I Spent $40 on Five HUGE Mystery Bags

[@lisa_yvette3875]

The clothes you aren't keeping can be donated to your local women's shelter..coming from experience, women go there w the clothes on their backs..they would appreciate the mall brand clothing

[@3DoodlesKitchen]

Great idea! ❤

[@dianer5793]

Oh yay! I love these videos of yours. I use to be one of those people who really disliked resellers (I was of the mindset that thrifting should be only for the people who are struggling for cash instead of resellers.) but you’ve honestly helped me see that you guys work to keep things out of the landfill. So thanks for putting yourself out there and showing us the good that comes from reselling :)

[@HustleatHomeMom]

Oh my gosh, this is so nice!! Thank you so much!!! 🥰

[@Lk082107]

Diane, this comment means so much to us resellers! We have been bashed so much when in reality we really are saving clothes from the landfills and trying to make a difference in the worlds wasteful habits. Thanks again 💕💕💕

I started dying at the frown you drew on the pillow. Thanks for showing all the different sides of reselling! It makes it seem more attainable for others. ❤️

[@starrwinter]

From someone who’s had bed bugs in the house, sprays that are pet safe - they hate peppermint and cedar essential oils. Mix with water in a spray or diffuse bottle and go to town. Killed what we had and I still do it every so often.

[@phxjaguar5207]

In the past when i used to source 2nd hand clothing, I had a zippered clothes rack that i could hang the newly acquired items. At the bottom I ran a smaller ozone generator for generally a few hours. Outside of course for safety and general purpose was to remove any possible smells and to sanitize the items. Afterwards i would remove cover and “let them breathe”. I have been told this is also effective with eliminating any spiders, bed bugs, or other insects. Some care needs to be had with some items like rubber and natural dyes, maybe elastic?? But i never had any issues that I can remember. This method could be scaled or modified as needed. First learned of this use myself from reselling used cars and putting the generator inside with the windows rolled up overnight to remove cigarette smells. Yes it was a while ago lol

[@nicoleoconnor_isfrugal]

If it’s hot where you live, I learned a little trick along time ago, bag your used items and keep them in your truck for a full day, so that it gets hot enough to kill any bugs, if it’s not super hot outside, put everything in the dryer asap for 20 minutes on high. The dryer trick came from a exterminator.

[@HustleatHomeMom]

This is a great tip! Thank you!

[@acuriosityshop]

I absolutely loved this video!! You guys are the best!! One recommendation, besides opening the bags outside, please wear those garden leather gloves as sometimes, there is a risk to find a needle, or something that may pinch you. Take good care, Maya :)

[@johnscannell4189]

Ashley, you two are the silliest! I just love watching your videos to just to see you two. Glad no bugs! Take care.

new subscriber here, i discovered your channel recently and have been going through your old videos until this one popped up. i'm not a reseller, actually i live in switzerland where there's almost no second-hand buying of clothes at all. we usually donate old clothes to be sent to poorer countries (afaik? who knows what they actually do with those?) i still enjoy watching you find things and making money out of your knowledge and labor, and i love your and your husband's attitude towards life..

Loves the mystery! You should try to take the donate pile to Plato's or some other low end BST store to see if they bite on anything. Worth a try to recoup your cost!

[@realbigdeals2048]

Close one. Sometimes I think you might bundle common items together by size to make a deal. But no deal is worth the risk of pests. :-) Maybe you need a big shed or garage to go through items in. I worry about this a little even with hard goods.

If you ever get mystery bags even from the thrift store I suggest you open them outside by a garbage can with rubber gloves and a garbage bag for an apron. And you immediately wash whatever you decide to keep...RN here you guys are too precious to have any bugs.

[@Karla4040]

Got these bags too at the $1 bin! Opened all of them outside in my driveway with how dirty everything was 😅 made my money back plus maybe $80. Was not worth it for the work put in.

[@HustleatHomeMom]

Glad to know we weren't alone with our experience! 😅 I agree, not really worth the effort in the end.

[@kiwibirdwillson7189]

Oh that is all I thought about with the bed stuff and I often wonder if any one from thirft stores have brought bed bugs home from the clothing. I don't know if you heard about this a while back there was a high end store that most of the merchandise had bed bugs in the clothing.. it grosses me out and worry about bring clothes in my place lol. What a bummer though that you did not get much but I guess you can feel better knowing you helped the store lol..
