We had the MAGIC COUPON... (so WHY did we THRIFT the day BEFORE the 50% off Goodwill SALE?)

Today we are thrifting at Shillington Pa Goodwill, on Thursday,
The day BEFORE Friends & Family 50% off Day! Come along!!
The hunt is real! I spend hours and hours each week, combing through thrift stores, estate sales, auctions, flea markets & Antique centers ... to bring home the goods and prepare them for selling in my Ebay store, my antique booth and on Facebook Marketplace, which fully supports me.
A BIG THANK YOU!!!!! to all of you who continue to support my Channel and my Ebay store!!

[@darcyrobb3692]

I so agree. Karen & her You Tube Channel is really enjoyable to watch; Never apologize just be You Karen 🙂🇨🇦

[@AlittleBlue222]

Yea.😊

[@fourrosethrifters]

I can’t believe you had to put a disclaimer out here because people in the comments criticize you for what you missed or what you didn’t know!! I’m so amazed that they are so knowledgeable on everything in the world!! Good for them! I certainly don’t! Guess it’s a Karen thing, from this Karen to you, I find you quite amusing and love watching your thrifting videos, I learn so much and always let out a good laugh! Thank you

[@lionheart830]

Maybe they are just video watchers? But then, people need something to complain about. I love Karen. She is so organized, informative, and such a caring person.

Hi Karen the tray you picked up is a vintage Currier and Ives Seasons Heating Tray - and Yes I was telling you that even though I knew you couldn't hear me lol

[@peppiholliday4525]

I'm glad you toldUs what it was because I couldn't see how it would light up or not. Is it worth anything of value?

[@pmsbetty1]

I have one of those heating trays some where in my garage “hiding in a box”. Will it ever see the light of day?

Kerosene lamps are great prepper items to have if loss of power.

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I sure could’ve used them this last weekend. I was without power for close to 30 hours. Thank God, I have a candle obsession, lol. I had enough to burn to help keep me warm & bring water to almost a boil. The oil lamps would’ve really helped!

[@corneliaampunan3682]

Karen, your videos are never boring! Watching your videos is like following a cheerful guide touring me through the museum of American household items and apparel.

[@barbarafann8133]

Karen, I really love watching your videos for a number of reasons. Firstly, you don't pretend to know everything about everything, secondly, you never pick up trash because "someone will buy it anyway", thirdly, you explain what you look for in an item, fourthly, you are fair in your pricing. I used to watch someone that would go to flea markets, yard sales and thrift stores to find good items to sell for a profit (which is the idea behind everything) ... that same person NOW seemingly spends about 1/2 of their time FRANTICALLY shopping at the Goodwill bins, throwing anything and everything in their bag; giving their viewers/buyers the impression that quality isn't important for selling to them. ... and Fifthly because you have Roger! It is clear that he doesn't do this for videos, he is doing this as a resell opportunity! He doesn't even prefer to be on camera. It would be an interesting video to follow Roger through his shopping for one day to hear what he is looking for, why he picks up the items that he does and ultimately what he is able to list/sell them for. You two are so respectful and loving to each other, I am so glad you found each other; you both scored!

[@KLeonardM]

Love the french wired vase and those wooden chairs are great !!!

[@Snail320]

OMG! Who are these people who complain, whine, and want to be so controlling? FYI - Karen doesn't have to film! She's doing us a favor and inviting us along. So, please, stop it already!!!!

Yea, & watching you at home. Then driving along in the car. Lol Then going in GW & Shopping. It's weird bc Im seeing things I thought I had that was maybe rare & suddenly it's on a shelf every where y'all go. Lol...that's happening a lot. So I know what to donate now or sale. Its fun to see what each one finds. & Then ..just everything. It's especially Nice seeing those Burgers & Fries in that lil cup. & Then stopping by your booth ...it's Really nice!

Love that you r so diplomatic in your purchases….as a picker years ago I learned if it doesn’t have decorative value it ain’t worth it…I mean how many people r collecting for historical reasons….few of course not many! Keep on doin what u r doing you’ve a great eye for decor & guality! 👏👍🏼oliver

[@BeAHappyCamper2Day]

That's a nice Goodwill. I am from Pennsylvania That oil lamp was worth it. Keep that and buy oil. The recipe box reminds me of the 70s . You don't owe anyone an apology. Some people try to bring others down just because they don't have a life and are miserable. You two look great together.

[@janiceboling]

the copper items are not a set. The large one is to put match sticks or kindling that they used to stick in the fire, then use the "stick" to light candles...

[@daniellegeissinger4573]

Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge that you have. It has been super helpful for me (new reseller) just to hear your thoughts/process on picking things up. I have learned so much. I especially love when you show what you've sold. It helps me learn pricing. Please don't ever stop!

I think it makes it lots more fun with the discounts & Everything. Anyways, I 💙💙💙 you Guys! Happy Hunting! 😊

[@B-24Liberator]

The thing that aggravates me about GW is they get EVERYTHING free. How many companies get their products for free to resell them? But they can’t give you a discount. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@tanjacouch3340]

Oh yes people love those lamps

[@user-vh9ct8ou3x]

Karen, I live in San Jose California and all of the Goodwills in our city are messy and dark. It's like they use only half of the ceiling lightening fixtures. They are so gloomy, whereas all of the Goodwills that you frequent are so much more orderly and the lightening is bright. Plus your Goodwills are so much larger than ours. I much prefer Saver's than Goodwill in our area, even though Saver's prices have gone up...but Saver's is great with their 30% off Tuesdays and 50% off color of the week. You are so blessed to have really nice, clean and lite-up Goodwills in Pennsylvania and it's refreshing to watch your videos and enjoy your Goodwills! 😊

I am a Southern girl from the home of the Crimson Tide. Grand Dad and Grand Mother moved to Pa. to find work. many years ago from Alabama. My Mom and her brother started high school there and my Mom met my Dad in school. They started dating and fell in Love and decided to get married. My Mom did not care for the deep cold winters in Pa. and told him she would marry him but he had to move to the South where it was warmer. So after the wedding they all packed up and moved back home. My Dad did end up loving the south. All I ever knew is being a Southern Girl. My Dad and I loved our football at Alabama "Roll Tide" I watch your videos and I love all the finds you shop for. The North has such great little towns and beautiful scenery. I have never visited but would love to. I want you to know how much I enjoy your videos. I have wondered what it would have been like to grow up there.💌

[@deborahcostello8214]

I have read some comments that I thought were poorly worded, but I'd like to think that most of the comments about you missing something are in a helpful vein- just to help you learn a little more without having to study it. I wish you the best-I watch all of your videos and learn.

Even vs Odd Numbers in Sets & Groups: here in the US we’re used to seeing items retailed in even numbers: 2, 4, 6, 8 and even 12, but when we lived in Japan it was more common to find sets of 3 & 5 pcs in their local retail stores. They would however, package items for export, in even numbered sets.

Nice chairs and antique mirror and cutting board. I generally don't pick up heavy glass. The copper piece is unique. I Enjoyed the video. I've had ice cream from that back in the 60s...

[@pinadevos]

I have found the most beautiful and valuable things just trusting my gut feeling and finding out later what it was. So that is a good strategy Karen. Ofcourse I make mistakes doing that (who doesn’t 🤭) but most of the time I find things that are worth picking up and I learn something in the proces. I only have been doing this from 2019 and not as long as you, but I have found spectacular things that where missed in the triftstores. That is what makes this business a fun business (besides the money ofcourse 😂).
