The freebie guy is the best. Your cousin’s video pops up in my suggestion feed all the time. I alway watch her open the grab bag.

[@joyindrelie6715]

Aww! Your cousin is Melissa! I love her!!

[@hfrisch007]

I was a para for over 10 years in our school system, and your right 5 the grade will be perfect for lots of these crafts and they can buy this stuff and start making gifts for people more at this age on their own, love that age.❤️ Mom of 7 Gramma of 7 live your channel

[@nawaalsataar8826]

Hi! Melissa suggested your channel... I'm from South Africa . No Dollar Trees... No Michaels... so I live vicariously through you guys. Looking forward to seeing wat u have to offer.

[@janiceray3128]

Love, love, loooove Melissa,I came over from her channel and are following you too. I absolutely enjoy the Michael’s grab boxes. As a fellow crafter I drool over the boxes.

[@conniehahn4577]

How exciting you are giving to the school store. The kids will be excited. ( as you said better than socks ) I would love to get something my child made from those kits.

[@rebeccameinzer8551]

Make sure you go when they do the back to school season. I am a Paraeducator a teacher at outr school got 8 boxes and she got amazing classroom decor stuckers, teacher planners so fun!

[@lynettealexanderxoxo]

I follow ur cuz but I ran into you by total chance!!! I liked it you was s happy . I always said a teacher needs these. I have 3 girls so I have donated alot.

[@laurenverde3077]

I was just watching your last video! I've been watching you for years now and you are just so genuine! Love your videos 😀

[@themissalliecakes]

Oh thank you thank you so much for your support and for being here for multiple years. That means so much to me. Very grateful for you

[@amynick]

You are a natural KZbinr!! Glad Melissa sent me.

[@lilysmith942]

I totally need to track these down! I, too, teach, and love getting things for the holidays for the kids (probably from my own blessed childhood and my time in a title one school) so they have at least one gift for the celebration. This seems like a great way to do it without breaking the bank!

[@brittanyferran8056]

I didn’t know melissa was your cousin! I’ve been watching both of your videos for years!

Thank you for sharing. I came from Melissa’s channel and I just subscribed to yours too, you are so sweet and adorable. I love the idea to take some of these to school for your kids to buy for their families ❤️❤️

[@themissalliecakes]

Thank you so much for subscribing and for being here :-) I am very grateful. I was blown away with how many incredible things I received inside of those boxes. I still can’t believe they’re only five dollars each. I’m really looking forward to getting more. My school store is going to be Poppin LOL

I wish Michaels did one of these filled with classroom supplies!

I enjoyed this unboxing! Im gonna have to check out my own Michael's stores nearby to see if they carry those.

[@sunnyscott4876]

I'm here from the Cheap Chick channel. Hello to you. 💜🌻❤ I just happened across your channel by accident. I never buy mystery 📦 boxes 📦 but they are fun to watch.

[@quinniraechel]

i love finding youtubers that are close to me! 😂 im not sure where you went for these, but the dartmouth ma michaels has them fairly often!

[@carriboberry1]

the boxes I got in September 2020 was all teacher stuff, boarders, posters, UNDATED PLANNERS!!!

Looking forward to some more videos 🙂🙃😎

[@themissalliecakes]

Thank you so so much for being here :-) it means so much to me. I had to search high and low for these boxes. This is the first time in an entire year that I actually was able to get my hands on them. Hoping to get many more in the future. Such a great deal for my classroom store. I think I’m going to have a lot of happy students, and hopefully a lot of very well behaved students ha ha Ha

[@christinewilder73]

Hi from Melissa’s channel I believe those grab bags are a teachers best discount items . I know teachers spend a lot their own money on supplies. These are great usage for multiple items ( like the ones Melissa and dad got those little tiny stockings . That was so funny

[@themissalliecakes]

Thank you for being here for Melissa’s channel :-) Melissa my uncle and my aunt together are hysterical. It is always so much fun to watch them. I’m so grateful for these boxes for my classroom. I’ve been wanting them forever

[@carolynparker918]

Melissa is the reason I started getting them! I love when Melissa does them with her dad! I live in Norwood , Ma if I get some items I'm not gonna use i will reach out to you to donate for your school.

