What are the BINS really like? Crazy? People Watching at the Goodwill Outlet? ASMR Background Noise!

[@randytaylor8087]

I guess it's like a feeding frenzy 😮

[@ARuralSquirrel]

Nah! That’s what people say - but this video proves otherwise!

[@sandradriesen3656]

Bins here is so nuts too, I just stand and wait for the craziness to die down a little before I dive in!

[@ARuralSquirrel]

Sometimes the bins are crazy! Mostly just during a new rotation. But for the most part, they’re not that bad. Hope you’ve been finding great stuff when you go!

[@laurabenson5404]

So interesting, Kristin. I enjoy the bins, too…Just have to pick when and where I go here in the Denver area depending on my energy and ability to deal with people who sometimes forget their manners 😉😉😉 Wish you were still here so that I could take you out to lunch. Totally love your videos and radiant spirit 💗🌷💗 Cheering you on!

[@kboots4723]

How is it that you get to travel so much? I would love to be able to do that!!! I also like to see into the bins and see what good stuff is in them

[@ARuralSquirrel]

We just love traveling and make it a priority in our lifestyle. We spend a lot of time visiting family and exploring new places with them. Life is short and I don’t want to miss anything!! Even if it’s exploring close to home.

[@storagebandits7031]

Always enjoy your videos Kristin. Thanks for sharing my friend 🙂

[@ARuralSquirrel]

Thanks SB!! ‼️

[@jf4998]

I just found your videos. I live in Centennial and used to go to the Bins all the time but I’ve taken a couple years off, but I might get back into it fairly soon. I loved your video of your top 10 favorite bins around the U.S. I need to give the Denver one more of a chance and I do like the windows because the Platte river one doesn’t have them or Aurora. I would always find much better merchandise at Aurora and Platte River (Englewood) but your videos will probably get me to give Denver a chance again. I’ll say hi if I recognize you at some point!

[@ARuralSquirrel]

Hey! So glad you found my channel!! Thanks! I love going to Platte and Aurora too - always find great stuff! There’s a new one too - you’ll have to check that one out! (No windows though). Although I’m not in the Denver area anymore, I do try to get back there often!! Hope you say hi if you see me!

[@laurabenson5404]

Kristin, adore your videos and I also live in Centennial. Wishing you both all the best 🌸🌿🌷Aurora bins outlet (on Mississippi) recently closed sadly.

[@Sanity_Faire]

I think it would be fun to go bin hopping from city to city and hit them all :) I’ve been to several and my Nashville one is my favorite so far.

[@ARuralSquirrel]

It really is fun!! I love seeing the different bins all over the country!! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@doreenfrench7795]

Love it when your videos come out!!

[@ARuralSquirrel]

Awww!!! Thanks Doreen!! I always look forward to your comments too!! 💖

[@maggiecousineau1877]

Like to see in the bins, just looking at people looking in bins and wondering around was boring.

[@ARuralSquirrel]

LOL! I knew some people would definitely feel this way. Also wanted to be transparent for the people that are scared to go to the bins because they think it’s always total craziness! Thanks for indulging me though. Appreciate your candidness and for watching!

[@amymarchitello6152]

I like it when you show the bins and what you are looking at.

[@ARuralSquirrel]

More of that coming for sure!! Thank you so very much for watching!

[@tamarahayward9161]

I see the vintage tees gang 😊 different faces but same thing here at the Kansas City Bins. They can be SO rude!!!! I just let them do their 2 second dig 😂 I so enjoy your videos! Your personality is beautiful and gives out such positive energy!

[@ARuralSquirrel]

Ah the Tshirt Bros!! They are their own breed for sure! Gotta love them and appreciate their focus!! I like following behind them and just letting them do all the work of flipping through the mounds of clothes! LOL! Then, I pull out the things they miss!! 😂

[@brendatomlinson]

YAAAY shopping back in Denver!! 🙌🏻

[@ARuralSquirrel]

Yaaaay for Denver!! #myfavorite

[@Kristindoesstuff]

This was a cool idea… sort of like those people walking NYC. Very interesting to see style differences between Seattle and Denver. We loved Denver bins when we hit them years ago before last. Best find was a Mac Miller hat and a Howard University vintage sweatshirt. We met a cool couple and my wife got hit on by an older gentleman. Was a fun day! Been watching your vids a while now. My name is Kristin too… best name ever… am I right?

[@ARuralSquirrel]

Another cool Kristin that sells their name RIGHT!! Glad you’re here!! Thanks so much for watching!! Really appreciate it!!

[@karser6456]

Many thanks for your bins-ology 101 tips .Im heading to Oregon/Seattle on buisness trip but would like to make time for the bins , can you advise on the bigger/better bins in those states for older vintage clothing? Much obliged.

[@ARuralSquirrel]

I’ve only been to the Olympia, WA bins and one of the Seattle bins. IMO the Olympia bins were way more relax but the Seattle bins had tons more clothes - you’re probably better off going there for what you’re looking for. Have fun! Happy digging!!

