Garage, estate sales, and flea markets are the way to go nowadays. Goodwill is pricing stuff at or above what you'd buy it retail, I told one of the worker's that I'm sure they don't control it, but we can shop at HomeGoods and spend less. I feel especially bad for people that rely on Goodwill for their needs. You price like I do when I sell anything, a price that's still a great deal for the next person and takes care of my expense and time. I wish you continued success, have a great day!

Our thrift stores have jacked up their prices so, so high that it's barely worth it to go anymore.

Thanks for explaining how you price things. Your prices are extremely reasonable. Things have gotten very high in the thrift stores. To the point they need to drop the word thrift. I’ve seen several where they’re prices are as high or higher than new retail. It’s just crazy. Thanks Kelly

I have purchased things that were too shiny and then sprayed them with a matte clear spray and it really works to remove that shiny look

the wooden bowl at minute 21.04 in the video is a nut cracker bowl. you would fill with mixed nuts and the center piece is where you lay the nut to crack it with a wooden mallet that came with the bowl. We always had one on the coffee table around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I just love to watch what you choose to purchase. You have such excellent taste. Love your channel too. Thanks for taking me shopping with you!

[maryellenkrause]

I like your prices. It is so good to see reasonable pricing.

Great finds! The prices at the Salvation Army in Grand Rapids have gone up but not as much as other thrift stores in the area. I understand that their overhead has gone up like everyone else's, but it does cut into our own profit margins. You're right, the best prices are often and garage sales.

I keep my prices so reasonable when selling. My local thrifts prices have skyrocketed and sometimes make no sense.
I love your videos!!

Kelly….. I miss these stores!!! I moved to Ohio last spring from Michigan! I agree, these stores are awesome! I now live vicariously thru your thrift hauls.

[juliemiller]

Kelly…I love watching your videos and thank you so much for doing one on prices!! I’m working on doing a Christmas show in my hometown and really needed this video! Also, never be afraid to “shave” a throw blanket to remove pilling! Amazon sells this weird pet hair remover rock called Fur-Zoff that when used with light pressure gets all the fur and pulling off fabric! It’s amazing!! Thank you again and hello from Ohio!! ❤

[crystalparker]

The really ornate black thing...I would have bought that. That's the only thing I hate about thrifting videos. Seeing things I would buy, lol. But I love everything else about it and thank you for telling pricing.

I’m a fellow Michigander and this was helpful. Apparently I need to stop by a couple of these stores because the ones I have been in have not been that great (in the metro Detroit area). I need to branch out ☺️ but not go too crazy, my house doesn’t need much these days but I love finding a treasure or something special.

[KSprague]

Our thrift stores and Goodwill are way overpriced right now, too. Hopefully it doesn't stay that way. Thanks for sharing!!

[maggiepadilla]

Years ago, i got a very similar metal basket for around $3. I made a mattress, pillow and doll blanket for my granddaughter for her first American Doll baby. So cute.❤️

[lisaconnelly]

I really love that you're sharing what the items will sell for. I am new at stocking a booth that I sell crafts and upcycled items and this really helps me out❣🤟

[brenda]

WOW. The thrift stores in Michigan have the mother lode. The stores in Ohio don’t come close. I went to 3 stores today and found a Christmas oven mitt. I’m going to Michigan in the spring. Save me some good stuff Kelly. 😊

Hey CT love that you remember me - but you need to get over here cause I want you to push me around in a wheelchair and do sunflower crafts with me on our somewhat matching countertops AND eat Mexican food! Love you❤

[berniceblundon]

Hi Kelly. Wow! You found so many awesome things. I really enjoy your videos and I look forward to them each week. ❤❤❤❤

Great tips on pricing. I'm jealous of other people's thrift store prices - here in the midwest they are waaaay too high. On that chandelier print, I would have taken a chance and sprayed it with some matte sealer. I tried that on another piece I had that I love but was way too shiny and cheap and it turned out awesome!
