It's unbelievable that a "so called" habitat for humanity would rather throw away perfectly new items in the dumpster rather than donating them. 😢😢😢 I'm so happy that you got all of these lights! 😅😅😅
You deserve them, my friends! 😊😊
The rich don't care about stuff they call it JUNK
It would be hilarious if Frugal Daddy took all the fixtures back to Habitat and said he wanted to donate them. And then laughed evily. 😂😂
God, they suck. Great rescues! ❤❤
Why are brand new lighting fixtures going to the dump? It's the spring pooping season. Or the thunder scared the poo 💩 out of your herd of critters. Good luck with your lighting projects.🐇🐇🐇🐇🦋🦋🦋🦋🍀🍀🍀🍀🌸🌸🌸🌸🎶🎶🎶🎶🌼🌼🌼🌼🐞🐞🐞🐞🌺🌺🌺🌺💐💐💐💐🌹🌹🌹🌹🐤🐤🐤🐤🐩🐩🐩🐩🐋🐋🐋🐋🎸🎸🎸🎸🍀🍀🍀🍀🌼🌼🌼🌼🦋🦋🦋🦋🍍🍍🍍🍍🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thank you for highlighting my humble comment. Happy Spring 🐣!!!!
Cash is always a good Graduation gift. Cash always appreciated as they venture out into the world.
One if not the best haul you've gotten. I simply don't understand Habitat throwing these brand new products away! People and companies should just stop donating to them. Great video and thanks for saving all that great stuff!!!👍
The nerve of Habitat for Humanity throwing all of that in the garbage.
In total awe. How and why would they throw those away instead of just marking them down and making money. Good job Dumpster Daddy-O.
That chop magic is a great graduation gift if she’s starting out at her own place. Otherwise, it might not get used for years. It’s a wonderful wedding shower gift, so you should definitely hold onto it!
THE perfect graduation gift for your Big Gril would be a new 2023 car!! AND, of course, she gets to pick it out! LOL
Totally scored some free living room chairs today road side shopping without the attempt. I feel so grateful.
Fantastic haul, sell, sell, sell 💰🤑 & use
Grad gift, cash or silver and gold. Can always ask what she would like. Great haul, naughty Habitat for Humanity
just so sad they throw all that stuff away...it could have been donated....thank you frugal daddy for your hard work............your a special angel....and so are you frugal mommy.....
Crazy they would throw out that many new lights. Of all places! Nice haul!
Unbelievable how those ended up in the dumpster!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖
What a find! I'm still picking my jaw up from the floor! Well Done FD. Well Done!
HI GUYS!! LOVE HOW YOU GUYS SCRAMBLED INSIDE WHEN THE SKY OPENED UP. LOL. PLUS THE MULTIPLE POOPS THAT HAPPENED. 😂 I FEEL FOR YOU AND THE CLEAN UP. LMFAO. LOVE THE STUFF YOU GOT AND HOW YOU BOTH MANAGE EACH THING. THE FIRST LIGHTS WERE BEAUTIFUL LIKE TULIPS ALMOST. THANKS FOR SHARING AND PLEASE STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY ❤️ 🙏
OMG habitat for humanity what a laugh. So much perfect brand new merchandise abandoned! So glad you managed to get it home and can use or sell it. Congratulations 👏🎉🛍️🛒
Wow,that's an amazing haul frugal Daddy and frugal Mommy,pouring more BLESSINGS ❤❤❤❤
Frugal Mommy& Frugal Daddy. You guys should really go diving at the College Dorm dumpsters when students move out in May. Thats my favorite time to dive. Lots of food, cleaning supplies, home decor,etc. I know youve gone to Princeton before. I think youd find a lot of awesome stuff. Much love
Yes, pretty sure they’ve done that before. I’d like to see that again! 😁
Fabulous hauls Frugal Daddy😮so shockingly crazy that they were thrown away 😢 thank you for saving them 😊
As far as graduation…We found that cash and a party is much appreciated 🎉
Our daughter has put herself through college 100% and is graduating next month with her Masters degree in Occupational Therapy ❤ we’re so proud and decided that a immediate family dinner at her favorite restaurant then, graduation party at our house with family and friends…and some rent money to help cover a month or 2 once she moves out 😊
One of those sprayers would be great to water plants with. Especially the young, tender ones.
