Yes, the thrift stores in our area have increased prices to ridiculous amounts. They are trying to sell Dollar Tree items for $3 or more. That's crazy to charge more for it used than new. I've all but stopped going to thrift stores. The closest Habitat for Humanity store is always so picked over, and the only things left have been there for ages. Now I will ask on Facebook if a friend or family member has what I'm needing. I'd rather give them the money than pay triple the amount at the thrift stores.
I’ve had the same experience. Years ago I splurged on wooden chargers from Pier 1. I only bought four, so I got excited when a few years later I saw four more at a thrift store near my house. I thought I was going to score a deal, but I was shocked when I saw the price. They were asking more per charger than when I bought them brand new. 😮
Same, it is ridiculous, and they have increased based prices on everything.
I'm AWFUL. Don't tell my store this , but when DT was still $1, I used take post-it notes pre-written with "dollar tree item!" on it. When I would see Greenbriar, I would slip the note on the product! I doubt they changed anything but it burned me that badly!
Yes, the implication that we are stupid, or can't read, is insulting.
@@anaverran3040 If you've never been to an estate sale you should check some out. You'll get to know the companies in your area and figure out which companies have good prices and which ones are too high. Also with estate sales the prices usually go down about 25% each consecutive day of the sale so if you really want something but it's overpriced you can choose to wait for the price drop as long as you won't be too disappointed if someone else beats you to the punch. You can also ask for a discount early, the worst they can say is "no." Also don't forget about Garage Sales when the weather is nice. Happy hunting!
Yes, the Thrift Stores that I donate to regularly have increased their prices drastically! It’s beyond ridiculous and unfair to the people that have no choice but to shop there but at the current prices, everyone is better off going directly to the retail stores and buy on sale. You also have several people that go in there to resell at market prices and that I believe has also caused increased prices.😐
Its shocking the prices they charge now😢
Yes it’s insane how much they charge now! I was a insane thrifter I now only do this!
Resellers are making thrift store shopping bad for almost everyone else. They kind of monopolize the area they are shopping in the books and no one else can even look at that shelf till they have looked at each and every book and checked them against their list. Other areas are equally bad with the stopping to price check and holding up anyone else shopping in that aisle. They also leave the shelves a mess. And thrift store prices are ridiculous now.
The resellers won't buy at the inflated Thrift Store prices - it's not worth the effort.
I said this to my daughter while in a thrift store and some older lady basically told me off. Then we went to Ross and my daughter found some 5.00 to 9.99 shirts and said, "we should have just came here first."
I ran over here so fast I tripped. Just kidding. I love watching my girl, Kathryn. She shares the best DIYs, hacks, and etc.
Me too 😊
I mean that as soon as I seen she had a New video I pushed to watch her.
Her personality always cheers me up.😊
@@GrandmaSallyo😊l😊😊😊
“I ran over here so fast I tripped” 😂😂😂 Thank you for the laugh!! 💫
Basket liners are to keep the basket easy to clean and for things to not fall through the holes 😃
Also so things don’t get snagged - but I hate liners too since most aren’t removable for washing. Just stopped using baskets for most things.
Feels icky to buy a used basket liner
Rather remove it and if it’s a basket that snags put a fabric of my choice
Liners are necessary in our home. I have removed glued-on liners to wash them and put them back in the baskets. Not only do they keep things from getting snagged, but they protect the inside of the basket from getting banged up. Real wicker baskets are my go-to for keeping things grouped and organized.
This is what I was thinking, too. I love baskets, but they can get so dusty. The liner can usually be removed and washed.
We could start calling them Earth stores instead of thrift... they're about so much than saving money. Prices may be higher, but I'll always stand behind thrift shopping, simply because it's about using things that already exist. When we buy brand new, we ultimately send the message to those big companies to, yes, please go ahead and make more stuff, enough doesn't exist already, we'll keep buying if you keep making it. Of course, there are certain things I'll buy new (socks, undies), but otherwise, using what already exists just makes sense to me. 😊 🌎 ♥️
I agree, the resale store prices have increased, just like everything else I suppose. Thanks for all the tips.❤️
Some baskets need liners and some don't. Often it's as much about what you want to keep in them. Baskets like the white wicker ones featured are great unlined for larger hard/smooth things but will tear up clothes without a liner. Best are the ones with liners that can be removed, laundered, and replaced with a little careful attention and those that have no points or rough edges to snag.
