ABOUT A TO ZEN LIFE
Along my journey to let go of 30 years of clutter, I accidentally became a minimalist and it was life-changing.
Before, I was an emotional hoarder with nothing but the clutter from lost loved ones - and $25,000 of debt - to my name. Now I have a beautiful home in Europe, a happy family, live debt-free, and - best of all - wake up to a life that I’m EXCITED to live every day.
My mission is to help you conquer your clutter and simplify YOUR way to a happier and better life. HERE'S OUR STORY: atozenlife.com...

I'm a thrift store shopper, and my rule is what I call one in one out. For example I saw this mid century modern end table and I could not leave without it because it matches the aesthetic of my house. When I brought it home I removed the old end table out of my house to be given away for free to whoever may need it.

This reminds me of what my mother and I would do a couple of times a month. Go downtown and go "window shopping." We would get ideas for clothing, specific items to watch for a sale on, and as you said, relaxing fun. I do the same now looking online but it lacks the exercise and comradery. Great memories.

There’s something to be said about completely redefining the way you go about appreciating things. Maybe the memory of the jello molds lives on in the space they occupy in the store. You refreshed the memory by holding them and creating a new memory shelf of them in the store. You don’t need to move them into your interior space or exchange money for that. Maybe this new memory shelf is healing, or heartwarming, in a new way.

I think one of the best de cluttering/minimalist things to do is if you are going to a thrift store take some things do donate. An item for an item. Esp. if its a charitable thrift store. If you have a list of 5 items you want to buy go around your place and look for 5 items you can live without.

I met three sisters a long time ago and they were expert thrift store clothes shoppers, following in the steps of their mother and grandmother. They could identify every stain and knew how to remove it, and were mending and restore queens. One of them got her beautiful, pure silk wedding dress from the fifties for 30 dollars, years before she even knew her husband. And her sisters all wore the same dress with tweaks they all did to it to make it different. I'm sure their daughters will wear that same dress.

And maybe I have a tip, or a mindset, related to the whole nostalgia thing. Sometimes I treat drift stores like museums of past trends and designs, so I won't be tempted to buy every item I feel nostalgic about. The things belong where they are and I can come back to view them without having to take them home (unless I actually need them).

I love this. Usually we see ppl decluttering. But your videos are showing how you shop as a Minimalist. I love how you didn't buy the cups because they were cheap and were microwave & oven safe. You didn't like the color and neither did you spouse. (They were ugly lol) . You left them to buy something you love. Its the intentional purchases as a Minimalist, even with the clear pan you went with the pricier one because it fit you best. I'm looking forward to this series. Welcome back to the states as a homeowner!

Great point about knowing your prices. Where I live, the second hand stores have things that are donated locally, at no cost to the store to acquire the items, however they price things higher than it cost the person in the first place. Recently, I had some good quality items to donate, however instead of selling them or bringing them to a second hand store, I put them out for our municipality’s ‘curbside giveaway’ weekend. I really wish that they did it a couple of times a year (Spring and Fall) instead of just once (Spring).

Great tips! I always put my purse in the grocery part of the cart, never in the seat. I've had someone comment on something I found. If I had been on the fence about it, I would've let her take it. I watch my cart like a hawk and always throw a piece of clothing over my possible purchases. Then I do a quick add up/edit before I go to check out. Thrift stores are a great place to look for replacement items like the plate from the set that is chipped/broken, etc.

I sometimes hold onto an item I like as I walk around the shop and then just before heading to pay I look at each item again in my hand, most end up being put back but I still get the dopamine hit of shopping, but not the guilt of purchasing unwanted items or bringing home new clutter!

I volunteer at a small country thrift store in Canada and it’s so easy to “fall in love “ or make “impulsive”buys working there. Then my daughter told me the one in two things out plus I need to know where it is going in my house and do I have a “home” for it. I’m a sucker for books. I love old books, cookbooks. Can you do a series on how a minimalist would handle this problem. I’ve got rid of a lot already because we moved into a very small house and I wanted to display them or is that considered clutter. Im looking forward to more in this series.

I have had to unsubscribe from other youtube channels because I did not feel like they were representing their lives honestly: they were showing a fairytale life. While it could be nice to watch perfect people who have everything figured out and live seamless lives, I prefer to watch channels like yours. Relatable and honest and true. Thank you! I LOL-ed a few times and smiled bc i had also recently come up with that 100% perfect or don't buy idea... if I don't feel like I cannot leave without it and guarding it... like how you felt about the Marie Kondo find... it's a "no."

