My Husband was walking through the room as your prelude to your videos was playing and he said “wow what a cute young couple” I said they are definitely young at heart. He looked at me kind of puzzled and then said I didn’t mean young as in their 20’s but they are definitely a lot younger than we are. I asked him how old he thought you guys were and he said maybe 40.And I told him we are younger than they are, I am 56 and he is 50,And he said , NO WAY!!!They look like Ken and Barbie! I agree. Your energy ,positivity and joy are inspiring.

[@megansfo]

They're in their early 60s. Good genes, I guess.

[@lesliespradley8897]

@@megansfo I know🤯😁my husband didn’t believe me when I told him their ages. And he loved that the fact that they are practically newlyweds 😊

[@lavenderclothesline]

You guys are so sweet!! Today we traveled very far and shopped in 5 Places! I'm sure we don't look young today hahahaha xoxoxox

[@lavenderclothesline]

@@megansfo I am turning 64 this year and Roger turns 62! Yikes lol.... we feel amazing so that's all that counts!

[@BlissfulDee]

@@lavenderclothesline I just turned 64 last week and kind of can't believe it. It hasn't sunk in yet!

[@debbiecanizales6549]

Wow! I wish the Goodwill shelves were abundantly filled with items in my city. Texas Goodwills need to up their game!

[@sonjaholder4930]

I would say the same for Goodwill's in NC.

[@gustacano1749]

Texas goodwill are the best. To much rich people giving things for free.

[@helenascheele5922]

WOW! I wish I lived in USA. Here in Sweden the prices in thrift stores is really high! It’s very popular to shop secondhand today. I remember 1979. Hardly anybody went to thrift stores, and the items was so cheap, so I bought a lot. But now, after all, the money goes to good causes. Thank you for letting us almost shopping😊

[@jupitermoon8671]

I think Goodwill are known for only giving a tiny fraction to charity - pretty cheeky considering people donate for free but then again it’s a business so…fair enough!

[@cynncox1504]

You passed right past. By some very collectible items!

[@lajunecrockett2381]

Yes she did...first time watching....so I don't know if she's vintage or modern

[@GTgirler]

Fabulous finds, Karen! If this was a grand opening at my GW, here's how it'd go down: Regional mgr to workers "I want every Magnalite, Monet, & Murano piece front and center on the shelves! Full bins of Cutco utensils! I don't want to see anything with damage!!" Me shopping the shelves 2 days later and every day after: "Wonder if anyone would want an angel with half a wing, a bag of plastic sporks from Taco Bell or a box of broken ceramic figurines?" 🤓

[@ThisBetterBeGood]

😅😅

[@kirstenrissling879]

This cracks me up extra, because I kept my angel with half a wing that broke in my backyard! I can't bring myself to throw it out!

[@kbencsik1]

Oooh! Pottstown is not that far away!! I'm definitely hitting this one. Sorry I missed the Grand Opening! First time watcher!

[@andreaschmall5560]

Where does all this stuff come from? It never ceases to amaze me how much stuff Americans purchase and then discard. But after the resellers get finished, the neighborhood folks will be asking why are the shelves in this store so empty? lol

[@LindaKayHolevas]

Right? It’s really quite shocking! We are definitely a “throw away” nation. There’s so much unnecessary consumption, which is why I appreciate resellers- they help keep things out of the landfill. 😊

[@andreaschmall5560]

@@LindaKayHolevas I agree but very often I see certain resellers taking all of one particular item leaving not even one for the regular customer which makes me cringe.

[@tinaindina7032]

@@andreaschmall5560hi. What do you mean “taking all of a particular item”? Do you mean one person buying all the artwork or all the baskets?

[@andreaschmall5560]

@@tinaindina7032 For example...without mentioning names, I observed a reseller scoop up approximately 15 pairs of new shoes of the same brand and size which comprised all that was available at a local thrift store. I also observed another reseller snatch up about 20 brand new bras at a church rummage sale. Neither of these resellers left even one for the possibility that a customer who might be in need of a good bargain would have the opportunity to purchase the item. Sorry, but that is unadulterated greed at its most cringiest.