We always keep, donate what we can to family/friends/neighbours then it goes on marketplace. It’s your time, petrol, risk etc its not ‘free’ for you guys - so sell it!! & don’t let anyone lowball you
This was an amazing haul, really. Also, the birds sound so fantastically beautiful. I love the idea of hanging on wall the fluorescent lights
what a super haul!! you should definitely put some of that on facebook. and congratulations to the frugal graduate!!
Oh wow I have to replace 2 bathroom lights. Should look in the dumpster first. What a savings.Great haul thx for sharing
I love frugal mommy’s Minnie ears. This is a great haul! All the things you saved are amazing! Love watching you 💜 always making me smile 😊
I was like, huh? You like her ears? What a weird compliment....OH!🤣🤣🤣
@@kathyf5549 🤣😁 I meant to put Minnie ears, once it posted it would not let me edit, lol. 😂😄 Now it let me edit.
I just don't understand why they thrown all this out. It's like they don't appreciate it. Thank you for sharing this. Ya'll take care 🙂
FD, GREAT VIDEO LIGHTING out there, and MOST EXCELLENT filming and footage of your dive! I LOVED seeing it all tied down rooftop, expertly. 👍💪 Way to capture it all!💕
That storm was unbelievable…the thunder was BRUTAL!! Lasted for hours and the rain was welcomed…we had flood warnings, but it wasn’t torrential…just scary thunder!!
Love the ears ! Great haul President Carter would be so sad if he saw that dumpster !🦋💛🦋💛🦋💛✌🏼💛✌🏼💛✌🏼💛
Love you guys. Y'all keep me laughing and congrats on this epic haul.
Loved your video (as always), you are so funny and 'real' down to earth folks. The stuff you found is amazing, what a sin to chuck it out! Much love from 🏴🇬🇧 😊
I bet a light company donated all those light fixtures. Awesome ! YOU GET LIGHT AND YOU GET LIGHT and YOU GET LIGHT 😂
I thought it was the glass bell type shades ringing! Ha!! They rang as u pulled them out. 😂
Hard to beat this haul 🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow. What an amazing haul. Let there be light :)
Amy, I absolutely love how your imagination runs riot! Those bunkers are going to be Awesome!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Have you considered the "poops" came from the Animals eating something that was SPOILED? Great save FD from the Habitat Dumpsters!😄😯❤🐕🐱🐶🐱🐈❤❤❤
FM there are tutorials on how to post on marketplace. That’s how I figured it out.👍🏻😃Good luck👍🏻
This video made me so happy ❤. Minnie Mouse custom ears😮, Amazing dumpster rescues 👍, all that talk about bunkers and tunnels 🙀, and ambiance lighting for your bunker theatre. We should be neighbors because I think we are very much on the same mental wavelength ❤✌️
Fan-freakin-tastic dives !!! Thanks for taking us along!!! I appreciate you both so much! Wonderful wonderful just wonderful one !!! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!!!!!
I would love to see where your husband keeps all the stuff he brings home! Do you ever fight about it or are you ok? I LOVE WHAT YOU GUYS DO..
So much being thrown out but so much being saved Thank you Frugal Daddy Awesome 👍😎
HILARIOUS i just can't take you seriously with your Disney ear's box, GREAT haul FD, earn yourselfes extra wonga 🇬🇧😍😅😍🇬🇧
Way to go frugal Daddy another great haul.
I can't believe the habitat for humanity threw out all those lights. They should keep them stored for a next project.
Glad you guys got all that! A shame it was being thrown out!! Great hauls❤
Hang those light fixtures with the open end down and you won't collect so much dust.... The light will shine down which is how I think it should go... FYI we don't need to know about all the poo....LOL
I think a new set of paula deans pots and pans and set of Paula Deanl . And baking pans. That's what I loved it. I been cooking since the age of 11 and I love it. Well love to watch you all the time. Well you all have a safe and watch the sky
Love ,
Mom
What on earth were they thinking to throw that stuff away?
