I had a jackpot over the summer there was a whole lot of camping equipment and pepper supplies I took all of it I only paid $30 for maybe $300 worth of stuff
How?
Great Find ❤
Wow! Great job
Just picked up a blouse with tags still on it for $6. Plus a cute pair of ankle boots for$12. Frugal shopping at thrift stores is great!
My son bought me 48 Ball jars today at an estate sale. Many vintage and a few turquoise. Plus a Ball jar funnel and jar lifter. All for only $49!
If you find old photo albums with the pockets at thrift stores or where ever, you can use them to organize your seed packets!! Just one great idea!! 😊😊😊
Sheets & curtains are a great source for fabric/yard goods. I've found thick flannel sheets that would be perfect to make flannel shirts or maybe some cozy PJs. You can cut up old, worn-out flannel shirts to make 'wipes', they'll be soft & sturdy. Also, believe it or not, you can unravel old sweaters to get yarn to knit or crochet a new garment.
My Auntie Gudrun lived in occupied Norway during WWII and she often told of how they’d unravel knit clothing to get the yarn in order to knit new garments. She was so resourceful, truly an inspiration. I sure miss her.❤
I got lucky and got 2 food mills off the curb in my small town. both super heavy stainless with the wood mashers! I broke my aluminum one last yr 😢 so these r a God send! Blessings!
Awesome score!!
Looks like you have a 100% chance of rain.
🤣
I found an alpaca poncho shoulder wrap. I had to read the label twice, I couldn’t believe my eyes. $5.99😊
Everyone should grab a cook book on 4 or less ingredients- thrift store, canning jars, camping supplies, candles, non electric food equipment, quilts!
Im a yardsale ,flea market addict !!!........ I buy up camp stoves...lanterns ...sleeping bags...tents ...cast iron...anything that is barter or resale to make a profit and buy the things I need !!!........ Like you said pennies on the dollar.......... my other favorite is generators !!....... I buy the ones that just need work on them ...50 to 150.00 ....repair them and resell them for substantial profit ....it actually paid to buy my motorhome last summer
Me too! You can find so many things for cheap.
Wow! I wish we lived closer. Not able to find inexpensive generators 😢
Ive gotten many canning jars at thrift stores and garage sales
A pair of overalls could be life saving. Ski suits would be good too.
I have always bought at Thrift stores. I have gotten everything yo mentioned. I got a hair straightener to close my mylar bags at a thrift store. And I always grab good bags so others can move around. Thrifts are the only place I can ever find chimneys for taper candles or to get large vases cheap to put tapers and pillar candles down in to keep from having open flames.
SHELVES! I have found lots of free standing, or wall shelves, thin racks and cabinets that fit in the hallway to store things to store preps, and fancy boxes, (cardboard, tin and wooden), so you can put preps in them right out in the open. (I have those with teas in them, and all sorts of packaged foods). I got an upholstered cube for $1 that is sitting in my living room as a footstool or an extra seat, which is now filled with tuna and flat herring cans.
Tablecloths to cover my stacks of prep boxes and blackout curtains.
I need to start looking again.
And after listening to your kids bang on the drum for a couple of hours you can burn it for heat or cooking.👍
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I went to an estate sale. Found a brand new pressure cooker. Still in the box and 17 mason jars. Picked up for $125
Sorry. 17 cases of mason jars
Wow, congrats on that find!
What a wonderful score..I think the previous owner would love to know that a good person continued to care about their things💛
Thrift stores you should look for the stores that sponsor nonprofits. Or social services, we have the Emporium is an antique thrift store everything antique but at thrift store prices all its proceeds go to hospice. The domestic violence show has its first store and it’s got some really nice things in it. Both of these stores everything is the workers donate their time. My third favorite is safe Haven, which is a no kill animal shelter. Wow that’s where you pick up your blankets. I’m in the process of making a wool top for a quilt. All their clothes, all the time are 80% off. So I look every month and if there’s a wool coat in there, I snatch it up. I made all my my nieces. Single size covers for a bit of word. To go in their vehicle so if they ever get stranded, they have a nice Levi quilt. The top is Levi and the bottom is Levi and I don’t put a filling in it because it’s pretty heavy. They are very warm. You have to watch out for those thrift stores like savers, that are for profit. They’re expensive. And you’re right just look around! You would think with somebody have a wool code or a wool dress coat and climate is 100° plus, in the winter maybe 10 days scattered through winter will it be below freezing. Where it snows all night and in the morning. Yet by 4 o’clock in the afternoon, there’s no snow!