[@GTgirler]

If you really want to cringe Andrea, go shopping at a GW when they "clear the shelves". They take rolling bins and remove and smash all the breakables and take to the landfills. Idk why people have it so backwards. I think you have to be a reseller to understand. I've been doing it for 10 years. If you want more eye-opening experiences, go dumpster diving at an Old Navy. You'll find bags and bags of NEW clothing with tags and every piece is slashed with a razor to prevent others from using it. Nothing surprises me anymore.

[@Ir-of4zn]

This store is unbelievable...You are soooo lucky to have access to good inventory...

[@susanwelch2237]

What a fun day! Loved your haul ! Bet the manager of Goodwill never heard of someone finding their soulmate at the Goodwill!!! What a find!!! You guys are the best!

[@susanb374]

I love buying and selling wood items. Easy to store, easy to list, easy to ship! Also, you two are adorable.

[@brendaz9222]

Everyone should compliment them on not having loud music, when they check out. Maybe they will take the hint 😊

[@seaside2001]

Camel up looks like fun. Roger really is a big kid. I have never met a man so into toys, sporting goods. Lots of goodies. Glad you both had fun day in the new store.

[@user-de3yc6du7n]

Roger knows he can make good money with those toys !!! That's exciting !

Some couples are just made for each other.

[@BlissfulDee]

I have a soft spot in my heart for anything by Maurice Utrillo. Growing up in the '60s, my mother had a Utrillo print of a street scene on the wall in the living room of our apartment. He was famous for his street scenes. Your print looks like an especially good one, with a nice frame. A Google image search should tell you the title and where it is. He usually painted scenes of Montmartre (Paris).

[@sallypetrea4559]

Absolutely GREAT Video w/some really GREAT FINDS… many thanks for sharing it ! You two make a Fantastic Thrifting Duo- - So Much Fun to Watch!

[@loridove3284]

Karen, that Grand Opening was tame compared to the 3 Goodwill Grand Openings I have been to in the Washington, DC area. The lines were around the building and there were no spaces left in the parking lot. Only the first people got carts. I had to drag 4 IKEA bags around the store. The check out lines were woven in and out of the aisles around the store. We had to be breaking fire codes to have so many people in the building. It was not possible to get in every aisle. I am truly not exaggerating. It was totally different from your experience. Fun video! Lori

[@lionheart830]

Exactly!

[@HeidiMeyer-qo8qw]

I grew up on farm outside Sidney, Ohio where Magnalite was produced. Alot of people owned it. Takes me "home" whenever I see it.❤

[@Snoops510]

What hauls by you and Roger! I thought of Kayla too when I saw that roaster. Definitely a BOLO. Roger found some amazing games there!

[@vlrissolo]

You guys MUST be excited! A new Goodwill... I'M excited for you❤😂...WOW, I WISH I WERE THERE!... we definitely need more in my area...that beautiful glass cake plate is stuck in my brain...this is too fun. Like a game show where you race to fill you cart!

[@Sheilas_empty_nest]

I have that same Wagner roaster sitting on my kitchen table. I found it a few weeks ago at my favorite thrift store. I think I saw it on Kayla's channel too. I was standing looking at other kitchen items when the thrift store employee put it down next to me and it was all I could do to contain myself! I was chanting in my head "I know what this is, I know what this is!"😂 Now I have to decide if I'm going to keep it or if it will be my 1st flip.

Large lined basket works good for spring and summer shoes under the bed during the winter.

[@desertgalcurios]

Looks like it was a great trip for sure. Your first time through the basket aisle I think you missed a stair basket which can bring good money if it's a good quality one

[@dani7118]

The woman in the beginning of the video in the next isle from you definitely thought she was on Supermarket Sweep. She was grabbing and going fast! lol

[@madithomas5699]

My dream would be a new Goodwill like you visited today. I would have done the same and done a “ drive by” each aisle then gone back for second looks. What great hauls! I’m so jealous. Central Florida prices are triple what yours are.
