It's cool to practice conscious consumption. It's better to spend less, not get a deal, and go home with only things you'll actually love and wear. Thanks for posting this!
I actually prefer seeing thrifters not just "haul" clothing. Thrift hauls are fun and magical when they happen every once in a while, but buying less, and buying items you will actually wear, is the content I am most drawn to. I want to hear more from creators about why they are NOT buying things (ex: already have something like it, doesn't fit perfect, holding out for the best version of this item) because those are the most sustainable shopping habits (which is important even when thrifting). Please don't hold back from posting a video if you only find 1 or 2 things. Seeing what's out there at the thrift AND hearing why you aren't purchasing a million things, is inspirational and interesting content.
Just wanted to say I appreciate that you blur out the faces of other people shopping! Not everyone wants to be in a video on the internet, so it's nice to see content creators who respect that :)
I really wish I had always done it 😭 it takes a bit of extra work and sometimes people move too fast, but I always try my hardest because they are just trying to have a good day and thrift and not be in a TH-cam video! I also think of if my mom was thrifting and she ended up being in the back of someone filming, I would hope they'd blur out her face for privacy. Tiktok always has videos of strangers being filmed without their consent and the justification is "well if they didn't want to be filmed then they shouldn't have left their house" which is just such a yucky take and really made me put in more effort to cover people's faces. If someone is already out of focus in the back and you can't like make out who they are then sometimes I'll leave it, but I really try hard to cover to the best of my ability.
Omg the Pyramid Collection!!!🖤💜🖤that was a mailbox catalog in the 90’s and it was full of whimsy goth witchy wonderful treasures that teenaged me just longed for😍 now I need to know if they still exist, I hope so!
I’m all for buying something and thrift flipping it if it means you’ll wear it! You can’t run on the assumption someone else will pick it up. You’re saving it from the landfill AND getting something you’ve been looking for!! So I’m glad you got the red top. What a great find!
love this video, I watch thrift content for the process/vibes, not necessarily the final hauls. I love hearing about your process on deciding to buy/leave something. Also, your outfit is really great!
It's fine, that's thrifting! I've spent 3 hrs in a thrift store and walked out w nothing. You found a few great things, it's not about volume! I have fun thrifting with you anytime :)
My local Salvation Army had 50% off everything on Black Friday. I had so much fun and found an amazing vintage sweater vest for 2 dollars! Your cranberry boatneck top looks so much better without the lace trim. The joys of upcycling!
My local thrifts had amazing sales. I went to two. The Salvation Army was 50% off clothes and the Saint Vincent DePaul was 50% anything you can wear. Very successful year!
It would be good to hear your perspective on the price of clothing at thrift stores. While watching your video, I was shocked to see the price of how much the skirts were.
I thought about going thrifting on Black Friday, but decided against it after seeing my local thrift store's Instagram stories. It was packed in there.
Ok so I LOVE thrifting! But i live on an island where there is kind of only one thrift store but it's like the size of a large bedroom and I rarely find anything there and they keep weird hours only in the summer. So when I go off island for the holidays I go OFF, I went to salvation army on blk Fri and the one we went to also has a bins side to now! All clothes were 50% off and bins were by the lbs. I had so much fun and found some great stuff! Also tried a salvation army in this rich city nearby and my boyfriend and I found some really great stuff! Like lightly used name brands and cute vintage stuff.
i went to my fav thrift nearby, called the sharing center! i only spent $3.75 on 3 items & two were gifts. one is the most beautiful green tapestry vest, i could not believe it.
I went on Friday, the store was not doing a Black Friday sale. Clothing is $2-$5 at this store....so I bought 6 items for $13. It was busy but, at those prices, it is always busy. The only other thrift store is a Value Village and it's prices are INSANE!!! The same 6 items would have been over $70 at VV.
Being genuinely honest, I would love if you posted literally every thrift with me that you film! I get so excited about any footage where you're just showing what you're finding. I don't feel disappointed if you walk away empty handed, I also just love the hunt 🙃
I also love your outfit! I can't decide what I like best: the giant scrunchie, the Christmas cat sweatshirt, or the plaid skirt! Oh, and I also loved the Vera Wang crochet top/jacket. I'm a tall, inverted triangle plus size, so generally go darker/plainer on top, and look for color, pattern, and fullness on my bottom half, but would have at least tried on that top! (It's also why I like your plaid skirt so much!🙂)
😉Most times it takes stamina, a ☕️fortified🍳start, & a 🪖take-no-prisoner attitude to persevere 💪successfully in chaotic 🖤Black Friday madness🧾. 😊This was a perfectly stress free meander through the aisles of the thrift store. An orderly, relaxed, & enjoyable shopping experience. 🎉Yay🎉! 🤩Liked the velvet dresses & even the strange green onesie. Too bad about the sizing for you, but they'll make someone very happy. 🥰You looked very beautiful in the burgandy cardi. That cool color truly makes your countenance shine. 😕Too bad you weren't feeling it. 🥳Congrats on your two finds & your 🪡fix for the second piece. ✂️Good instincts to crop it & chop off the odd lace panels. 🧐Is it stretchy? Perhaps you could make cool cuffs by adding decorative snaps to the lace for the wrists. Maybe a witchy choker out of it w/velvet ribbons & even some small bejeweled embellishments. Or, lastly make a padded headband (or scrunchie) w/the leftover lace & fabric. Could be feminine fun options when you're feeling festive. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
Omg, looove your sweater, would you mind sharing the brand/tag? Christmas sweaters are a big thing at work for some reason [I work in agriculture 😅], and that sweater would be hilarious! Maybe I can be lucky on the online thrift 🤩
In Canada retailers here do celebrate the American Black Friday but I saw our thrift had everything 50% the week before. Alexa has great styles ❣️83 must be the year you're born 1983 😊
Great Video ❤ where is your Sweatshirt from, i love it 😍 Where can i find such nice thrift clothes.. we don’t really have thrift stores here in Germany..
Of course we do? Almost every major city has Humana stores and small independent thrift shops. Back when I was still living on the countryside online thrifting really was a lifesaver. I can recommend sellpy and momox and of course vinted. :)
I'm glad you didn't buy for the sake of buying, it also is great for de-influencing consumerism. Smart purchases over deals on items you'll never wear anyday. I've also gone light on making black friday purchases this year too as I just paid off my first car this morning (she a real cute little red nissan micra)
I AUDIBLY GASPED @ 3:05 WHEN YOU HELD UP THE BLACK/MULTI COLOR KNIT CARDIGAN AND DIDN’T GET IT. and then you said it was a 3X which is my size 💀💀💀 rip me. I have to find one/make one like it
I looove these videos but genuine question, does anyone know why she never pronounces the letter G in her words? she says “haner” and “Lon sleeve” & im wondering why 😭