I love Habit for Humanity shopping!! I found 5 crystal door knobs, paid about $4. I had some wood lying about, painted it and attached the knobs. It’s in my bathroom and we use it for towels and robes.
Brilliantly done
@@SandyLee60 Aw, cheers! I did it in the foyer for guests handbags and coats, as well. We’ve a coat closet but sometimes it’s just not necessary! Plus the hoover is in there 🤣
Ours in Cleveland Tn has ridiculous prices. Might as well buy it new
Love the no plastic organizing. Yes thrift and Goodwill has gotten so expensive it’s not thrifting anymore. Of course a great video!
I’m glad you showcased my secret spot lol. I organize a lot as a side business. The bin store is my secret place. It’s really incredible. I did a two bedroom apartment for $300 on $4 day. 67 items. Honestly it was incredible how you can do a whole home.
Like to see photos
I follow a TH-cam gal who is a realtor & she shops Goodwill bin by the pound store to stage her listed homes.
I was in Goodwill yesterday, they had the dollar tree napkin holder (1.25) for $2.99.
Yep! I have seen Goodwill items priced higher than the Target sticker still on the item. I understand they have to raise prices just like everywhere, but at least remove the lower price sticker before you price it higher.
Yess!! Beware of that!
I've seen the same thing. I don't go to Goodwill anymore.
I've also seen he DT stuff overpriced at GW. Those pricing people need to do some research.
Good will has been over priced for years
My husband works for a Habitat Re Store. This store is always busy and non stop donations. You can always find really good stuff . It is an awesome organization because the money goes back into the organization. Thrift stores are so over priced right now but there are a few that are still good.
Hi Kathryn,
I am known as the Button Girl and the Knob Girl. I worked at a mom and pop lumber yard for years and many closed in the early 1990s when the Home Depots came to my area of Northern Virginia. We had a large sale at our lumber yard that had been open since the 1930s receiving logs and wood from Maine on the train behind the mill. The last day that the lumber yard was open we started to give things away for free even to staff. Of the clerical staff I was the only one that raided the cabinet doors and knobs. I had a studio basement apt at the time but I had an F250 PU truck, my Dad was having a large addition put on his house and I grabbed things I thought he could use. No time to call and say hey do you want this go out and ask Joey (contractor). I grabbed cabinet doors that we made for a customer that never returned. I raided the knob bin as I had recently found a dresser on the curb that didn't have knobs. To this day (over 20 years ago) the dresser is next to my sewing machine with 8 free brass knobs from Murphy & Ames Lumber. I have more knobs and your mirrors on the walls for jewerly I may be doing.
My Dad himself after his addition was completed made his own built ins for all his artifacts from around the world he has collected from 1600BC tear cup collectors and wine glasses from the Queen Mary etc etc. On the bottom of the bookcase like built ins are the cabinet doors I took for free from the lumber yard. Get this, the yard crew had Makita and DeWalt drills and sanders still in their black cases never opened. Staff recd those I took one for myself (a drill) and one for my Dad. My brother came and took a jig saw for free. I was hoping to get the chop saw but someone beat me to it.
I am getting ready to buy my first house. My goal was to buy by the time I was 25 but I never made it. Now in my 50s I am finally able to. My papers are at the bank to see what I can be approved for and I have a nice amount saved. I love to sew, so curtains are covered there. I even make my own dust ruffles. I am happy to learn about these liquidators I shall Google it. I also have in the past donated wicker furniture to the Habitat Restore near me that I now kick myself for donating but, my storage unit went up very high. My new little place (I am hoping for) has a small patio.
I love your channel. I am up at 4:30 watching this because I have RLS very bad this week. I have a disabled leg but I fell last week on vacation and banged up my good leg. I was happy to see this video was so recent too so then you know what stores currently have at about the same time you posted.
Your one of my favorite TH-cam personalities especially for crafts. I presently live in a 1940 historical building and I am not allowed to use nails or molly bolts so all my large art pieces are not hung. Your wire shelves gave me an idea to maybe find one and for now prop up on a table. I make all my earrings and I haven't a way to store them. I bet the fish hook style ones will hang nice on the racks.
