Thrifting for Back To School & A Wedding Guest Dress! Thrift With Me All The Things!

Hey party people! Thanks so much for hanging out with me while I share with you this new back to school thrifting experience! I wanted to take the girls thrifting before we did any other back to school shopping! We checked out the shoes, backpacks, and clothes! I was also on the hunt for a wedding guest dress so I tried on a lot of dresses and really none of them were great spoiler alert. haha You know I also went through the rest of the store to see all the other thrifted finds too! Hope you enjoy shopping and thrifting around with me!
Kim!

Kim, you should tell your watchers that Red White and Blue has all but the current color discounted. In Bradenton 3 are 50% off and 1 is 75%. The sales are amazing

[@cooperfreckles]

I remember more than one person would ask me how with 8 kids do my husband and I dress our kids in name brand clothing. I said thrift stores! DUH people!!! I would love a a big thrift store like this near me in rural America! My 8 are all grown now. I see you are enjoying your children while they are young. We never got told that the hardest part of parenting is the day your children grow up and move out! My first I cried for 2 weeks! But you just always have to learn a new normal.

[@radhasircar8558]

This is such a treat! ❤Thrifting with Kim. You are sending an important message to people, to save the environment. Reduce, reuse and recycle. Plus some interesting finds. A win-win. You are a role model. ❤

[@badgirl44654]

The apple is a pepper grinder. You put whole peppercorns in and turn the handle on the top, and it grinds pepper over your food.

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Keep smiling and make others smile with you because there is a lot of blessings coming down today. Happy Saturday.

[@kierradunn6451]

Good Morning, everyone! Happy Saturday. Love thrifting with Kim!

[@Youknowitsjenn]

I love the idea of telling the wedding guests to wear certain colors. Creates a whole aesthetic for photos and vibes for the day. Makes every guest feel involved and important instead of just the bridal party. If I got married today and not 13 years ago, I would have done that instead of having bridesmaid

[@monicalawlor8115]

Random Idea: Carry a marker of each color in your purse and put a dot on your hand for all the colors of tags that are on sale so you don't forget!

[@thewadsquad]

Iiiiii love this idea 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ClayterSiebert]

Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…

[@gramapam557]

The apple you found at the thrift store is a peppercorn grinder you put the peppercorns in the top you unscrew it and it grinds up your pepper fresh pepper..

[@roxannebudd1978]

Actually I think it’s a nutmeg grinder.

[@Itsjeasicanelmseverywhere]

I kept yelling it at her and she never heard me 🤣 I hope I’m not the only one who verbally answers Kim😂😂

[@Hondasmama2005]

​@@ItsjeasicanelmseverywhereI thought it was a pencil sharpener but the hole you put the pencil in has been covered up by the price tag! Lol

[@redwitchangel6163]

@@roxannebudd1978 It's actually a pepper grinder as I have the set. Vintage Wood Red Apple Salt Shaker And Pepper Grinder (you can look on Google for them)

[@sissyrayself7508]

It can bet used to grind sugar cubes and cinnamon sticks as well..for cinnamon toast.

[@mbraden8949]

Love starting a Saturday with Kim.

[@lonegamers7826]

That emerald green dress was gorgeous

[@aliluck3903]

Good mom! As a kid we lived the thrifted school shopping thing and it gave me a love for it as an adult and now mom of 3, teach them young that good stuff doesn’t have to be new or expensive. Have pride in practical things bought on a budget.

[@mookiemonin]

The apple is a pepper grinder. It comes with a green apple salt shaker. How do I know you ask......because I have them lol!! 😂😂😂

[@johnnawalker4474]

That bright yellow dress with the open back looked great on you!

[@raemarks1737]

Your thrift store is stackkkked with everything 😭

[@Empoweredblondie]

Red white and blue thrift is amazing!!!

[@judyfarmer2962]

The girls were precious in helping you to pick out some things. They are really growing up.

[@sharonclarke8683]

Omg the apple was a pepper grinder 😂

I enjoy them all.. I’d love to see another good old fashioned Goodwill thrift hunt. Hoping for the “nice” dressing room. The fashion show and all!

[@franceskloos1297]

It is always a great day when we go thrifting with you and the girls, that thrift store is big lots to chose from, the picture of you and the girls was Precious, enjoy every minute of it the time goes by so very fast.

[@oohhwow819]

I’m sorry 30 dollars for shoes at goodwill is crazy to me

[@DDJ10156]

Good Will is over priced, over items that was donated. Smh

[@rancherbabe7137]

Absolutely

[@MargDBX]

Yeah I would not pay that much either. I can get them on sale brand new.

[@thewadsquad]

For a pair of Nike or converse that are basically brand new and retail for over a hundred? I’ll do it. But if it’s like a pair of sandals… no lol

[@aliciabourn2753]

My everyday dishes are clear glass. I bought them when I graduated high school and moved out on my own. They were $10 for 20 pieces. I bought 2 boxes at Bill’s Dollar Store, 39 years ago.

[@fauzianalwoga]

Omg😢. You are older than my now late mum 😅

[@teubank7357]

Oh my goodness!!! I wish we were in FL right now. I'd drive to Tampa to get that planet backpack. My grandson is going into Kindergarten and he would loveeee that!! Too cool.. Thanks for the shopping treat!!