Because they are a bunch of jackals
Because they get so much donated. A d after it doesnt sell they throw it away. I dont know why they cant just give it away
I agree Tina
Around here Restore is such a last ditch donation place, they take stuff no one else will, not thrift stores so its not like there is anywhere to donate it again. So I can see how they get overloaded with nowhere as an outlet...u would think they would purge some of their more odd stuff like scraps of trim and knobs from the 80s...but if the place had too many light fixtures, I guess that's what had to go. Too bad the store manager couldn't do some networking to get the stuff to another store, maybe trade the dumpster fee for a trucking cost... maybe after they see divers and the commentary they will be creative with thimgs that are better overages. Or maybe they encourage divers to come reap the rewards.
Last time I was at Restore it was very picked over older builder's brass fixtures, nothing quality or things ppl are using in current builds. That's rough for them to turn over, I get that. These are nice looking but needed to be heavily discounted for this quality.
@@PurdueAlum01 I’m a regular shopper there and you nailed it 100%. All I’d add is there are some people who go in and scoop up anything somewhat modern there. It’s like they somehow know before anyone else.
That said, I’ve gotten many great items there and crafted so many awesome things out of what looks like scraps. I think this store should focus more on targeting those who like to up-cycle. All that Re-Store needs is someone with a large social media following and savvy craft/rehab mind to feature them as a place they regularly go for supplies that can usually be found there - like trim, paint supplies, old doors, etc. The videos on TV that I see only feature the one off miraculous finds, or not at all because they’re all about their own stuff or their sponsors.
We got our vanity from Habitat Restore. They have great sales on items that r new & ones that r like new. I love shopping there! U gotta wonderful blessing Frugal mommy & daddy!! When we were able we got quite a bit of good stuff dumpster diving & "curb market" stuff!! We had to stop,sort of. One time we found boxes of rubber/plastic wood look flooring!! 🤗
Wow what a shame what they price and then toss. Good save Frugal Daddy. Thanks for sharing 👌 👍
Good morning Daddy Freakin Frugal and Mommy Frugal oh Wow nice jackpot to dumpster God bless you all
That’s the universe thanking you for what you do, giving you exactly what you wanted. Just the universe went a little overboard 😂 Don’t know what to say about the poop though 🤔😂
So many other Charities that they could donate that to just doesn't make any sense thank you for taking me along on your amazing haul
Great haul FD!! Sell all those bad boys and make you some money! Awesome😂😂
There's no 'Humanity' in Habitat for Humanity.
I would think that would be the last place for anyone to look though 🤷🏼♀️
@missy cat, I can’t agree w/you more.
I never find anything at ours.
@ missy cat. Actually there is a huge amount of Humanity in Habitat for Humanity.
My family was chosen to receive a home through Habitat for Humanity. For 2 years, every Saturday we had different groups of people ( church groups, a bunch of sailors from the Navy Yard, Sororities, Fraternities, people came from near and far to help us build our home.
My family was required to put in 200 "Sweat Equity" building our home. When it was done we had a wonderful home with a nominal 15 year mortgage, which we paid off.
If you could have been there every Saturday for those two years, you might feel differently.
Hi! ...a huge bouquet of flowers...🌹🌹🌹 with some gold jewel 🌹🌹🌹for your daughter graduation...
Frugal Graduate .. huge Congratulations! Cash is usually wanted/needed
4 banger toasters, dog & cat feces! Typical family stuff... love the light fixture.
I'm totally speechless .... Wow .
Universe Provides, Frugal Daddy, Great items✌️💜
Great finds Frugal Daddy!
I'm a brushed nickle person too. My poor kids didn't get anything for graduating high school. But all of their lives we got them everything they needed and then some. Also, I tried to make up for it whenever I came into money. You know, inheritance and stuff. LOL FD wracked up at Habitat! Great haul video!!!!☺
Awesome dive Frugal Daddy ! BRAVO 👏
Qué maravilloso 😍☺️👍✊👌👏👏👏 saludos desde Argentina ciudad de Quilmes 🇦🇷🇦🇷🙋😘💕💪🥰
Super nice haul frugal daddy 👍
Frugal Daddy you are the rockstar of the dumpster.
Oh I love a good storm thunder and lightning. Get the lights sold and enjoy the money. Take care from Wales
I wish I was your BFF! I know I would laugh more while I pass this awful time in my family! Nothing life or death, just sad! At least I have you guys here on TH-cam! Nice haul, very nice! Thanks for sharing!!