Thank you for a great video. I came on to watch a video on how to make bags out of wrapping paper but I could not find it. I saw this and thought well, Kathryn is better than that! 🥰
Fondly,
Rebekah
But bin and basket liners are a really quick, easy, and affordable way to change up the look in your space! Got soft sage green liners? Change them out for a fun lime/rose plaid- or grass green polka dots on crisp white. Wash up the old ones and fold them away- you can always go back to them at a later date😀
I am definitely not anti-liner, especially if you’re putting some thing in the basket that might snag or if you have a basket especially the metal ones that have large holes in them. I also like that you can take the liners out and wash them making your basket even fresher.
Hi, I used to think the same way about basket liners untill I found a basket I absolutly use daily. It's used for harvesting, picking up clutter, dirty dishes, clean dishes, taking care of small items and sometimes a few linens. To keep it clean I use a liner of some sort. Also if someone has trouble seeing small items that may get caught in wicker and they have a wicker basket the liner can be a real game changer making it easier for them to find and grab things.... You did a great job on your video. God bless. 🙂
I don't understand the no liner thing 😮
Some people just like the natural look of a basket. And don't want the fuss of cleaning a liner. @@fedoranahmens7096
I agree with most thrift stores.
I'm lucky that I have a local ANIMAL HUMANE SOCIETY thrift store with very reasonable prices & ran by mostly Volunteers. ALL profits go directly to HELPING ANIMALS 🙏❤️
Local animal rescue thrift stores are the only place I donate to and occasionally buy from. Thank you for thinking of the animals ❤️
Oh my chocolate chip!! Thank you very much for your magnificent and marvelous videos, your advice is greatly appreciated! My family and I love watching your wonderful videos and tuning into your TH-cam channel! You are kind and caring and always make our day better! Thank you for sharing your inspiration to all the families every single week! We are grateful for your videos every week, it is a blessing!! You are a blessing Kathryn!! ❤
No plastic!! Yay!!! Thank you! Oh, my!! Liquidation!! You are always fun,easy to watch, and you also get right to it! Pet peeve of mine is when someone goes on and on and on! You are positive, perky, and pretty. And yet, normal. We know you've struggled, also, and it makes you even more likable!
I absolutely love your positivity. It is very contagious I always look forward to your channel because I always feel better and I'm always smiling after watching so thank you for that in the wonderful ideas.❤
SC thrift stores have definitely raised their prices, especially the Goodwills. Loved this video!
My first suggestion to friends that say "I never find anything." I always ask "how often do you go?" I find my treasures when I commit to going often. I live in a small town but have found diamonds in the rough when I go often. And this applies to Dollar Tree as well. Love your ideas! Jenny
I shop resale shops a lot. I agree prices have gone up. I especially get annoyed when I can go to the sale section of Walmart or target and get a brand new item for $3-10 and the thrift store is selling the same item for more sometimes. 😆 I tend to go to smaller or church run stores to get the best thrift deals. I look for very specific items and I try not to buy things I won’t use often. I don’t want to become my own thrift store. Lol.
I have to say who ever routed the water lines under your Sink did a fantastic job ! Love that it is out of the way, giving you room for cabinet space. Thank You for making these inspiring videos ! Habitat for humanity stores are so awesome. Now I'm going to search for a liquidation store in my area, decluttering and refreshing my home. 😊
LOL tell me about it

I thought they were to prevent fabric from getting snaged.
Thank you Kathryn for always being the cheerleader we all need. Please remember you too are enough
Yes, the thrift stores in my area sell things used that I could buy new at Walmart, DT or DG. In fact I just went on a trip looking for baskets which used to be the cheapest thing out there at thrift stores. Not anymore, I ended up getting a nice new one from Dollar General for less.
Your energy & ideas is simply endless!!! I learn something new from you every time, you're amazing. Btw, you're enough if no one has told you today Kathryn--love, hugs & God Bless you 💕💕
Yes anything to organize and be fast about it, count me in!! Thank you for always sharing such amazing videos. Everyone stay safe from the hurricane. ❤
Yes! Thank you! You too ❤
@@DoItOnaDimewhat are bin stores? What r the names of the stores?