Most of my possessions now are thrifted or second-hand. YES to the idea that if you don't 100% LOVE it, it's a no. I've also now arrived at the point where I'm not taking on any more projects. If a button needs to be replaced or sewn back on, no...worn elbows in a camel hair blazer are not getting patched, I'll get a new used one with good elbows...no more fixing moth holes in cashmere...no more buying something so I can clean the stain...the most I'll do is take wool pants to the tailor where she can fit them to my height. That's it.

I’ve heard from a family member that the Habitat for Humanity in Skokie has really great furniture pieces. Also, have you joined your local Buy Nothing group? You can get lots of great home items for free from your fellow neighbors. I would also drive around your local universities this time of year, end of the semester, as lots of grads are moving out of their apartments and just leave stuff out on the street. Lastly, there’s a free clothing swap at Uncommon Closet on June 26! Congrats on your new home! Can’t wait to see! 🏡🩷

Hi Marissa, Thank you for the tips. However, just to mention something about bed bugs. They are all over, including clothes and wicker items everywhere they can live and multiply. My advice to you and everyone who goes thrifting, is thst if you have a garage or if you live in a neighborhood where they don't take things, leave it out of the home, put it under the sun all day especially now in the summer where it's very hot, then, leave it in the middle of the garage where if there is something thst would crawl out of it, you will be able to see it and treat it accordingly. For garments and small items like linen, throw pillows, etc. 2 or 3 thorough hot wash cycles will do the trick.

Good grief; that fish mold brings back memories of my childhood. I remember my mom had one of those... As for clothing, having a list of garment measurements of items that fit well (and bringing a tape measure with you) can easily eliminate items that won't fit and save you time in the dressing room. (Or make the dressing room unnecessary!)

The Goodwill outlet stores can be even more ruthless. There are people that buy in bulk to sell overseas and sometimes they will elbow push and hurt you as you’re searching for items in the bin. In Seattle, it’s a huge problem that there have been times people have been kicked out of the store for aggressive or problematic behavior. But to be fair, there have been other times when people have been sweet and offered me something. They thought I might like or my little girl might like something.

I have been thrift shopping since I was a child, and you are so right about prices. Some stores are great, others are not worth a second visit, and some are in between. A great place to thrift items other than clothing are (Habitat for Humanity) Restore stores. My husband and I built a farmhouse and all of our cabinetry and most of our furniture came from Restore (otherwise we already owned what we needed). Like other thrift stores, prices can vary and tend to be higher the closer you get to a bigger city, at least in our experience. I must say though, that I have never had the experience of someone taking things out of my cart in a thrift store, probably because we live in a rural area. One thing that would be great for stores to bring back is a book exchange program; when I was young, you could bring in 2-3 books that you owned, and trade them for 1 book that the store had.

Thanks for the tip about trying on clothes. Im surprised that someone would take out of a cart - i heard it happen at hobby lobby from a friend but she had an employee see it and cobfronted the perpetrator

This was great fun. And fyi, you can easily clean glass baking dishes with a Brillo pad and just a little elbow grease. And yes on an empty house tour. Did you purchase a house?

Hi, Marissa. Excellent content today. Love your way of thoughtful thrifting by NOT falling for nostalgic items and treating thrifting shopping the way you should retail shopping . . . don't buy what you don't need and don't settle because of the price. This was one of the BEST thrifting videos yet, for me, because of your thought process. Seems simple, I'm sure some people are thinking. But, it can be overwhelming because we have "cheap" thoughts in terms of thrifting when it really comes down to wasted dollars. ❤ from Kansas City

Loved the tips on how you thrift shop. I always end up taking something home I didn't need. Will remember your good advice. The pink stuff would probably take stains off the porcelain dishes. But I hate how they have started raising prices in the thrift stores. So many people are reselling items now that it is ruining it for those who want or need to save. I would have left them behind too. I can't believe people actually take items from someone else's cart. What is this world coming to? Congrats on your new house!

Love this video!! I went thrifting yesterday with my mom and had several “catch and release” items. We also found several items for great deals, including an almost new Vera Bradley backpack for $10.