Your hair is so cute like this!!!
Oh my god that red poncho was AMAZING!!!! I loved the hood!!
Oftentimes I find the more eyecatching pieces at the thrift stores, so finding basics in good condition is a huge win I would say!
Yes, this! I got a good-quality, great white t-shirt at the thrift store just yesterday and passed on novelty items!
Alexa: This is the most calm Black Friday thrift.
Baby: CRIES

It's still around! My got a catalog in the mail from them back in the summer & if I remember correctly still pretty cute whimsical/witchy items 😁
I’m all for buying something and thrift flipping it if it means you’ll wear it! You can’t run on the assumption someone else will pick it up. You’re saving it from the landfill AND getting something you’ve been looking for!! So I’m glad you got the red top. What a great find!
9:12 I’m sorry but the breville espresso machine??! I would scream 😱
literally started tearing up at that pyramid collection dress... sooo beautiful omg
Me crying bc that red dress is my DREAM and I’m typically a l-xl 😭😭😭😭
Same :( pyramid collection stuff is nice too!
The star of the show is the Christmas kitty sweatshirt you are wearing! So CUTE!! 😊
love this video, I watch thrift content for the process/vibes, not necessarily the final hauls. I love hearing about your process on deciding to buy/leave something. Also, your outfit is really great!
The lace on the cranberry top could make a cute scrunchie!
It's fine, that's thrifting! I've spent 3 hrs in a thrift store and walked out w nothing. You found a few great things, it's not about volume! I have fun thrifting with you anytime :)

Pyramid Collection has a lot of witchy/Renaissancey clothes, so that red dress was very much the aesthetic of the brand.
They still exist? That was my favorite catalog in the 90s when I was a broke teen who could not afford to buy anything from it😍
My local thrifts had amazing sales. I went to two. The Salvation Army was 50% off clothes and the Saint Vincent DePaul was 50% anything you can wear. Very successful year!
Love your hair!! Looks pretty slicked back with the bow
The boots and sweatersss, ahhhhh!! Love it!!! It all looks good
That xl velvet dress in green omggg
your hair looks so cute like this!!
The pyramid collection stuff is so good!
It would be good to hear your perspective on the price of clothing at thrift stores. While watching your video, I was shocked to see the price of how much the skirts were.
Omg Pyramid Collection 😳 Their catalogue was thr whimsigoth bible. I remember lots of glass pyramids, crystal balls, geodes, dragon figurines, etc.
I thought about going thrifting on Black Friday, but decided against it after seeing my local thrift store's Instagram stories. It was packed in there.
Love that poncho, and I'm currently on the hunt for a chunky, cream, cable knit sweater.❤
I think the cardigan at 2:15 is the Speak Now Taylor Swift Cardigan crazy find Alexa!! Love the video ❤
i thought so for a second too but i think it’s a knock off, the colours aren’t right and it has no speak now patch
The Totoro sweater!!❤