I rarely shop at thrift stores but I've used SO MANY of the IDEAS you and the DT TH-camrs have given me to "shop my home" or to give an item, like a wine rack, a wire shelf or an old cd holder, a second look. Just because thrift stores might be too expensive doesn't mean we might not find some of these items for FREE in someone's front yard or on Facebook marketplace. Love, love, love your creativity.
Kathryn, you are the best!! I love your enthusiasm and your creativity!! Thanks for sharing your ideas!!
I absolutely adore your content!
Thank you so much!! So glad you are here!
I've bought some incredible pieces from habitat for humanity. I recently got a small bookcase and added the dollar tree peel and stick wallpaper to the back (thanks for your brilliant idea) its gorgeous and no one believes it cost me 8.00. Thank you SO MUCH Kathryn, you are awesome!!
Love the bin stores! All of our thrift stores including Habitat have gotten much higher. I see a lot of overpriced DT stuff in my local thrift shops and Goodwills, so I go more on 25-50% off days🤷🏾♀️ Great finds and uses❤🙏🏾
YOU ARE ENOUGH... I appreciate your energy!! Thank you!!
The wine rack for water bottles is so ingenious! I paused the video and ran to the store
The chain thrift stores have raised their prices a lot! I find that the small hospice thrift stores are best. However, if you shop the sale days you can still get bargains ( all red tags etc).
I haven't done this in awhile but the next county was a "rich people" county so their thrift stores had more upscale items. I used to buy my work outfits that way, especially at the end of the season.
I have been going to the ReStore since you recommended it about 4 years ago. Love, love , love!!! I have bought solid wood furniture for basically a nickel..😂 Can’t be beat
My thrift stores have gone up on everything too. And my thrift stores haven't been getting much stuff in lately. I love you, your family and your channel! One of my absolute favorites!
This is definitely mind blowing!! I started googling after watching this and I did find bin stores near my area. Never would’ve thought they would have stores like this! I live in Granville county in NC. I’m desperately needing ideas for my craft room and these stores would be perfect to check out for those! Thank you for sharing!
Such a joy watching your videos 🥰💕yes, my local thrift stores raise their prices as well 🤷🏻♀️thanks for your positive attitude, you made a day so much better 💕
The clothes rack is also great for plants!
Thank you .just gotta love your upbeat petsonality.
What a great tip! Thank you! I didn't know about Target liquidation centers. There's one close buy that I'm checking out this week. The bins stores, not so much luck. Lots of clothes vs. organizers. Got to keep checking back.😊
Thanks you, Katherine. ❤❤❤
Super fun lady. Love watching you. Love thrifting, going to estate sales, yard sales. Your idea's are awesome
I'm in rural central FL and yes, thriftstores here have raised their prices, even the small ones.
Wow so much great info in just 10 min. You are the light in the darkness, I just love your positivity ❤ As always you have the best home ideas 😊
Love your videos. Your positivity & enthusiasm is such a mood enhancer. You are a ray of sunshine! ❤
Thank you so much for the information and tips...so valuable! You are enough!
Love, hugs and prayers! 🌻
My jaw ha has already dropped and I'm only 1 minute into the video! I have never heard of liquidation warehouses before!! Thank you so much Kathryn!💞
Oh my Lord I just love your energy! And yes have to admit that thrift store prices have gone up, but I believe that not always but at times I could find a really beautiful treasure in them. I haven't given up on them yet. Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you for all of this new advice about liquidation stores!
Another great video! Love all the options you have shown. I am trying to be more mindful of what I bring in to my home. It is so easy to buy things when the price is so great.
So much great info! Love your sweet and swift delivery! Keep smiling!❤
Asheville, NC here…even our Goodwill, and HFH, stores are way over priced….countless times I have found items with an original price tag still on them, and the thrift store has them priced way more than it cost originally, they do this with Dollar Tree items all the time!…I LOVE thrift shopping, and it has definitely taken the fun out it, and I rarely go anymore 😢
…love your energy, and thank you for always having a smile!
Love you Kathryn! Your videos are the best. You are always so upbeat! Thanks for sharing all the wonderful tips! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love thrifting and finding great deals!! TY for the awesome video. ❤
ThankYou so much, I really love your ideas, such a great inspiration.
