitchen supplies. Same with linen storage areas.

[@GratefulGlamper]

[@darlenedavis8690]

Illegal or not I wouldn't purchase a used mattress unless it came from someone I know VERY well. You never know what might be in/on it. Creeps me out just thinking about it. LOL

[@edithtrowbridge1775]

Goodwill is pricy on most everything. Dollar tree is a good place to start. Then the thrift shops . I love thrift shops. Buy the most compact of everything. Dollar tree is a good place to get paper plates and throw away plastic drink cups, water for washing dishes and save on dish soap.

My sticks and bricks is decorated in early american thrift store and garage sale! ;) We got some camp chairs with the table on the 50% off at goodwill. We van/tent camp and have gotten 90% of our gear thrifting. Cots, a teepee tent, lots of different coolers. We're kind of weirdly obsessed with coolers... it's a bit of a problem heh. We got all kinds of plates, bowls, pots and pans and even a neat cooler (yes another one) with fancy matching plates and cups. We use the cooler part with a plastic container that's perfect for keeping bread from getting squished. (also thrifted of course) Don't forget doing stuff things like hiking poles. Just a couple of days ago, I saw an inflatable boat. I didn't look that close as it was too big for our van, but might be fun to go out on a lake and chill.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Awesome!

[@DeeVee417]

Dont get me wrong I cant buy anything cause I bought an 2017 Avenger off a couple for $15000..oh no leaks, excellent condition. Walls and floor in front, water damaged. Estimated $8000 in repairs. So trusting. So dumb not to have investigated better and swore I would be more careful. So upset. Some said sell it. We did think of trading it but new ones are cheaply made. Used the balance of our home equity. All I want to do us stock it and use it. My husband called it a boat anchor. I just wanna cry. I couldn't do that to anyone. I'm so sad right now.