Oh my goodness! That sounds amazing!!
I ❤ the little red riding hood poncho definitely would have bought it!
Pyramid Collection is a brand I learned about recently in the whimsi-goth subreddit! That dress is a nice find. I hope someone finds and loves it.
love your cat crewneck!!!
I love your cat crewneck!! Super cute! 😊
I would love to see a video where you thrift for your husband! I always find it to be such a different experience thrifting for men!
It’s smart that you only got what you wanted! If you ever find that Totoro sweater again I’ll buy it from you
You really consider what you buy. You probably give very good gifts. Happy holidays
i love your skirt! and i definitely would’ve bought that brown vest, i love it lol
Did you go thrifting on Black Friday? If so, how was it??
I went to the goodwill bins! 🤗
No
i went to my fav thrift nearby, called the sharing center! i only spent $3.75 on 3 items & two were gifts. one is the most beautiful green tapestry vest, i could not believe it.
Yes and it was already picked over because the sale started on Wednesday and I had to work that day
I went on Friday, the store was not doing a Black Friday sale. Clothing is $2-$5 at this store....so I bought 6 items for $13. It was busy but, at those prices, it is always busy. The only other thrift store is a Value Village and it's prices are INSANE!!! The same 6 items would have been over $70 at VV.

Love your videos Alexa! You’re inspiring 🤍
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your sweatshirt!!
Love your thrifting videos 😊❤ I got a Temu ad before the video ironically 🙄😂
I love clothes by The Pyramid Collection... their brand is, think "witchy, cool, artsy auntie who sells love potions at Renn faire"
Love that sweater on you😻😍🫶
You looked so cute in that red poncho!!
I also love your outfit! I can't decide what I like best: the giant scrunchie, the Christmas cat sweatshirt, or the plaid skirt! Oh, and I also loved the Vera Wang crochet top/jacket.

Quality over quantity is appreciated I actually don't like watching videos when they just get a load of stuff just to get it uk, ❤
Alexa your sweatshirt ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That cat wallet on the top rack at 11:45 though! I gasped when I saw it.

Great Haul ! 😁
However 'chaotic', I love all your videos 😘
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I can’t wait for the next one!❤
Hi Alexa! I cannot believe you passed up the red poncho with the hood. It looks so good on you.
I would wear that burgundy velvet to church and I would get the green one too .
I had to work Black Friday, but I wish I could have gone thrifting!
Ah, Alexa!! I've been looking for the site where you get those giant scrunchies. Could you share it with us again?
Room Shop! ❤️❤️❤️
I love your plaid skirt.
Omg, looove your sweater, would you mind sharing the brand/tag? Christmas sweaters are a big thing at work for some reason [I work in agriculture 😅], and that sweater would be hilarious! Maybe I can be lucky on the online thrift 🤩
I love your big hair scrunchy! So festive ❤
I was so excited to whip it out for this look!! Totally put me into the holiday mood!
In Canada retailers here do celebrate the American Black Friday but I saw our thrift had everything 50% the week before. Alexa has great styles ❣️83 must be the year you're born 1983 😊
it’s 8/3, her birthday is august 3rd. she is not that old 😅
Nope. That’s something g I asked before.
@@ashtonheardthat oops Sorry Alexa ❤ Yikes didn't realize it was 41 😂
I love thrifting but I never knew thrift stores participated with Black Friday
My Goodwills in Knoxville Tn didn’t do a single sale for Black Friday. 🙄I don’t even know why I bother with them, they are the dirtiest stores around.
Great Video ❤ where is your Sweatshirt from, i love it 😍
Where can i find such nice thrift clothes.. we don’t really have thrift stores here in Germany..
Of course we do? Almost every major city has Humana stores and small independent thrift shops. Back when I was still living on the countryside online thrifting really was a lifesaver. I can recommend sellpy and momox and of course vinted. :)
I told my mom and husband I wanted to do this.

Hey queen ❤😊
I worked at a mall watching ppl being chaotic to get deals
Those green RL pants are my size and that’s my fave color! Why couldn’t they end up at my thrift 😂😭😭😭
I Love Your New Video
Pyramid collection is expensive! Goddess style clothing, boho
I've only spent $75.00 at the thrift store once, but it was for a 3 piece authentic Coogi set
❤❤❤❤
I AUDIBLY GASPED @ 3:05 WHEN YOU HELD UP THE BLACK/MULTI COLOR KNIT CARDIGAN AND DIDN’T GET IT. and then you said it was a 3X which is my size 💀💀💀 rip me. I have to find one/make one like it
Happy December 1 Alexa sunshine 83 it almost birthday next video will you be able make gift guild please thank you
I side eyed you so hard when you said you don't have many Christmas Sweaters.
lol I was saying Savers didn't have that many Christmas sweaters, they had more Christmas tops and crewnecks 🫶
My savers has 1/2 off every Monday so it’s literally Black Friday every Monday 😳
🙀
*casually picks up a Vera Wang poncho*
Girl Chad Michael Murray has nothing to do with mean girls 😭😭😭
wait did I say his name?? I don't remember haha but funny enough I just watched him in that weird Netflix Christmas movie, it was a time 😂
@ my comment posted on your video instead of the video I watched after yours, where I meant to leave it! Weird TH-cam app glitch, I’m sorry! 😂❤️
I looove these videos but genuine question, does anyone know why she never pronounces the letter G in her words? she says “haner” and “Lon sleeve” & im wondering why 😭