Kathryn, you are such an inspiration! Your ideas are so helpful, and your enthusiasm is contagious! I laughed out loud when you found and yanked those godawful plastic straps from your top! Those things have irritated and embarrassed me before! 😂 XXOO ❤
Haha, didn’t notice them until reading your comment!😀
I pull mine off & save then in a caddy. They come in really handy for various jobs in place of string, wire or a twist tie.
Loved this! And your energy
Thank you! The last time I saw you talk about bin stores,I had none near me,now there are 3!
Praying you and the family are safe after the hurricane xxxxxxx
Thanks for the tips. Blessings 😊❤
You were extra funny and relatable this video...the hanging strap tear off had me in stitches! Haha. Thank you for the tips and some totally new information...
Just to let you know I just started watching you again, and wow you all look great your kids are growing up adorable.
I Just love your videos and ideas. Thank you for sharing with us!!!!
Yes prices are increasing but there are still great places to shop. Thanks for another fabulous video and thanks for the reminder about only buying things you will use or need.❤
That was so nice of you. I have the house to myself today. I haven’t spoken to anyone, so thank you for saying that.
I have been watching your videos about five a night really like your content. I really like your ideas.
I absolutely love your videos. I have learned a lot of new ideas, and your sense of humor always makes me smile! Thank you! 😊
If you use your baskets to keep any of your clothing, you may need liners or you clothes will end up getting snagged (so while most of the time liners are not needed, there are a few occasions when they are appropriate).
I absolutely love the habitat for humanity store. I wish I would have gone there for rugs first! But I find lots of good deals there. Tile, chairs, even molding and drawers.
So many great ideas! Thanks for thinking outside the box!!
You gave me so many ideas I like using things in a different way i can't wait to look for some items now
I use those hanger ribbons to make bookmarks. The colors are always so pretty. I make the bookmark from cardboard, then glue the ribbon at the top. Easy diy, I'm sure you could also find uses for them!!!
Lots of good advice 👍 thanks
We just had a bin store open near me, I can’t wait to check it out.
Lovely video, thanks for sharing 👍 🥰
Love this video! TFS!
The basket 🧺 on my kitchen counter has a liner and I ❤love it!! 😊 I ALSO LOVE KATHRYNS TIPS AND VIDEOS!!! Thank you!😍
hello, you are so amazing with the refreash ideal plans.
Those huge totes are also great for a garden bed liner like a large container then fill it halfway with shredded Walmart bags the blue fabric ones will break down over many years but will provide aeration of the roots just dump in all your soil over the shredded bags and it’s all inside one bin bag but that’s a great size for an herb garden or raised flower planter ! Great ideas my friend I love your channel and your enthusiasm is contagious Thank you fir that most of all you get me excited to go clean or organize because of a tip you showed us! I cut old throw away furniture up to reuse or I disassemble furniture from the curb to re use and I don’t want it in a landfill . I wish the government just sent us all Lomi’s the indoor composter and solar panels for everyone it would help so much . I’ve started a garden bed with a great I mean really great product for 100$ shipped to my door from Out Sunny I saw online it’s huge it’s steel it has poles to put the netting over and it prevents critters from eating my veggies . 100$ four sides steel ,aluminum poles netting I did it myself which Wow if you knew me lol 😆! Lol stay happy Catherine or Katherine !sorry I’m not sure which spelling say hey to Charlie and the children too we love you from Canad 😍‼️🇨🇦🌺🌺
Never knew these stores existed!!😮😮😮 mind blown! I'm googling now! 😮❤
The wine rack for water bottles is a great idea! They never fit standing up and the cd holder..brilliant
I'm getting ready to move. And this video came so handy thank you
Love your videos and your energy!
Thank you for the great information
So thankful for your videos. I never knew of any liquidation stores til I watched your video. I'm excited to check the one out here in my area.
You are so creative with the things you find , I love it!

When I was in living in Phoenix, I shopped at Habitat for Humanity. They are great, I miss my days shopping at Humanity.
Love your presentation and of course content ❤
Awesome video. Thank you
Wow! Love this
Thank you for this video, Kathryn! I live in the DC/MD/VA area, and Goodwill, etc. have jacked up prices. Unbelievable prices. Some have shoes priced $9.99 to $25.99! I also have about 3 Habitats near me, but the prices are nowhere near “reasonable”. Most USED furniture goes for $$$. 😱