[@karser6456]

@@ARuralSquirrel Much appreciate the swift reply, do you recall the specific bins in Olympia & Seattle you visited? I am assuming they would have more than one at each location.

[@eingram0989]

Hey Kristin! I am really enjoying your videos. They are super fun and informative. How do you set up your camera to be able to walk away and source? I would feel paranoid to leave it alone, but people are fairly self absorbed. Thank you for sharing!

[@ARuralSquirrel]

LOL! I get this question a lot but I can see where it would be a little freaky to just leave your phone unattended at the bins. I actually have it out of the corner of my eye all the time and prop it up in little nooks and crannies all over the store. People mostly leave it alone. I’ve only had 2 people try to pick it up - both employees. I think they thought somebody might’ve lost it or something. They were cool about it though. Love the question! Thanks for watching and being curious! 💖🐿️

[@my_favourite_finds]

Wow, it seems overwhelming! But if you are ever at the Greenwood or indy area bins, I'd brave it with you. Thanks for sharing!

[@ARuralSquirrel]

I hope to get over there another day sometime soon!!

[@DNLDVID]

What is the square footage of the She Shed? I would like to live in something like a tiny house.

[@ARuralSquirrel]

That’s a great question! This one is 216 square feet and could definitely work for a cute little home!

[@trinasthings]

Are they allowing people to hang out sitting in the floor on the other side? 25:20 Our bins have what we refer to as the “all day’ers”. Do you have those at your store too?

[@ARuralSquirrel]

I think there are “all day’ers” at every location I’ve ever been too. They’re real troopers because that’s a long day!! And I don’t think Denver cares if people sit on the floor - but I’ve been down there - it’s gross! 🤢

[@perfectlyblessd3939]

Crazy they empty the entire floor all at once. Don't know how I would like that!

[@ARuralSquirrel]

Isn’t it crazy?! It takes SOOOO LOOOONG too!!! Ugh!! I like it when I can dig somewhere else while they switch!! Thank you so much for watching!!

[@marketplaceboutique6957]

That one looks way too tame 😅 Happy findings ❤

[@ARuralSquirrel]

This is normal for a Tuesday afternoon honestly. Now, Saturday afternoons - that might be another story! LOL! Thanks for watching!!

[@Minnesota-girl]

Do you have bins by you, in Illinois, where you live now?

[@ARuralSquirrel]

Well, sorta! It’s about 60 miles away. I try to go as often as I can.

[@melissabarker2128]

You know, I like to watch your bins videos when you are talking through them so I wasn't sure I would like this one. But as I continued to watch I started wondering about all the people there and what were their stories, whey were they there, why did they get what they got? I guess that comes from the fact I am a professional archivist and genealogist as my day job, I am always fascinated by people stories and lives! Love your channel!

[@ARuralSquirrel]

Thank you so much for watching! I love your curious spirit! I wonder things like that too!!

[@timelesstreasuresbygina]

Hi Kristin, so no one walks away with your camera? Just wondering. Hope you’re doing well. 😊

[@ARuralSquirrel]

LOL! Sometimes people eyeball it really hard - and only 1 or 2 people have tried to pick it up - but nobody else had ever really bothered it to much. I always have it in the corner of my eye too. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching!!

[@bangkokshout]

How often do they rotate the bins in Denver? Is this the one in the northeast part of town?

[@ARuralSquirrel]

This is the one on Kearny St. They aren’t always consistent in the TIME that they rotate, but it’s often. Thanks so much for watching!!

[@bangkokshout]

Thanks!@@ARuralSquirrel

[@my_favourite_finds]

No carts in Denver?

[@ARuralSquirrel]

The cart situation is kinda weird… In order to get a cart, you have to secure it with giving them an ID and then, the carts don’t go in the aisles. They park them along the perimeter. When you’re done, and have unloaded your cart into your car, you return the cart to get your ID back.

[@BayouBelleVintiques]

Fake bins lmao Kristin ya know they are really crazy! 🤣🤣

[@my_favourite_finds]

Do you ever worry someone will steal your phone/camera?

[@ARuralSquirrel]

Yes!!! All the time!! I keep an eye on it out of the corner of my eye and I actually HAVE had people walk up to it and look at it - even look around to sees who’s phone it might be. Had an employee pick it up once too!! But most of the time, people just leave things alone that don’t belong to them. 😉

[@KV-xh2gp]

Hmm.. I watched about 20 minutes of random people walking around not even able to see what they're getting. I sure hope these people are OK with you filming them as well because if I was one of them and didn't know I was being filmed and then I see myself on KZbin, I'd be "Not Happy"

[@ARuralSquirrel]

Thanks for the comment. I actually have written confirmation from CO goodwill that filming is ok with them. Besides, they’re already filming us in public - and there’s “no expectation of privacy in public”. Appreciate the engagement. Happy picking.
