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

Omg yes they have! I have seen quite a few items with the original price tags still attached and the thrift stores prices were higher than the store!!!!!!! I have been a thrifter since the 80's and it has gotten to the point where I go in looking for the tags that are onsale for that week.

Yes, I have seen thrift store staff checking online sales price. No more deals for folks who are not looking to flip the purchases. Flippers are almost being pushed out.

I agree.They would rather throw away all the access that doesnt get sold instead of pricing things reasonably

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

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 watch a lot of crafting videos, but I like yours the best. When you and Jenny work together it is always a hoot. I especially like your shopping videos. In fact I don't watch any other shopping episodes. I have tried and I find them so irritating. Yours are always light and fun and you actually buy stuff. I make up my mind quickly and it seems you do that too.

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 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.

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!!

I think the reason for the high prices at the thrift stores is because they know people are buying to resell. They research what the original price was and they go on eBay to see what they are selling for. That’s how they are pricing what they are selling. My mom was a thrifter and I bought almost everything at thrift stores and garage sales to make our money stretch. I still buy 98% of our clothes and decorations at thrift stores. I know that a lot of people do it as a side hustle but it’s ruined it for the rest of us.

@thatgirlirish5492

Yep I have to agree, the reselling aspect is ruining it for the rest of us just trying to find a decent deal on things. There’s a lot of it now because of the granny chic style and people not wanting or being able to afford these ridiculous retail prices at box stores.

Makes all the sense. It's called GOUGING. Goodwill CEO alone ain't complaining 😕 Stay away from the newer trend of places asking you to round up your purchase and then name some doofus charity. Yeah, the bosses pocket charity 🙄🙄

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.

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!

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

I just love your channel! Love all your great finds.

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.

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!! ❤

They jack up prices to get their target price on 1/2 price day , if they can sell at at whole price , that's a bonus for them! GREED IS KILLING THE THRIFT STORES!!!😮😮😮😮

Love your videos. You take the time to explain all that you do. Love ur mom.

I’m new to your channel. I love how you explain so clearly how to look at each item. You do it better than any of the others I watch. Great job.

Goodwill and Salvation Army have become outrageous. They get all their stock for free and they ask retail price.

Love ur videos. Been binge watching❤

Thank you for this video! I’m considering trying my hand at doing this in my area and this was once helpful!!

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.❤️

Ooooh… love the concrete bird and the wooden bowls from St Vincent de Paul.

I’m watching this in June 1923, but the silhouettes were done by my grandson’s preschool class teachers. They drew a silhouette head to toe of each child, and at graduation had them lined up on the wall across the stage. It was the coolest thing ever and then they put their names at the bottom

I don't normally care to watch thrifting videos but I always watch and enjoy each one of yours.

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. 😊

That wooden bucket with the middle spindle was like one my Grandma had. She kept walnuts & pecans in it and the nutcracker and picks fit in the spindle.

Thanks for ur good explanations of saleable items & fair prices. U have helped me so much choosing better inventory for my mall booth. 😀

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!

I love this video and everything you do, please make more videos like this, thank you

In our area in WV we have three to four estate sales except during holidays every weekend. Saturday is half price sale or less. Prices are ridiculously low.

Really enjoy your videos!

Hey Kelly. Great video. Your stores are so nice. The GW in my area stink! They are dark and the shelves are so close together. Yours are so nice and full. I admit the prices are getting up there. I'm shocked at some of the prices. The other day I was out shopping and I actually said out loud. Are you kidding me? Your video was very informative. Thanks for the tips. I read yesterday about the scammer. SHAME ON THEM. Take care.

Kelly, this is such a good video. It’s interesting to hear how you decide on what to purchase then know approximately what you would price it at. I think the prices in your area are outrageous! I live in the suburbs right outside of Atlanta and my Goodwill has really good prices for the most part. Sometime I feel like they set a price on the price gun and tag everything that price - $3.09 seems to be popular!😁 But on the other hand, I think your prices are extremely reasonable. 😊 ~ Linda

Hello, from Canada. I enjoy your videos and I do like everything that you buy for your shop. I wish my thrift stores had the great things that you find. There is slso sticker shock in the stores that I go to.

