OMG I never see a DIY furniture make over channel who is from my part of the world in Dallas TX! Thank you!!! I am in Rowlett TX which is in Dallas county! The Garland Habitat for Humanity store sucks for furniture so I just learned from you that some of their locations actually have more furniture than others! Thank you for this tour of local thrift store options!
One of the guys that work at our restore said that when they have one of their half-off sales that usually end up marking the price double so they're still getting a lot of money. People are pretty much not saving any money
@@terricavoli7997 while this is true, thrift stores in general are supposed to be the end of the line, with bottom of the barrel prices for items before they go to the landfill. Literally, the last stop. Increasing prices just so they can make more money goes against the grain of what a thrift store is supposed to be. Not only that, ALL of the major thrift stores (Salv. Army, Goodwill, Restore, St Vincent de Paul) are CHRISTIAN based as a way of offering charity to the public. Therefore, the many people who rely on thrift stores to furnish their homes are also being priced out of items for themselves and their families. And oh BTW, there was a kerfuffle a couple years ago when it got out that the CEO of Goodwill was making _several hundred thousand dollars_ a year...as the head a _non-profit_ entity. So just "saving anything" at a thrift store is only what you see on the surface.
I'm in Collin County, so I loved seeing this! I KNOW how crazy spread out the DFW area is (and the traffic is NUTS)! I have been very angry with the thrift stores in my area of late, as they are obviously taking full advantage of the savviness of today's thrift store shoppers, and are boosting the prices accordingly. I now will not shop at any thrift store, unless it's one of their "half off" days so the prices can be knocked down a bit. Ridculous. And these are supposedly NON-PROFIT stores!
At one of the local stores with OUTRAGEOUS prices and that now looks like a dump, one of the employees told me the managers get GREAT bonuses depending on how much money they make. I would not say any of them are non-profit, but all the profits go to charity AFTER they pay off their management. THEN the leftover money goes for charity...we hope.
the habitat restores around us were CRAZY EXPENSIVE too, we live in Ohio and during covid mandates my husband has copd and asthma so wasn;t mandated to wear a mask, we were told by a very rude employee my husband needed to leave the store...needless to say we will not be back there ever!
i lived in Dallas for about 8 years many moons ago...and I still missing it... The thrift stores were very cheap then...wholly molly...the prices on the furniture are marked as "new"...if people do not buy them the store manager will get the hint lol
Hi, great finds 💗 also what was the name of the thrift store you visited with address showing 3419? I would love to try and find it next time I'm out thrifting.
Will you list the last thrift store ; I think I know it , I’ve been there, and cought great deals, ; but I’ll understand if you want to keep it as a business/confidentiality;
I can’t believe some of the prices at the Restore! I’m in Tennessee and thought ours was high but not nearly as high as Dallas! It makes you wonder if people really pay that much for furniture that needs updating or repairs. 🧐
Easiest way is to google habitat for humanity in Dallas. There are 2 of them with about 3 other thrift stores in between. Drove to those and then the pickers paradise in garland
We had a few Habitat Restores in our area but they all closed because they couldn’t compete with Facebook Marketplace. Not sure why donated items that they didn’t pay for couldn’t compete with marketplace but oh well…
I think the thrift stores are going up on prices because of the furniture flippers. So they want to make a profit as well, but it doesn’t make sense since furniture flippers are not going to pay those high prices and not make a profit.
The Restores here in Chicago are priced the same way. Like that furniture is NEW and not donated!!! I think they and Goodwill and Salvation army have forgotten their mission!!
ReStores aren't really thrift stores. They align more with consignment level. Go to Irving bc there's a lot of decently priced ones there. Also Texas Thrift, There's also a great one by Kroger in Dallas Thrift City.
@@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture I know them all, lol. There are a ton more but as with everything...prices go up so not sure how they each fair now. It's been awhile since I've been thrifting but it was my favorite thing to do. Also, have you gone to the Canton flea market for 1st Monday? Cheaper stuff is in the back section with antiques. I've got the 411 for DFW 😂👍
Possibly because they don't take anything that isn't perfect. I had a beautiful, huge, custom made mantel I wanted to donate and it needed refinishing and they wanted no part of it.
Wow!! Umm apparently you don’t watch other flea market videos. Pieces are around $30-$90 each…not $500. Antiques are 100+ yrs old by definition. These are clearly not antiques that I’m looking at.

Why won't this play
Thank you so much!!

Great to see my hometown so well represented! I have donated furniture to Habitat and kept looking to see if my items made the video.
That is awesome! Thanks for watching.
Me too.
The store in Dallas is Genesis. It is a non profit that supports families in need. It’s worth checking out.

It’s a thrift store anything you buy is saving money🤷🏼♀️
That is illegal go ask

@@jekku4688 I always thought Goodwill was a profit making organization. Their claim to fame was hiring the unemployable and not a charity at all.
Thank you for telling us where to go.
Good thrifting! I love this - I'm shooting a restoration video right now. A Mid-century bar cabinet. Stay tuned 🙂
@midcenturyflipper Thank you! We appreciate you watching!