[@lindamartin7580]

Fun time thrifting with the girls! Looks like there were some great choices! Memories..more important! Have a great weekend. See you Tuesday…🍅📚✏️

[@hopegarrett7710]

I'm digging yard sales this year. I found Lila Pulitzer slip on shoes floral print for $1.00 what a steal 😊

[@shirleybird6422]

I totally would've gotten that yellow 2-piece set❤😂

[@katiesmith8627]

Its the corners of the brownie for me lol 😆 ❤ i love brownies

I hate when your videos end 😢 I just love watching your videos! I will rewatch if need be! 😅❤❤

[@fauzianalwoga]

Me too😢😅

[@kristalvanhouten1228]

Hello from Indiana 👋🏻😃 I love how your kids especially teens absolutely LOVE the thrift store, I love going and especially when I was a kid. I wish I was there, I’d be shopping for days lol.

[@Shpdrp8080]

I love it too!! My teenager's love thrifting! They'll thrift before they hit the stores. All 3 of my kids are thrifters and it's amazing to see them so happy. They'll say did you find me anything when i go without them😂 i usually will find them something they'll love. They always knew i went thrifting but it took until they're preteens to jump on board. Now that's all they want to do! And hello neighbor!!

[@megancraig8145]

So not gunna lie… after this was over I totally went to a RW&B near me and I totally scored on many gems! Thanks for the inspiration Kim!

[@Corbit1519]

I watch motocrossed with my daughters, that was my favorite movie especially because I rode and a few in my family race, one is a pro racer 😊

[@TheRustyTrike]

I started thrifting our mismatched dishes last year. I gave up on a set. We gonna brake everything we touch 😂😂. Now when we run low on dishes or bowls I go buy a lot of 3 or 4 and we’re set. The kids all have a favorite random bowl that doesn’t match and they love it. 😂

[@ArrowsDIY]

I usually trace my kids feet on a piece of paper before I go shoe shopping for the kiddos. So helpful to take the guesswork out of it! Sweet finds! ❤❤❤

[@colleenwilkin5705]

I have dinnerware for spring, summer, fall and winter including Christmas and Thanksgiving! I enjoy changing them up when I decorate for the seasons and holidays

[@129kittykati]

12:15 that glass sled with the reindeer’s OMG You can actually take a seam ripper and take the embroidery off of the backpacks😊

[@Hopedealer31]

You looked gorgeous in that blue dress with the pretty back from Lulu's! They all looked cute on you because you're beautiful regardless, but that blue one was my favorite!! 🩵💙🩵💙🩵

The dresses looked gorgeous on you, Avalina made this video with her fashion show 😂

[@wingingitsemiretiredlife2981]

Hi Kim. I'm a grandma to a tween boy. Last year I lucked out and grabbed the last black backpack at Sam's that was originally 40 something for 5 bucks. I was so stoked. When I told my daughter she said oh he wanted a JanSport I did an eyeroll and said okay. I asked her if he ever used the one I got as a backup she said she's using it soo I that's good. I feel sorry for parents now kids are so pressured to get the name brands. LOL this year I'm getting the Nikes he will pick them out!

[@DreamingonaDime]

Pepper grinder!

[@ellennewth6305]

Hey. Kim! I love how you, Avalina, and Eleanor all go thrift shopping together. Red, White and Blue should give you a group discount! You know what they say: "The family that thrifts together ... dresses better!" Maybe no one says that, but it's true!!! That 60s model was "Twiggy." I wanted to look like her when I grew up. I didn't.

[@faithholman4476]

When you said wedding dress for Meredith I was like wait what ?? Isn’t she like 6? Hahah then realized dress for a wedding! Hahah 18:51

[@dublingirl6945]

If you find furniture you want kim, you should leave the girls to hold your cart and go check out with the piece put it in car and then go back to shopping

[@fauzianalwoga]

Ikr😢. The girls need to help their mum. Some of us no longer can help our mums coz they are dead yet they're were even younger 😢

[@gillka92]

"Scott Calvin but the step father" I died laughing lol yes it was yeas it was 😂 ugh so ready for Christmas!

[@Insanity_awaits]

So super sweet you with your two older babies 💛 looks like a wonderful day together!

Woohoo! Been waiting for a thrift video ❤🎉 love these!

A movie I watched the other day and realized how much we all loved it, Babe! I'm recovering from surgery and had to upper body dance with the farmer and mice!!! Singing will happen at the end so be alert with a side of whole body happy dancing!!!

[@CookingwithCatLover0330]

LOL! Your daughter was standing just like you do, the flamingo stand. So cute! Love your videos.

[@rancherbabe7137]

The yellow dress was the nicest you tried on. Looked gorgeous, fit perfect.

[@catherineroof1373]

Kim, that first "skater" dress you tried on looked AMAZING on you! Please get that for yourself. It highlights everything on you! Only good things that. You will regret not buying that!

[@thewilderthestillhomestead9802]

I missed you by one day, I was in there yesterday and put the pioneer woman dispensers in my cart; I put it back before I left, even though it was 50% off. I have limited storage space. But the apple thing with the metal is a pepper grinder. Have a blessed day.

❤❤❤ I love going thrifting

[@Deano87]

I wish we had these stores in the uk! I’ll be in my element me and my husband! We have one vintage store that sells all old named brands which I love! But that’s it! Bring these stores to the UK Kim 😂 I think you’d love to own your own thrift store ❤

[@dianajemison105]

I watch a guy, here on KZbin, that goes to charity shops, over there in the UK, all the time. He finds lots of gems.

[@Deano87]

@@dianajemison105 yeah I watch him too Mr carrington! He does but that’s in London unfortunately where we live in Manchester isn’t the best