Please do at least one nice thing tor you every day . Dont feel guilty about it . Good luck
Wow, what a haul! Why are people/companies giving that "charity" store stuff to sell, or use, if it's just not appreciated? I'm glad FD managed to save it all. Love from UK 🇬🇧
Since you are not from the us you don’t know all the good habitat does. It builds homes for the less fortunate.
@@charmainewithrow7566 I have heard of HfH before & know of all the good they do which is why this haul was such a shock to me. They could have used those lights, at least, in some of the places they improve for people in need. That store is not helping their cause.
@@charmainewithrow7566 just not in this case, or the hundreds of others ;)
Well I'm from the US & I tried hard 2 get H4H help my family w 2 disabled sons & all I saw was them building home after home after home for foreigners not born here or paying taxes here all their lives like I've been doing!
Definitely 'rigged" by favoritism.
Wow what a fund. You go frugal daddy. I just love y'all
That was a awesome haul!!!!!!!
Habitat for humanity Should be ashamed of themselves throwing that in the bin they should donate it on if not required by them.
Thanks for saving it all I love your eye does not see dust,had me laughing a lot I think mine are the same
👍 Hi, holy M.. 🎉 Big and good score today 😊
We call the long tall bins "skip" bins which are usually used on building sites off cuts, wires, etc (in Australia) 😊
Yes, in South Africa we also call them skips. But I would never encourage anyone to dumpster dive in our country... 99.9% guaranteed you will be assaulted, robbed of your car and phones and equipment. Chance of you losing your life also ranges in the high ninety percentages.. so I really enjoy you guys doing it under relatively safe circumstances.
@@hetvandenbergh2503 - it is totally safe in Australia
I’m in VICTORIA. Oh we’ve had our issues with crazy security on power trips 😂 but most just wave.
Yeah that's a really cool find the movie theater lights just put them going vertical and that's exactly how they looked in the movie theater back😊 in the day
Nice haul lots of money WOW 😳👍👍
What an outstanding dive! Woohoo great find FD!
Great! You are here! 😀👏👏👏
How sad that they are meant to help but they just chuck it great finds fd ❤️🇨🇦😂😜
So Glad You Went To That Dumpster ! Great Video !
Why wouldn't the Re Store mark the vanity lights down to 5 or 10 dollars rather than put them in the landfill? It makes no sense.
9 times outta ten it's just another write off for the companies....and they get full price for them write off instead of discounting it n getting lesser money for it
@@blankitasstealsndeals282 thanks for the explanation, I wasn't aware. However, since the items are donated to the Re-Store in the first place, and I believe they are non-profit, it still makes little sense. I appreciate your insight.
I’d use the light fixture with the squares. If someone doesn’t like brushed nickel or white both can be spray or hand painted with heat safe paint.
very sad Habitat was one you could trust I thought, one for the people that needed help.....shame ....Great score for you and thanks for opening our eyes
🙌🏼 Awesome hauls! 🤗 WOW! Happy for you'll. 🥳 Blessings, be safe. 🙏🏻
Gosh such a great score!👍⭐️
Happy Sunday 😊 and We love your video. Awesome Haul Frugal Daddy rescue stuff from the Dumpter. Sad good stuff go to Landfill. Have a Amazing week ahead ❤.
Hi Frugal Family, I am so proud
of you on what you and FM do.
God bless your family and have
an wonderful Sunday.
" Beautiful find"
Nothing beats a good poop joke. I love you guys!
I have had that chopper for years and love using it. it does well.
Could they use some kind of weird bulbs that are hard (or impossible) to find now that they changed all the bulbs in the last few years? I would be extra sure you can find replacement bulbs - or any at all in the first place - before getting carried away installing them anywhere.
I was going to say the same thing as previous comment. That is just crazy to pitch new in box goods🙀🙀
Poops everywhere 😂 i hope you have a carpet shampooer 😂😂😂
I really enjoyed this dive, it was very enLIGHTening 😊💡💡💡💡💡💡🙂
Wow! Brand new home decor that's totally free. 🥰❤
What a awesome finds ❤
Absolutely amazing what you have saved almost criminal what they have thrown out good for you frugal daddy
Thanks Frugal Fam 💕
