I found a tip for thrift stores without a changing room. Wear thin leggings and a sleeveless shirt under your clothes. You can try on the clothes over them without having to get completely undressed.

I can't fathom trying on used clothes! I take things home and wash them. I even wash new clothes from regular stores. Who knows where it's been, how many hands have touched it, where it's been stored, how many other people have also tried it on, etc. I guess I am an easy person for clothes because I still wear the same size I did in high school. It's rare that I think something will fit me and it does not. But, yeah, no clothing is touching my body until it's washed!

@@Yesica1993 Some people have a hard time finding clothes that fit just right. I just shower after thrifting and wash the clothes before I wear them. I'd be wasting a lot of money if I just bought things only to find out I couldn't wear them.

Vika I have more clothes than you can ever imagine. I was going to start my own shop online. If you want to tell me your sizes, I’ll mail you all kinds of clothes and shoes. I actually broke a walk-in closet. I have a great shopping eye and have more than you can imagine. My kids never ruined their clothes. Ever. I figure it’s a gift God gave me so I’m more than willing to share. I could mail to a PO Box in Georgia. I’m just a regular mom. Much love🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

@@lauralutz4538 my best friend grew up in the USSR. She never had new clothes until she moved to America. She had all hand me downs. Things are not made the same or have the same quality. Victoria is a minimalist so most likely Agatha wears through her clothes cause she doesn’t have a closet full like Americans. Let her be a kid. They’re both adorable. I’ve had a blessed life and I would not care to share with someone else and pay whatever postage. I know it’s very expensive. My bff still has family overseas. I offered and Victoria is the type that would never ask. There’s another Russian KZreadrs we all showered with gifts when they had their baby. They were so grateful and such kind people like Victoria and Tolya. They left their home country and will never be able to return. Toylike would go to prison! We don’t understand what that’s like. We’ve never had war on the continental United States but we’re probably going to. A little kindness, thoughtfulness and thinking of others who haven’t had the same opportunities as us is the right and moral thing to do in my mind and heart. You can’t help where you were born. God loves us all.❤️

Praying for you and your family in these difficult times. Thank you for your family friendly content.

Very cute clothes for your girls❤ Kids grow out of clothes so quickly, no need to spend a fortune on expensive items, I agree.

Love your videos. Very sensible getting children's clothing from thrift stores. You have found some lovely pieces! Im sorry youve had some not so nice comments on thrifting for little ones. People complaining about cleanliness, may never have seen online pictures of garment factories where new clothes are made. You are making wise decisions for your little family. Sorry those lovely dresses were the wrong size for you, they were very nice indeed. Love & prayers from Australia.

Good finds for the girls! Fun to see thrift shops there. Day in the life videos are great to see the local culture. Thank you!

That was interesting and observational. Here in the UK our second hand clothes shops are called 'charity' shops, which is not the best name for those using them. Much better to use the term 'Thrift' because that imparts the label of a person with good sense using them.

Ahaha the makeshift dressing room in that one shop! "You need a dressing room? I'll make you a dressing room," *proceeds to slide a clothes rack in front of you*

Great haul. Textile waste is one of this worlds biggest environmental problems, so it's smart to reuse as much as we can.

I used to thrift shop for my Adeline (she's older than you)! And would always wonder: Who were the magic children who wore these clothes and didn't spill their breakfast, lunch and dinner down the front of them. I wear aprons now when I eat at home! It never stops.

You got the right idea, going thrifting for children's clothes. I used to do the same thing when my kids were little, and it evolved into getting some of our adult clothes there as well. We also would get toys and books second hand. Nowadays it's actually the trendy thing to do. Saving money and keeping stuff from going to landfills. 👍

Hema is a great typical Dutch store! ❤ They have stores in some other European countries too. I loved seeing your thrift shops and your haul!!

Your such a wonderful person. Wise beyond your years!! I love watching your family. ❤❤❤❤

HEMA is a big store with quality stuff in the Netherlands 👍

We have some second hand stores with no real changing room, so I started wearing a tank top and leggings so I can put things on over them without actually undressing. It's not as easy as normal try-ons but I feel more comfortable than either no try-on or semi-undressing in less than private conditions.

The one fabric you didnt know.. is called a waffle knit fabric ❤ but Im canadian and we have several funny names for it. Thermal wear, and long johns just to name a couple 😂 but the one you bought is so cute

In the states, I have found the best thrift clothing and furniture stores are those that give the money from sales to handicapped Veterans. I think we can all relate to helping out Veteran’s and I’m happy to donate there as well.

The mauve, flowered pants for Adaline, we call "thermal" here in the US, and they are typically worn under jeans as an extra layer, but nowadays they make thermal tops that can be worn alone, or in a child's case, just pants to be worn around the house.

Wow, that onesie from ''Hema'', that's a Dutch department store! It reached all the way from the Netherlands to Georgia!😁

And so funny that Hema romper ended up in Georgia. Hema is a Dutch department store and many parents say those rompers are the best and really good quality.

Love this kind of videos! I really like your positive attitude even though you didn’t find anything for yourself, as they say: Another day another dollar!

all the patterns make me so happy 😀 thanks

The "royal blue" color dress that you considered looks so nice with your complexion

It feels like you are a friend to go thrifting with 😊 I also dislike those stores where you have to really dig into the stuff, just not inviting 😅 cheers from Finland!