In the desert, there’s not very many places where you can bug out and like you said before there’s probably 10 other people there before you get there and they’re not going to share! Very good video thank you for all you. Thank you for sharing your life and your stories and best of all your many recipes .
Hey Jenny I haven't watched for awhile but I have to say you look amazing ...... You go girl 💚
also nuts and bolts and screws and nails, gallons of good paints, peg board and peg-board hangers. $1.79 for 4 screws in a mini-bag is now ordinary price at my box store. So collect anything useful. even tools that do NOT need electricity, also good sized scrap new carpet is often found.
Old nails and screws are better quality than the expensive crap you find in the hardware section today.
I've seen quite a few tools at a village rummage sale thus year and last. Estate sales are great places to find hand tools, especially if the sale is on an old farm
One thing that makes extremely warm quilts is the double-knit polyester from back in the day. My grandmother made her quilts from old polyester clothing and those quilts kept you toasty. When I find it in the Thrifties, I grab it.
Thrift stores usually have a couple yards of that fabric so if you feel like putting one together, you could make some scores.
just got 2 vintage wool blankets for free at church thrift store they were "dog blankets" washed in wool wash and dried in line. perfectly good blankies
I stopped going to yard sales because of 'early birds'. They would descend on the yards sales & aggressively try to make the seller allow them to go over the items before the real customers arrive. Then they start shouting "One dolla for all in this box, two dolla for everything thing on that table!" (etc, etc, etc) I 've seen besieged sellers threaten to call the cops when they get really aggressive. (They arrive in herds & separate, making it hard for the seller to keep track of what they're doing...)
Ugh!!!
Last night, I literally threw out everything I was going to put in my yard sale. I just can't stomach the thought of these monsters coming onto my property again. I would have been happy to donate the items to a good cause, but that doesn't exist where I live any longer...even the kids are trained to be monsters out here. Had one child try to manipulate me to get into my house and another go past my gate to steal from my backyard-unbelievable...and yes, I hear one dolla screams in my sleep lol
@jacquelinewelch2033 You have my sincere sympathy. I began to notice them about 2015, maybe. Prior to that, I wouldn't have known what they were. It's also about that time that I saw yard sale ads clearly state: "NO EARLY BIRDS!"
We have a church in our local area that they give out free meals and all the clothing shoes etc you can carry home they do it once a week it's great I found a nice wool winter coat I found some blankets I found some clothing for family members and they don't care they say take it off if you want it cuz they get so many donations which is really great
I got some hand tools in thrift stores along with kitchen and medical items
I made mittens and arm warmers with wool sweaters from thrift stores that were nice, but had a hole or small defect. I washed them to clean, but also to shrink. So soft and warm.
I've found excellent medical and homestead books at yard sales.
I love thrift stores! I don't get to go to then as often as I used to. If the weather is good this Saturday maybe I'll see if I can find any treasures
Last week I bought a Breville convection oven at a local flea market.
Love going to thrift stores. Habitat for Humanity is a great go-to also if you have one in your area. I was looking forward to hitting garage sales this summer, but I've only seen a handful the whole summer. Usually there's 3-8 every weekend but not this year. I look usually look for canning/kitchen supplies, (vintage) fabric, sewing supplies, and cookbooks.
I find some great things at thrift stores & yard sales!!
Excellent advice Jinne, keep digging deep in the thrift stores. I'm always finding things in our charity shops.
TFS HC, take care & keep really busy everyone. ❤️🙂🐶
I shop my thrift stores often, and find any great prepping items. I've always been a thrift store shopper but have stepped it up in the last 4 years. They've increase their prices, but I still find it worth checking out what's available.
Love Thrifting great finds. Love these ideas. Thanks Jinne ❤
Don't forget medical equipment, like portable toilet chairs, shower chairs & crutches. People will also bring in some cast iron. Someone had brought in a freeze dryer from someplace like Cabela's & we sold it for $80 - it was brand new, folks. Never used. was a cashier at a Goodwill for a year & a half & saw all sorts of useful things come into our donation center. Happy hunting, everyone! Thank, Jinne! Love to you & the family there.
We bought a portable dvd/blue ray player for cheap at a local store. So we are and have been buying dvds and blue ray movies at thrift store and a pawn shop cheap. Also find books, coloring books for kids. I have actually found adult coloring books at thrift shops that people never used. I also found several adult coloring books at dollar tree for 1.25. Found some at dollar tree when it was a dollar. Also bought puzzles at yard sales and at dollar tree.
