I love her, her videos always make my day especially when I'm feeling sad

[@TheCheapChick]

Awwwwww thanks so much! My face totally shows my emotions. That's why i can never lie. Lol.

[@andreamacgillivray8380]

Yes, she is so nice. Bless her.

Colleges usually have graduations in May and December, so even the 2021 graduation cap things will still be useful this year. Not as many graduates in December as May, but it still happens (I graduated in Dec of 03).

[@kristiphillips7783]

Your fur baby is very active in this video...cracking me up! I think YOU are to active for him....LOL! Adorable!!! Great boxes!!!! Yes, put together some lots and sell local. You deserve something back once in a while as you donate so much and share with family. Crafters will snatch it all up!!! Thanks for another fun video!!!

[@stevelamore4178]

Hello

[@usainengland]

Melissa, when I lived in a children’s home, I loved getting new school supplies like the other kids. I hope the folks at the Ark can give your kits to individuals. A nice little gift for someone!

[@TheCheapChick]

I actually donated all the school stuff to my client who is a teacher for her school

[@NanaColeen]

So many fun things. I love your comments, the look on your face is so great. And paco's face, when he is watching you is priceless!🥰

[@BrittneyCastineyellow]

Watching this while my mom gets a nuclear stress test done on her heart so can get a liver transplant!!! I'm always watching your videos while we are at the hospital or doctors thank you for being you and being a positive part of my day!

[@pattybarbee6212]

Best of luck to her!

[@jamiemiller7316]

Good luck to you and your mother.

[@alwaysmarcy9428]

I hope she gets her transplant, my brother had one many years ago and still doing absolutely fine.

Lots of love to you and your mum 🥰

I wish your mom the very best. You are a great daughter to do all that for her. Thank you so very much for watching!

[@michelesmith2291]

Hi Melissa! Been following you only about a month, but love your channel! You are just the sweetest! I'm watching a video from a year ago, where you did michaels grab bag. You had a bunches of planner. I am a planner junkie lol. 'Caught my eye💜 Hope you and your family have a great holidays

[@jeandavid2655]

I love watching you go thru those boxes. I find it relaxing. You are such a generous person. 😍🐣😘🐣🐥

Omg the smile Paco had on his face after u spilled flowers all over him was priceless🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@koi.in.pond3149]

Nice boxes ! :) The decor was very nice and those planners ! They are not cheap . Thank you for donating and helping out the community.

[@ReneeIsWeird]

Those planners are such an amazing deal! I use a planner everyday, I wish I were able to get these boxes in my area cause I want a planner! 🥺

[@TheCheapChick]

My client is going to take them all for her school plus all the other school stuff tomorrow.

[@barbaracilley8200]

You get a planner at Dollar Tree or Dollar General for $1.00. Not as nice as Melissa’s but still pretty nice.

You are the best. Always making us laugh. You are amazing for donating so much to your community and your family!

Hello Maureen, how are you doing?

[@loridom5375]

I loved the first box best, all those flowers and the cabbage box planters. Planners are very nice also. Someone is going to get some nice items.

[@angelcross1997]

Paco was getting interested in some of the items 🤣 So cute. Looks like you got some decent stuff. Thanks for the info on these as well; I actually had never heard of them, believe it or not haha

[@TheCheapChick]

I was surprised he was active for this one for awhile. Lol. These were fun to open.

[@BEAUTYSUBSCRIPTIONSMORE]

Melissa that box of flowers was fantastic! Definitely make a floral arrangement in a vase! I am jealous! You received pieces for my fill house!! Wow!! The planners! Pretty 😎 wow.. hand soaps! Great so far!! Cool cookie cutters, guns. Cup, wax melts.. .. pretty good boxes!! 😀

[@TheCheapChick]

These were pretty good boxes. Only downside was the 2021 graduation stuff

[@gailsgig]

Lots of good things in the first box! Useful and pretty! The larger cans would be great little trash cans for bedrooms or bathrooms!

[@martha171]

Thank You for posting yesterday that they were having them today! I was able to get 3 from my store. Lots of back to school stuff and flowers. Some multiples but only a few.

[@TheCheapChick]

I'm so happy to share the info. Glad you got some

[@stevelamore4178]

Hello, how are you doing?

[@Josh01815]

I been thinking of going to Michaels soon, and here you are with a video! 😆How convenient!👏🏼🤘🏼

[@TheCheapChick]

These boxes come out only once in awhile and sell out quickly. But follow the freebie guy on Instagram or fb and he always gives the heads up when they are coming out.

[@dthomp06]

I wish my locals did the boxes. I got two bags. One had a million of these wood components. I loved that first box. So cool. I can’t believe they put current planners in. Crazy. My second bag had a few planners but they were out of date.

[@pammyb1972]

Little Paco so cute!!! Smiling in the background 🐾❤️

[@TheCheapChick]

Awwwwww thanks! He was hoping I had some treats. Lol.