Oh I love thrifting and this was a good therapy to see you go shopping and going through already loved clothes.😍❤️ Regarding the quality of clothes, I was once discussing secondhand clothes with my friend who's a sewer lady and she told me very good thing about it. That those clothes are even better than the ones in stores, because they were already washed multiple (many) times before, so the quality and state of the fabric is already "shown" when you buy it. It's not a surprise as if the clothes were new, you come home, wash then and they fall apart. As you see thrifted clothes in the shop, that's how the fabric quality and stretch is going to look like when you wash it, it's a done and honest deal. 😊 if that makes sense. English is not my first language

Great video as always❤️ I love those hectic streets of Tbilisi so much😌

My kids are grown-ups now, but I raise them in mostly secondhand clothing. I still buy almost everything I wear from secondhand shops as well. You cannot beat the prices. 14:12 14:15

Hi! So you already got a lot of comments about the onesie from the HEMA wich is indeed a dutch departement store. But RETOUR is also a dutch brand! It is a children clothing brand who are especcialy famous for their jeans. ❤️🇳🇱

"...and the cat..." hahaha! I LOVE the "Janice" sweater! I'm sure Agatha loves it already :)

All the clothes were super cute fit the girls. Also loved the vibes in that funky thrift store lol

Thrift stores and even outlet stores in the US are getting expensive except for Goodwill. I can always find better bargains online lately. You found some really great buys. I liked the dresses. I totally agree with thrifting kids clothes. They grow so fast and can be very hard on the wear and tear.

I am also just a regular person so I really enjoy seeing your regular life too. I love thrift stores! If I can ever come to Russia i will visit yours too.

If kids clothes are cotton (or other natural material) and they’re stained, you can dye them to bit darker or brighter color and stains will not be visible at all:) that’s what I do with my clothes - I dye them and they become as good as new. Also do this to clothes that I won’t keep, just so they can be used longer by someone else instead of going to landfill.

I do this, either to change the colour or, very often, I'll redye black clothes 'Black' again. They can quickly look a bit washed out but this makes them as good as new. Just done this with 3 white tee shirts (I realised I don't suit white anymore) so they're beautiful and black. And 4 pairs of my sons shorts, which I'll now put away until next year. As good as new

You found some lovely and cozy items for your girls. I enjoyed seeing the thrift shops. Thanks. :)

You found a lot of cute clothes for your kids. Over here we don't have as many thrift stores unfortunately but we have flea markets and there is an online shop where I usually buy used clothes but you can search on it for used clothes that are still in good condition or nearly new. A lot of my favorite clothes are actually second hand 😊

Super cute clothing. My son and his wife are having a baby girl any day now and I can hardly wait to get them more than I already have. I raised 2 boys and we have far more boys in our family than girls so I know I’ll have fun.

This was interesting. I saw a lot of cool "edgy" shoes and boots. The items you picked are so cute. 🥰🇺🇸

Those dresses you held up were really cute! Kids grow out of clothes so fast, we have stores here that are discount stores and you can find inexpensive clothes for kids that are new, we also have thrift stores but sometimes they charge more than discount stores! You did good on your finds!

Hi there, Kefir is also popular drink in Poland. It is fermented milk and it is good for better digestion. I usually buy it during the hot summer days.

Wow, great, stylish clothing at fantastic prices! Those are my favorite kind of stores to shop in and I could spend several hours shopping without breaking my budget!😅

Vika, I can relate, every time I go out shopping for myself, I end up buying things for my daughter and not for me. 😄

Loved seeing what the thrift stores were like - thank you for taking us along!

When they are kids, they can wear anything. Hand me downs, whatever. Its when they grow up and get fussy that you will have the problems! Dresses are cute! 💙

I only buy thrifted clothing! Just did my winter haul since i needed a coat, boots, EVERYTHING. I inly spend 200 and i have everything i need, including 2 jackets, 4 pairs of shoes/boots, pants, sweaters and cardigans ❤

love to see the hectic streets and fairs in Russia, I could always find the beautiful and real life scenes in your vedio❤

Love seeing this. LOVE the blue velvet dress. You really suit red so I hope you find something red! In New Zealand Children’s thrift clothes are very cheap but adult thrift clothes are getting way too expensive

Really fun video, thrifting is always a fun adventure! In American English I would call the one pair of children’s pants w flowers a waffle material.

Love the sweater for Agatha!!!!

The cute pants for Adeline with the blue flowers are thermal pants or waffle fabric. Its such a soft, warm fabric and wonderful for winter! Clothing just isn't well made anymore, the fabrics wear out quickly, they grab onto stains and don't release them as well and even the seams are not the same quality anymore. Anytime you can buy used and save the difference is the best way to purchase children's clothing! If you do a Q&A anytime soon, can you talk about how different it is where you are living compared to Russia, including cost of living and the difference in weather in each season! It would be so interesting to hear this information. Also how school is there compared to Russia and what age children are required to start. Are you legally allowed to homeschool in Russia or in Georgia?

Nice kids clothes. Good luck for yourself

Thank you Vika for this nice tour around these very interesting secondhand shops. I am glad that you could find some beautiful clothes for your kids!! Wow Adeline has started walking. I must say that these clothes are really fantastic with beautiful colours and above all warm! Next time you will certainly find nice clothes for you and Toyla.
