It’s so refreshing to watch someone thrift for the enjoyment and not for profit! Resellers have cut in on the joy of shopping for treasure. Please keep the videos coming!

I agree debbie. Why should GoodWill sell items knowing a reseller will buy and list it online for far more. It was a place for folks that could not afford to buy at retail prices.

@suzannelawson9215

I agree 100 % . These resellers are selling for huge profits. No wonder many thrift stores are raising their prices. Now many of us who cannot afford to shop at retail stores,,cannot go into a thrift store without seeing all these resellers snapping photos at every turn in the store, constantly looking up to see the value and some of them are very intrusive. I think that those of us on very limited incomes, senior citizens, can hardly afford thrift store prices nowadays.

I totally agree with you.

Finally find a thrift shopper who is NOT a reseller!!!! Geez, some of these resellers sell for exorbitant prices! I am not a reseller and I am a senior citizen with no car. Sometimes hard to get out on several buses each way to a thrift store. Wish I could afford to buy some things from these resellers but - their prices are too high. I know I have to pay for shipping of course but I'm talking about what these sellers are actually selling stuff for, (before the shipping cost.) So...it is nice to watch your videos and you are keeping these items and not reselling everything. Also, your videos are so informative too.

She gives things to her children or to others. That is so sweet. My sisters (2) both live in different states. My one sister and I thrift shops. We also share treasure that we find with each other. I found a pair of wooden Great Dane bookends yrs ago. I recently sent them to her with a few books and book markers. That just adds to the enjoyment of thrifting. Julie is very thoughtful of others when she shops.

Ohhh yes, the longer the better. I have been going back and watching your old videos..can't get enough of Thrilled Thrifter.

Because Goodwill has gotten so ridiculous with their prices, I now donate to my church.. the CEO has recd total compensation of one million, one hundred eighty eight,thousand, seven hundred thirty three dollars, including a base salary of $350,200, plus bonuses worth $87,550., retirement benefits of $71,050 and$637,864 in other reportable compensation.. these numbers are from Sept. 2019..sooo, no more donations to Goodwill until their prices come down.

I get it regarding the CEO. However, clothing is still cheap, imo. Brand name jeans for under $5(at my goodwill) I've found many items for super cheap. A glass water bottle that sells at Walmart for $20...$1.49 at goodwill. I really think the people in the back don't have a clue about pricing. Yes, they receive stuff for free, but they have huge trucks that haul stuff from place to place. If one store is in an area that gets an abundance of items and they can't store it all in that store...it gets sent to another location. Those truck drivers get paid...as do the other employees. They still have to pay electricity and water and whatever else comes along with owning a store. The only thing I will say is that they should pay their employees more if they can afford to pay the CEO that much. They could also not be cheap and have carts and bags..none of my Goodwills have carts anymore, nor bags. So if you forget a bag, you'll be hauling everything in your arms. I like to donate to local Christian based thrift stores. However, the closest one to me is 20 miles away. So I admit that when I really need to just get rid of stuff because the visual clutter is causing me anxiety...I gladly dump it all at the goodwill 2 miles away.

The exact reason I have watched you for years is because you thrift for the fun of it. During the pandemic when I couldn’t get out to shop, I binge watched all of your content. You really helped me through that and I started thrifting myself.❤

Julie , this is an idea I came across and thought you might like. Next time you find a shelf like the one that you put your glass salt cellar on, turn it upside down and use it to hold your cookbooks on display. ( A book shelf)

Restaurant put rice in their salt shakers to absorb the moisture and keeps salt from lumping.

Julie, I pour Himalayan salt through a strainer if it clumps. You can mash the clumps with a spoon. Turns out great! Some of those Christmas ornaments looked like they were Lenox. The Goodwill I shop never do the baggies. Neat candle with the wooden wick! Love the napkins in the bathroom! My mother taught us that “presentation is everything”! Since you showed the cedar chest, if you decided to buy it, you need to get some Howard Feed-N-Wax. It is made of beeswax and orange oil. You would not believe how just using that product brings dry wooden items back to life. No refinishing necessary. I found it at Home Depot here in Georgia. I have waxed 15 pieces thus far on items I have inherited. Have not used all of my first 16 ounce bottle. It feeds the wood and is amazing! Great haul!

