My daughter and I go to Goodwill after we look over all the “treasures “ we find a “quite” spot and reevaluate our finds to buy or not to buy ,then I put things back on shelves we don’t want and my daughter pays for our stuff ! We go get hamburgers and fries and milkshakes ! That’s our Mom And Daughter Day at Goodwill or Ross

Awe, I do the same with my girls. Although its getting a bit expensive and I think theyre turning into future hoarders😜

So my ex step dad's new wife seen your videos and said "I seen this KZreadr called the crazy lamp lady and she reminds me of you" compliment accepted! I said "she's the reason I started reselling!" She said "NO WAY!' .. YES WAY THANK YOU JOCELYN FOR YOUR INSPIRATION!! LOVE YOU BIG! 💛Nicole

I work at a high end ladies apparel store,and we have to show our bags every time we leave the store. They have even talked about having us remove our outerwear to have it checked. I told them when they start that, I quit!

I was already a borderline hoarder...then I started watching your videos....now I have soooooo much stuff to sell, but I have not yet listed anything. I WILL list 20 items by the end of the week. I WILL, I WILL, I WILL.

Dear Karen, I always put stuff in categories -- 1) Stuff I love, not ready to let go of yet, 2) stuff I'm not sure what I want to do with it, 3) stuff to donate (to let go quickly), 4) and stuff to definitely toss -- like paperwork you don't need. If you have any doubts about what to do with something, literally sleep on the decision overnight. Your head will be clear in the morning, and you'll make a decision(s) really fast. Also, as you get into a rhythm of clearing, you'll get more done. I don't know if you're into affirmations or meditations, but praise yourself for facing the clutter. Remember, you may have to keep at this for the rest of your life...what are you trying to fill in your life? Give thanks for all the stuff you have -- and that you can donate or sell! Give praise to yourself for making room for more joy in your life. Be patient and gentle with yourself for being willing to face "the stuff." Remember, it's okay to keep what you love or aren't ready to let go of yet. Just do a small area at a time -- like a drawer, corner of a room, closet area, or whatever. Trust your intuition about where to begin. Put on nice music while you work. Pace yourself. Applaud yourself. Maybe limit your time to 15 minutes or 1/2 hour so you don't feel overwhelmed. You are not in a race. Take your time, and APPLAUD yourself as you lighten up! Best wishes on your journey, Dianna

When you picked up the set of chickens, I cheered for you!

When I worked retail in college I used to have my bag checked when leaving work. And that was back in the 80s - I had totally forgotten about that awful practice.

My niece worked for Sears for a very long time and they had to carry see through purses.

Sometimes people lose their homes and are put out and someone comes along and does a clean out and donates their thing they may not have given their child’s picture away it was a product of circumstance. Sad

If the ceramic cat has a chip and not marked as is. I would ask for a discount

I used to work at a Savers and it's standard to do bag checks on employees before they leave. It's for a good reason too as we did have a number of employees still try and steal things.

Lol, mug as a murder weapon. Keep the mugs away from Sue. JK! 😂

Always carry in your purse: a jeweler's loupe, tiny scissors, and measuring tape.

Our Goodwill and other thrift stores offers community service opportunities, so possibly that was why the had the bag check requirement.

Love the Royal Copley chickens. I used to collect Royal Copley. This was a great Goodwill trip.

I used to work for Dollar Tree & they checked our bags!!! Honestly, a dollar store. I felt so bad for the manager who was so nice but if he didn’t do it he would get in trouble from the higher ups. Ridiculous what the world ‘s come to🤷‍♀️

I worked at Sam's Club for almost 20 years. Employees had to open purses, lunch bags etc to the door checker before we were allowed to leave at my club's location. Very degrading. On a brighter note.. Love you, Sue and Andrew ! Best U Tube channel !

Just a quick suggestion, to protect your goodies from breaking, cut bubble wrap in 12 inch squares and as you place them in the cart layer the squares in between. Make a bag for thrifting, the squares, a magnifying glass, tape measure and wipes to remove "smuts".

i love your videos !! the two of you is having so much fun 😍#lovin it❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Lesson on if you can’t read something up close: take a picture and then make it bigger. It always works for me.

Yes! Sue looks amazing in all the colors of the ocean! 😍

So, funny you should mention the situation with the Goodwill employee. I recently dropped some donations at a donation location and as I walked up there was a beautiful cabinet. So I jokingly said, "can I just buy this right now, you wont even have to take it to the store". The employee looked around and said "here, load it in your car, the cameras won't see". He wasn't kidding. I told him, no, I don't want u to lose your job. But he was actually going to do it! I dont think it was his first rodeo. It happens more often than we realize.

Love the big cat! even with the chipped ear, I would have rescued it too. I thought about working at Goodwill but changed my mind. Love sue's Cat!! :)

Yesterday was my day at GW and I hit the jackpot. I got a large blown art glass vase for $9.99. When I went to wash it, it still has the art gallery's original price sticker on it, which GW didn't remove. It was originally priced at $220.00 I was ecstatic! It hasn't a nick, scratch, or chip, and is gorgeous. YAY!!! By the way, I do talk to myself when I'm thrifting. I'll catch myself saying things out loud like, "Sue would love this Rose Medallion, or Jocelyn would just say walk away!" I don't even care if folks think I'm weird. I embraced my weirdness years ago. I also hum a tune when I shop, it helps override the stores lousy music. Loved the video. As always it was a joy to watch. We shall call this your, "Year of the Cat!" Have a great day girlfriends!

Beautiful finds! I wish I could have transportation to go there! Love the cookware section! Beautiful cat!

Oh my gosh, I love everything. :D Especially the chickens. Also, at 5:11 - to the right of the little hair/wig thing, there were some whitish porcelain pieces with gold on them, it looked like. It looked like they were taped to a piece of cardboard. I wish I were there to take a closer look at them, they reminded me of these tall bird things (yay, birds!) that my grandma had on either end of her sofa. They were old.

Hi Jocelyn! When my kids were high school age, I used restaurant china from Goodwill for everyday dishes. Teenagers are rough on dishes! I don't know if it is attitude or what, but I saw my nice dishes going to trash, so I fixed the problem. After the kids were grown and gone, I sold my restaurant china for profit. :)

When I worked at Joann Fabrics I had to open my purse. Years ago I worked at a grocery store that all female employees had to carry a clear purse.

Oh my god! My heart just skipped a beat or two!! Okay! If you EVER find a green version of the glass pitcher top left corner at 9.57 I will buy it in an instant! I found mine in a junk shop in New York over 10 years ago, I went into the store several times during the trip, looking at the pitcher and debating whether to get it or not but ended up buying it and returned home to Denmark, clutching it in my lap on the flight! It almost got taken away by the stewardesse. I loved it so much and I have great memories from that trip and from the many times it has been used. Unfortunately it succumbed to a careless (very temporary) housemate that threw it into a box so it cracked and then hid it from me and .I was very sad about it. So if you ever find it in green.. I would be so happy. I have not seen one in Denmark. Sorry for the long story. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it in your video!

The jar with lid that you picked up and put back down that said Omnibus was Fitz and Floyd--this is on the bottom also in smaller text. I sold a small Omnibus F&F cream pitcher just today for $12.99 plus shipping.