Hi Kelly it's Dorothy those white bowls you can make mushrooms out of them and you could tell them because people like mushrooms

Love your pieces. I received my second order of wooden cut outs from you and was very pleased. Will you do Christmas cuts?

Loved watching today's video. Loved your choices. I agree that Salvation Army's prices were outrageously high on some of those items. I have one very close to my house and haven't gotten there yet. Maybe I better brace myself. I do have a St. Vincent's de Paul very close to me and I love them. They always have daily sales and I have purchased some great vintage finds at awesome prices. TFS

Hi. I’m seeing you for the first time. Wanted to tell you that bowl with the knob in the middle - 60 years ago my grandma had one and it held nuts in their shells along with a nutshell hammer, pick and nut cracker. 👍

Salvation Army where I live there's several in Western New York and their prices are pretty reasonable but they don't have as much stuff as in their stores as you seem to have in the stores you were at I couldn't even believe it. The Goodwill has a lot of stuff but the prices are outrageous. And we have a store called savers they have a lot of stuff also but very expensive. Thanks for all your tips

Great haul!

Nice finds!!!!

The bowl with the knob is for nuts, you put nuts in the bowl and in the knob is where you put the nutcracker(s). My grandmother had one :)

Kelly, the bowl w/ knob is a nut cracking bowl

I loved shopping with you, Kelly! I think all of your finds are fabulous, can't wait to watch your redo's.

Bowl with knob I think was a nut bowl for walnuts etc, the knob is where the nut crack tool sits.

Always enjoy going thrift shopping with you. I must say Michigan has some great Salvation Army stores except that last one you went too LOL. We have one Salvation Army store in our town n right now it’s closed. Their helping the people in Fort Myers from hurricane Ian. All the thrift stores are gone now. It’s such a bummer. Where I live in Sarasota Fl. the town caters to the rich folks here n it it’s beneath them to have thrift stores. I have to drive over a hour away to find any thrift stores. Anyway, I got carried away there. You found some real nice things. In fact , there’s a few I would keep for myself. That’s my problem. I buy it make it over n keep adding more LOL. Anxious to see some of the things you got that you might make over for next week, maybe? ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👍

Great haul,Kelly. Missed watching your videos. I learn so much from you. Thanks for taking us along.

Wow, it must have been Pot Day. Pot as in planter pot. I loved all of them. I said to my husband, this is the gal that goes to Springfield flea market every sept., and i want to meet her, so I let's plan on it. HOPE, HOPE!

Kelly, the bowl with the "knob" in the center is a bowl for nuts. The knob would have held the nutcracker and picks.

i liked the frame on that silhouette picture! Was it real wood? I couldn't really tell. I loved all of the cool things you got!

Oh you broke my heart when you passed up the owl... People do need to keep in mind their location for pricing, in my small town in a farming, Amish and Mennonite area, a lot of your repricing suggests would not sell here; I would love to be able to sell the milk glass vases for $10, I am lucky to get $4. I have had to stop shopping at big box "thrift stores" because of the prices, St Vincent's is the exception. But as usual a great video!! Suzette

Wondering if you ever sell any of your items online. I really like the black metal bicycle you picked up.

That big wooden bowl with the knob in it is a nut bowl. There should have been a place to put an old metal nutcracker. You ....well, me.....I would sit with the bowl on my lap, or when my grandmother saw me, I'd put it back on the table...i'd sit and crack pecans , keeping the shells in rhe bowl and putting the nutmeats in a clean bowl, or eating them as fast as I shelled them while watching a VERY late old movie with my grandmother.😊

Where do you re sell your items? Just found your channel today and have been enjoying your videos.

I cracked up when you said I first showed you the silhouette pictures. I made one in grade school and I’m 65 years old so they’ve been around a long long time.

I need to come to Michigan to thrift shop!!!!

I am new to your post I love it I wander will you be set for the 127 longest yard sale we plan going up as far as Michigan this year I am from Ohio

That wooden bowl with the big knob in the middle I think is a nut cracking basket. That knob should have had several holes in the top for the nut cracking tools.

I love ivy I would’ve bought that with the ivy I noticed you always comment on the Ivy but I absolutely love it