[@janetbarth5372]

Yes do it love your channel and listen to milisa she's great and you will be too keep it going girl loved how you presented your first video to me was amazing 👍

Came from my favourite YT channel "The Cheap Chick" to see what grab bag goodies you managed to get , and wow you picked the perfect boxes they look super fun for taking to school and crafting yourself

[@anna-mariebloomer8504]

Hi there came here from Melissa's but love your energy. Love the boxes. We don't have a Michaels in South Africa but living through you guys lol

[@JBIRDRN8]

I wish my Michaels had these. You got some amazing things!!

[@themissalliecakes]

I wish my Michaels had these as well lol I had to drive over 40 minutes to get these. Come on Rhode Island get your stuff together ha ha Ha. I hope that one of your Michaels gets these in the very near future for you :-)

💖👍 Wonderful stuff! No boxes in Canada 🇨🇦😟 just bags but still some decent stuff! What a total score for you and your school!👍💖

[@themissalliecakes]

I am so blown away with the value of these boxes. I have been wanting these for my classroom forever. I had to drive almost 40 minutes to get them lol but well worth it my classroom store is going to be off the hook lol

[@iluvstuff6618]

@@themissalliecakes I remember going to the school"store" for my reward when I was a kid. My choices were the BIC 4 colored pens, fruit eraser pencil toppers, book marks and occasionally a book or 2. I thought all THAT was off the hook! If I were to see a craft kit.......😨 my mind would have been blown!!😊So great 👍👍

[@lilgiggler35]

I love grab bags but the closest Michaels is about 2 hours away. they do occasionally have them but i always seem to miss them.

[@colleensedote1901]

You hit the jackpot on the boxes. I have only gotten them a couple of times, and every time I got them they were filled with all the items the same.

[@JodisPanacheJodisPanache]

Great boxes. Melissa follows The Freebie Guy. He also has a KZbin channel.

[@themissalliecakes]

She just turned me onto him recently. I just started following him on Instagram but I didn’t know he had a KZbin channel as well :-) I need to check that out now. I got hooked onto his Instagram instantly

[@carriejames7277]

I don’t see your cuz Melissa channel the one you said where you got the idea cause would love to Check out her KZbin channel

[@meganziegelmeyer3564]

I actually work at Michael's and let me tell you these things go quick. We ended up having about 30-40 of the grab bags this time around and half of them were gone within the first hour of opening and all of them were gone by the end of the day. Definitely a hot ticket item

[@themissalliecakes]

For sure :-) I couldn’t believe they were still some left when I got there. When I called she said that they had some left but it was a 40 minute drive for me. I was going to be so upset if I drove all that way and they were all gone. I got lucky. Are you able as employees to purchase these boxes?

[@meganziegelmeyer3564]

@@themissalliecakes No the employees can't buy them unfortunately. And I will say it was interesting to see that you got a lot of crafts in your boxes. I know at my store we had a lot of multi-packs of ornaments, a bunch of garland, and a lot of party supplies/decor left as well that went into the boxes.

[@irenepapadimatosgeorgatou4876]

Wow!

[@tacccog9420]

This makes me sad that I live in the UK. We need Michaels!

[@thingsaboutlife602]

[@LadyDianaBarnes]

Loved your video - great find! Would you please ask your cousin Melissa of Cheap Chick to add your youtube channel link in her youtube channel info section. I found you once, and almost didn't find you this time (now I'm subscribed!). Thank you!

[@lauriedaniele5967]

The kids make bracelets out of that string so they would probably really like it at Christmas they make them for their friends.

[@carolynparker918]

Omg I wanted to get Buffalo Plaid in mine for next Christmas 🎄 where did you end up going? My store just had bags which had crafts which is fine. But your boxes are awesome ☺️ I would be willing to purchase some of those items and pay for shipping if interested.

[@LPSSkyRockets]

Cool 😎

[@Nikkishops2022]

I wish we had this shop here in Ireland. Great video!

[@jodiwillmitch880]

I am going to have to see if Michael's store around me has $5 grab bags I love the stuff you get in them.

[@lauriedaniele5967]

Did something really cool that you can do my sister and I will put them up in people's homes on their fireplace put candles in between and then wrap either bows or some Christmas ornaments to have them hanging down and it comes out really pretty

[@kekiowolf5993]

You're adorable!! Glad I popped in. I'm from your cousins place, cheap chick. Love her and the fam ❤. Let's see you grow too!! I homeschooled my kids and love that you are a mind feeder too! Lol. Howee/Thank you for making our future brighter and better! Blessings 🌊🐢🦉💫

[@dannielleuhrich627]

What a Deal!! I can't believe all the cool stuff u get!