If you can plan a road trip to New England, people put antique furniture pieces out for the trash all of the time. Or, super cheap. Bring a box truck

I have a small accent table I would love to see you flip something like that

Thrift stores are high in my area. Restores are very expensive to.
Very true! It’s so strange!
In Ranger texas we have a hole in the wall thrift store called the quarter store and almost everything there sells for a quarter
Loved the thrifting trip. Thanks for taking us along.
May I ask if all the stores except the last one were Habitat for Humanity? I would love to visit a friend in Dallas and take her shopping. TY!!
Hi, great finds 💗 also what was the name of the thrift store you visited with address showing 3419? I would love to try and find it next time I'm out thrifting.
I was hoping she would give us the addresses.
Will you list the last thrift store ; I think I know it , I’ve been there, and cought great deals, ; but I’ll understand if you want to keep it as a business/confidentiality;
Those rug deals are amazing!! 💕😍💕 and the chandelier 🤯
I was beyond thrilled!
I loved the black iron bed frame!
You scored on your thrifting adventure. Great prices for the rugs.
I think so too! They were a win for sure!! Thank you for watching.
Ohhh!!Wish you said there names ( of all the stores. Or did i just blip it out were they all habitat?
I can’t believe some of the prices at the Restore! I’m in Tennessee and thought ours was high but not nearly as high as Dallas! It makes you wonder if people really pay that much for furniture that needs updating or repairs. 🧐
I think the same thing! Like WHO is buying these for that much $$ ?? Baffles me!
I agree! But what happens to all the unsold, over-priced furniture?
Hi. I live in Dallas too. Where did you thrift at?? Just curious. I’m always looking for new spots. 😊
I just googled habitat for humanity in dallas and visited everything near those locations.
@@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture which habitat had the Wayfair items? Thanks
When and if my habitat store has furniture for sale it is priced like these you showed us.
Those were crazy prices and not already redone. They weren't that back at the one I went 4years ago.
I wish you listed the thrift stores! What is the name of the store in Dallas that had lots of vintage clothes?
I’m not sure. I googled habit stores in Dallas and 3 popped up in the same spot so I just circled around there.
Am I missing something? Am in the DFW area, could you please list the name/location of the stores? Many thks, enjoy your vids!!

Which Habitat for Humanity did you go to? Was that cute lil town Terrell? I couldn’t tell - not wearing my glasses lol
I was thinking the same thing. It definitely might be Terrell, Texas.
Can someone tell me what are the name of these stores please ? I really need some stuff for my new apartment
I sure enjoyed this Thrift Day!! Thanks for the fun....
Glad you enjoyed!
I live in Amarillo, and the ReStore here is priced ridiculously high as well. Like, you people get this stuff for FREE! C'mon!
I think the thrift stores are going up on prices because of the furniture flippers. So they want to make a profit as well, but it doesn’t make sense since furniture flippers are not going to pay those high prices and not make a profit.
Love your shirt.. saw Styx with Aerosmith here in California
I have yet to find any thing at a Habitat Re-Store store
Why didn't you share the name of the third thrift store?
The prices for used furniture at habitat for Humanity is crazy! I don't buy any of it because I can't flip it in my area at those prices.
Yep! Just about the same here! Always makes me wonder whos buying it!
Which Habitat for Humanity Store did you visit starting at 7:02 in your video. I did not hear you mention the name. Thank you
I think this one was the one in Mckinney
The Restores here in Chicago are priced the same way. Like that furniture is NEW and not donated!!! I think they and Goodwill and Salvation army have forgotten their mission!!
It's crazy how high they are priced!
Where exactly is the really great Restore?
Loved thrifting with you. Thanks for the tips and tricks. Good finds.
You are so welcome!
Even the thrift stores prices have gone up…at least in my area. I’m finding better pieces on FB marketplace. Thanks for taking us along!!
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the adventure. Loved the chandeliers. Great finds.

O lord even here in Austin the prices are so high😢
I know! It’s crazy
Good Saturday Morning!
Hello! So happy to have you!
Love S room!
I live in Terrell, east of Dallas. What is some of you favorite resale shops?
I wish I had a favorite! I like the ones near Mabank but they have been hit/miss lately as well
The prices are much higher than the stores.
In some cases yes, but sometimes you can find a really good deal. :)
Genesis has nice clothes.
Salvation army used to have such good furniture not so much the last time I was there.
yea same for me. I find most of mine don't even have furniture.
Possibly because they don't take anything that isn't perfect. I had a beautiful, huge, custom made mantel I wanted to donate and it needed refinishing and they wanted no part of it.
What is the store and where is it located in the DFW area?
I think this is the Mckinney one
@@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture Thanks so much. I enjoy your site. Your descriptions are easy to follow.
You xcored! Aqsome rugs & ligghts!
Rugs and lights for the win. My amazing husband installed them right away for me and they look fabulous!!
Where is “out east”?
I love to go out to gun barrel city
That was really fun! I loved seeing all your scores from our area! Looked like a blast!
We had a really fun day! Thanks for watching!

The price of these antiques is even very low. What do you expect? A gift? Unbelievable.