Are you doing a fall garden? I'd love to see a tour if you are! :) God bless you!
We have a Habitat Restore down the street from us in our old Food Lion store building. We have bought so much stuff there. Lots of tools, garden supplies, and even furniture like old armoires that I store canned goods in!
At our city's Hospice Thrift store we get lots of medical equipment, games, puzzles, dishes, and older oil lamps. Great way to save money and help charities at the same time! ;-)
I just got a roaster from the thrift store today! It is in excellent condition. I bet it’s only been used once! There was also an amazing water bath canner for only $6! It took everything I had to leave it behind. 😂
Good tips thanks for sharing, YAH bless !
I found a Nesco dehydrator for $7 and backpacks for $1 ea which I made into emergency winter car kits for my sisters. I love thrifting!
So true , THANK YOU JINNE
We love OP shopping, today I got an unopened canning supply box with funnels, jar lifting tongs etc for $5. I've gotten a lot of camping equipment plus good quality rain gear and work wear, sturdy clothing to work in is expensive brand new but I can get hardly worn stuff second hand.
Great advice and great ideas!!
Hi Jinne, I go to the thrift stores each weekend. If you check around, you can find some good deals. Now there are a lot of people who 'volunteer' to be sorters at the thrift stores and from what I heard, they get first pick on some good things coming in and get either an employee discount or ask the manager to price it low for them. Husband loves to read in the evening and he has a few favorite authors, I have been able to find brand new hard cover books for a fraction of the price. I also look for sewing, crafting, cooking and gardening books and same thing, can find them for just a few dollars. Used to find brand new canning jars in the case box, now they sell them by the individual jars so glad I got some when I could when they were cheaper. I recently found a brand new box of the canning accessories from Ball for about $3.
Lots of home decor or kitchen supplies too, many still new in box. I also watch for after holiday sales on things like paper plates and such, I've always done this and just put them away in a box for that season or holiday so they are ready to go when you need them, but in a pinch they can also be used at any time. When our kids were little, I would always shop end of season sales for coats and other things for the next season, also did that for our granddaughter when she was younger, just buy one or two sizes bigger and they are there and ready for the first cold weather and half price or less.
I have even found cast iron pans in free piles! It’s amazing what you can find if you keep your eyes open.❤🇺🇸
I wish I lived by you ❤️ we could be shopping buddies ❣️
That's a great list! I typed it all into my note app, where all my lists are. I would also add picking up 100% cotton woven or flannel sheets that can be made into other things.
We have some good auctions here, we have thrift stores also
Poor puppy, he’s having anxiety in background. Lol
Im always relucent to buy beddings and clothing because of bed bugs
Hot water takes care of that.
Yes Jenny we are addicted yard sales, estate and church sales.
I'm always leary of oil lamps from thrift, worry they might leak.🤔
"and I look like a dump truck in it!" lol, oh too funny. Been there. 🤣
You always have the best suggestions!
Our church gives clothes for free.
I work part time for an auction. Occasionally can food will come up for bids and goes for reasonable prices. I bought canned sweet potatoes for 50 cents a can.
I have never purchased cast iron new..ever. Sometimes it needs some work..but probably have 15 different pans, pots and a kettle (awesome to boil water for coffee (we use a french press) on a wood stove or even open flame. Older cast iron was also made better, JMHO. We also collect cast iron "trinkets"...children and grand children practically give away at yard sales, a ton of little irons, toys, and even a barn trolley. Canning jars ..again, if it is the kids or grands selling..will sell a dollar a box. Old kitchen utensils, manual beaters etc, . Lanterns, flashlights, gas cans, Picked up rain barrels at a neighbors who was throwing out. We also now have a "hot bins" , it is amazon returns or unable to deliver. Fri is all new inventory. Fri, Sat and Sun everything is $12, Monday, $6, Tues $4 and Wed $2... We generally make and roll our pasta in the kitchen aid. But are able to make it without...I found a stainless pasta roller for $2 last visit..Nice to know we will be able to roll and cut it without electricity,
My husband bought a huge generator for emergencies. Our power went out last winter and I got the creeps looking out with our canyon as far as you could see....totally black! Great video!
My bonus "Mom" just gifted me 4 lamps. Feeling blessed.
Sleeping bags: if buying a used one - take to laundromat for cleaning (worth it) on the way home from the sale. Also try to store hung out of its stuff sack to keep the loft which helps keep you extra warm
Sewing supplies. Baby items even if you don't need them, someone else might.
Excellent video Jini❤
❤