[@themissalliecakes]

I’m still blown away :-)

[@123j109]

Do they do them for Fall/ Halloween??

[@themissalliecakes]

Oh my gosh I would cry happy tears if they did a fall Halloween one. My cousin got some fall items in her February box but I unfortunately didn’t get any. I’m definitely calling next year and figuring that out because fall is my absolute favorite :)

[@patriciaanderson2721]

you can take one of them and your bows to decorate your classroom. I came over from the cheap chick. lol 😆

[@themissalliecakes]

Yes yes yes :-) that is exactly what I plan on doing. I’m gonna take one of the pinecone garlands as well as a couple of the Bose to decorate my classroom for Christmas :-)

Great suggestion :-) PS thank you so much for finding me :-)

[@jeanmtullis604]

Allie I have been watching your videos and remember 11 months ago you were doing pins and getting alot of whinnie the phoo which yes I believe was a sign of your up coming pregnancy. But I was wondering would you accept donations for your school store to help you as a Teacher I love that you do this. Btw Mellisa sent me!!! 💖💖💖💖💖

[@themissalliecakes]

Thank you so much for watching my channel for so long :-) I’m actually filming a new Disney pin video tomorrow and I cannot wait. That video was crazy where I got so many Winnie the Pooh pins ♥️ You are so sweet for offering to donate to my school. I don’t have anything as of now but maybe that is some thing I would think about doing in the future. It would be nice to replenish my stock once in a while. You are far too kind. Thank you so much for being here.

[@carrieaggas2680]

You done really well on the content in those boxes, in uk we do not have these, I would love to get these . Xx

[@themissalliecakes]

Do you have Michael’s in the UK? I wish all Michael’s would carry these. They are so awesome. I can’t wait to get more next time around :-) thank you so much for watching

[@carrieaggas2680]

I wish we had a michael's, we only have pound shops, I guess same as your dollar store. Xx

[@ZoelovesRestlessRoad]

I work at a Michaels and my store has them.

[@territhreet]

How do u know when this is happening?

[@natalialove7034]

These are awesome. I can also suggest that you & other teachers put $20 in once a month & order bulk items from oriental trading. They sell loads of school supplies & toys.

[@Courtneyburns90]

I know Allie kinda alluded to this but i'm not in America but surely all school supplies and crafts should be provided by the school?! It shouldn't be up to teachers to buy supplies.

[@paulanapier6302]

[@themissalliecakes]

yessss I’m so hooked on him now :)

[@lauriedaniele5967]

If you take those bows and fluff them out they look beautiful they have wire in them. These are only suggestions I know this because we decorate people's houses for Christmas my sister owns a florist and she buys all the stuff for Christmas and people just come in and buy the tree the way she sets it up and she goes in their house and sets it up

[@themissalliecakes]

I love that idea :-) such great items for such an expensive prices :-) I can’t wait to get more in the future

Hello 👋

[@themissalliecakes]

Hi hi hi :-)

[@kmo3811]

Everything starts out SO OVERPRICED that when they put it on sale it's still priced too much. The box might be $5 but I've seen very few boxes that I would want. Good for someone who likes to craft, though. Joann Fabrics likes to do the same super overpriced than have 40% off or so sales so you might think you're getting a good price.

[@Courtneyburns90]

I'm not American but why on earth are you and other teachers buying the school and craft supplies? Surely they should be provided by the school and not out of your own money. I know $5 is not much but that's outrageous!

[@elizabetherne556]

My daughter teaches second grade. Since this is her first year teaching things are somewhat tough financially for her at times. I’ve ordered stuff for her class from Oriental Trading to help her out. I’ll be looking into if any Michaels around me do this also.

[@Courtneyburns90]

Why is she buying her own supplies? Surely the school should provide them. So unfair!

[@SteepedlnStories]

Why do we teach kids to shop but not how to save or do taxes in school.... Capitalism... Working out well for us isn't it? 😩 😢

[@themissalliecakes]

I actually do teach finances in my 5th grade classroom ♥️ they also have lots of things to buy in the store from a pencil that’s 2 tickets up to a craft kit that might be like 100 tickets. So they need to learn how to save their tickets for multiple weeks and be safe with their money (tickets) because if they lose them they’re gone they don’t get them back :) 200 tickets is lunch on the teacher (where I will buy them lunch from a local restaurant). So saving and finances is greatly a part of it all :)

[@lauriedaniele5967]

His name is the freebie guy he's on Instagram and he tells you when these boxes go on sale before they go on sale