The piece with the cardinal is missing a lampshade made out of the china that the piece you showed. Is is part of Lenox Christmas Greetings formal china collection.

To all of you sweet the thrifters- in addition to not using GW for donations any more I’ve found a thrift store that is nonprofit & all money goes to people who have either gone through substance abuse or prison etc- prices are also very reasonable for those on restricted budgets! I’m sure you can find some in or close to you! Serves the purpose that GW USE TO stand for💝💝

Put the salt in a plastic storage bag, roll with rowing pin, that might help.

I watch your videos for relaxation, enjoying your casual strolling, and as always, love to see how anyone styles or reuse their finds. I myself am a reselller. I like your return to longer videos, and even more like your regularity of weekly posting...I like knowing and look forward to seeing you on Fridays. From another Julie !!

I understand that Goodwill raised their prices but many other businesses have raised their prices too. I can't afford to buy clothes at Macy's, Kohl's and Target because it's too expensive. At Kohl's 1 blouse costs $40! Sometimes more than that. Macy's clothes are way expensive. Restaurants raised their prices too. I shop at Goodwill when I need something because it's what I can afford these days during this inflation that we are going through. I love the jar with the cork top with the handle. I also love the Christmas tin candle!! So beautiful ❤️ Julie I love your videos 💕💕

I like the longer videos Julie! I noticed the old West Bend cake carrier from the 1950s, you briefly touched and thought that would give a kitchen a retro vibe. They are expensive on etsy/ebay. Loved the vintage sifter, I have my grandmothers. I also loved the cedar chest. Fine steel wool and Restore a Finish works well to clean up old vintage furniture.

I love spending time with you...the longer the better 🙂

The best, fastest way to get stickers off is also the easier. Just put a damp paper towel on the sticker, let it sit for a couple of minutes. Always comes off in one piece and I've never had a sticky residue left. I don't have to use expensive oils or run hot water over it. I've done it this way for years, never had an issue. I've reached an age where I work easier and never harder😊

Hi Julie, wanted to say hi from Arizona. Enjoyed your longer video. Always like the tips you share on how to style items several different ways.

I collect vintage sifters. I have about 15 above my cabinets. When i see them in the store i have to resist as i have no more room. I like your decorating ideas using the sifters. Thank you for the lemon oil tip. I've been using that and the stickers come off so easy.

That made the cutest little salt jar! I love the Christmas tin, so pretty and would probably use it just for the tin itself! I with have definitely picked up the old tin pie pan, love the look of that piece. I love the fall art piece, its so pretty! Of course with green being my fav cool color, i loved the green transfer ware dishes💚 The napkins are so pretty! I found 2 similar to those that i just use in my decorations. I love pretty linens! They look really good layered in the bowl! I love to pick up old kitchen utensils & things like the sifter. Sifters are so easy to decorate with, i have one with a old rolling pin stuck in it, one has a tea towel in it. I like sticking different things in them, sitting them on a stack of plates, or just sitting them in a shelf with greenery.. so many ways to decorate with them! I have a really old piano bench that sat in my hallway with decor on it, it was given to me from an old pastor. Love the cedar chest, i'd love to have one!! I did enjoy the video, i like a longer one honestly! TFS😊

Love your videos so longer videos would be great!! Have a great day!!

Julie I knew as soon as I seen that little bowl you would use it for salt. Yes it looks so cute. You found some goodies this week. I can't get over the high prices at the goodwill.

A lot of beautyfull crochs and pitchures. I would love to find a sifter to put on my pegrail with vintage kitchenware Have a blessed weekend X
