THRIFTING Tips & a Haul!

Join me for some excellent thrift store shopping! I'll share 21 of my favorite thrifting tips and tricks with you while we browse through the thrift stores. At the end of the video, I'll show you my unexpectedly large haul. For fans of my furry friends, Indy, Iris & Licorice will all make a (chaotic) appearance during the haul segment.

Enjoyed this video. So many useable & reasonable tips. I love that you are so “down to earth” & always eager to learn. I lol when you called yourself a “goof ball”; I use it frequently. 😂

I had commented before your haul portion. I am so glad you bought the 1930's soup bowls, they are wonderful.

Quick tip. For great deals try church or organization tag sales. They get donations from all over town and prices are usually cheap/reasonable. Try Notre Dame Tag Sale on the first Saturday of the month in the church basement. Route 17 / main street Durham, CT.

Thank you so much for the tip! I'll definitely check them out!

10:25 I’ve been seeing some interesting ice buckets lately & with summer around the corner they’ll be useful. 13:41 that’s a cute milk glass bowl & milk glass is making a big comeback.

[@WorthingtonHome]

Milk glass is so timeless and elegant! I have a few pieces that haven't sold for me yet, but sometimes it just takes a little time. I really like ice buckets. We have quite a few at my house!

I recognized Worthington Ridge. So fun! I live near the steeple. I just know I'm gonna run into you one of these days. Lol

[@WorthingtonHome]

Small world! If you ever see me out and about, please say hello! I would love to meet you!

[@sandranorden5217]

Hi Chris! That’s my Savers, perhaps I’ll run into you someday!

[@WorthingtonHome]

If you ever see me there, please say hello! I would absolutely love it!

Thank you for all the great tips. Especially the ones about putting the items in your cart while you think about it, and also for checking the items for damages. I find that when I go back for something I saw someone else has snatched it up. When I find a wonderful item I am so excited that I forget to check for damages. I also shop at Savers for myself and gifts for friends. I am not a reseller. I was impressed with how you check for damages to ensure that you are selling something in your eBay store without damages. Good luck with your store.

Thank you so much for watching and leaving me a comment! There's NOTHING worse than putting something back on the shelf, then changing your mind, going back for it and finding that it's gone! It's also a bummer to bring home damaged items which I've done more times than I care to think about. I try to learn from my mistakes!

How nice of you to make this video, Chris 😊 You have included great points to remember! I'm so glad you were able to go back to get the panda prints! And - crazy old lady syndrome 😅😅 I think many of us suffer from that lol. Have a wonderful day! ~ Jeri

[@WorthingtonHome]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching and empathizing with my crazy old lady syndrome! 😂😂

Picked up some great finds! I have Sakura dished and mugs and they’re some of my fave! Question: Is that a real lit taper candle on your table?

[@WorthingtonHome]

Nooooooo. We don't light real candles right now. The cats would knock them over and burn our house down! 😂😂

I appreciate your suggestions and tips for the best use of monies to purchase resale items. No matter how long you have been doing it, sometimes the awesomeness clouds your vision to any issues on the piece. While you were at the Salvation Army and had picked up the handled 1930's clear glass, possibly soup bowls! Those are what Scott, from Old Curiosity Shop would know all about. While your out and about, also look for Villeroy & Boch who does beautiful dinnerware as well as tiles. No Savers in my area, it is startling to see the prices on the pieces of fire king, uranium items, and any pyrex; those used to be reserved for ANTIQUE SHOPS, not a THRIFT STORE. It was a tidy and organized Salvation Army, they weren't always so nice and roomy.

[@WorthingtonHome]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I've been looking for Villeroy & Boch recently and found a really nice piece, but too much damage on it. It's such a shame when that happens - and it happens a lot!

[@bonniebrown6818]

I wish you would do more videos showing how you stage your finds and less time showing what you see in your thrift stores. I have seen a lot of items I would like to have but don’t have any way of buying them.

[@WorthingtonHome]

I try to do some staging when I can, but sometimes I'm just buying for resale. I'll try to do more. Thanks for watching!

[@DJIcenhower]

Why in the world would you wait until the end of the shopping experience to check each item for damages and decide whether or not it's worth the expense? By waiting until the end and putting things back in places where you didn't originally find them, you are just necessitating the need for the store to raise prices on their products for the rest of us. Very inconsiderate!

[@WorthingtonHome]

I check as I go, but also do a final check at the end to make absolute sure that everything is okay. Some damage can be quite subtle. For the video, I just show myself putting things back on the nearest shelf. After I film, everything goes back where I found it. I've actually said that before in some videos, but perhaps I didn't in this one.