[@ambercroff1649]

List those planners on market place. You could make many people Happy Planners! I was a December grad 2x, so there is still a market for grad items that say 2021. So fun. I have never found a Michael's grab bag, but I can live vicariously through you!

[@mamatrain100]

I'm watching tonight, grateful for the adorable distraction. I had major dental work today, you make me smile inside when I can't outside. You'll never know how much you help others by just being here dear.....

[@angeladana5431]

I went to a Michael's in Tuscon, AZ today to see if they had the Grab bags. No luck here, but you got a awesome haul. Love how you spread the love, and share with so many. Great video!

[@rachelh1247]

I lucked out in my area once, you have to be there as soon as they open and stand in line because people tend to go nuts over these grab boxes

[@Slayness_hazel]

Omg! You scored big😊 Those Happy Planners are over $20. Sweet video🍭

[@delgateresa]

Some of the graduation cap decorations can even be framed or on the wall like inspirational quotes ...if they stick that is

[@dawnmagee3354]

Thanks for the video Melissa! My local store didn't have any grab bags and the next closest one is over 30 minutes away, so thanks for the look inside the boxes! I'm a donator as well! Just because I can't use it doesn't mean that someone can't!! 😊

[@colleenrepoli2709]

Found you today. I really enjoyed your video. I love that you donate to teachers!!! They need it. My daughter spends soooo much money out of pocket every year. She teaches high school, I can't even imaging what elementary teachers spend. Awesome video.

[@TheCheapChick]

I'm so happy you enjoyed the video! That really means so much to me. I love being able to donate stuff.

U could take all the prettiest flower picks n the extra greenery and put a nice bunch in each of the small galvanized pots n use em as decor either inside or outside. U could put one on each side of ur door or somethin....I would kill for one of those planners lol

Don't worry about what you look like girl. Most days I do not even bother putting on makeup, because like you said, real life :). We got you girl. Loved this video, I love Michaels grab bags. Thank you for being so kind to donate the stuff you do not use. That makes people so happy that sometimes can not get things like that. And you are beautiful no matter what you look like on busy days :). I like to call it a hot mess lol.

The wooden pieces would make good earrings. As a retired teacher, those things will be appreciated.

[@loiscassels8966]

I tried to donate some craft supplies to a school. They wouldn’t take them “due to covid”.

[@queentwo1265]

@@loiscassels8966 too bad.

[@karlarussell3555]

Just as an aside, I knew a couple of people who also received a ton of graduation or 2021 stuff in their grab bags, or they purchased it from the clearance table. Especially the bows, they are using them to take pictures, so they can remember the year. Doesn't really work for the "class of " part, but for just the bows with the year, it makes a cute picture. My neighbor actually used a 2021 bow to take a picture of her lemon tree and her guava tree, so that she can document their yearly growth.

[@TheCheapChick]

Oh that's neat. I actually donated all that stuff.

[@everykindnessandblessinghq]

U are correct...I WOULD love SO many of those things, especially the small wooden thinsg, which look like a lot of earring options but as a crafter I could do tons of things with them! Ur so lucky cuz the grab bags I managed to get were mostly planners n flowers. Apparently, all of the bags with the types of items u received were already gone! 😞 Not to mention...u got boxes which had approximately 3x the amount of items I rec'd in each of my bags. Hopefully next time I can make it there earlier and get more variety of items cuz I also donate a lot of items, especially to teachers! Those school boxes, with school supplies, would be excellent to give to teachers, for kids in their classes who may be low-income n cannot afford all the supplies they need. Love the vids my fellow Melissa ☺8

[@TheCheapChick]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I ended up donating all the school stuff and planners to my teacher client for her school. Yes you need to get there fast cause alot of people know when they come out and are there when they open.

[@DiminishingDawn]

As a teacher I LOVE the schedule sign. So pretty!!

[@dammitjanet3841]

Man, I would have loved to have bought those farm girl signs. So cute. Those planners were great too. Wonder why they didn't sell. With the 2021 grad stuff, I was thinking some schools have mid-year graduations. They could definitely use the date specific items. Great hauls. You've almost convinced me to try next time. Thanks for sharing

[@tianamartinez8189]

The wax melts can be used as air fresheners for your vehicle too. No warmer needed. Just use the mason jar salt and pepper shakers found at the dollar stores, place a few cubes in, screw the lid back on and ta dahhhh diy car air freshener. 😊

You are so sweet to spend your time and money to get those boxes from Michaels, then donate most of it to other people. Hope you make a little money back with the items you decide to sell. I wish I lived closer to you, I can teach you some easy crafting with some of the things you got. You can take some of those faux florals and make a bouquet, then put it in one of those tin buckets. Some of those little canvases would be great to donate to a school's art teacher or some kind of after school program or even a senior center. Really enjoy all your videos, thanks for sharing. 😊

As for the cost, it was totally worth it because those planners were just over $12.00 each. Best part of those, they still have several useful months left.
