Ally, I can't even begin to explain how thankful I am for you and your videos. This is not the first time you saved me from one of my awful panic attacks, which are getting worse day by day. This time it wasn't only your soft, calming voice, but more of the memories about your grandad you shared with us. When I was little, I also played checkers and chess lots of times with my beloved grandad, who passed away almost 6 years ago, and whom I still think about every day. You playing with chess pieces reminded me of the times we spent together with my grandad. Just like your grandad always let you be red in checkers, mine always let me play with the black pieces in chess since those were my favourite for some reason. I teared up a little bit as well at the end of the video but it made me forget about all my problems for a short while, and think of my grandad instead of the panic, for which I can't thank you enough. You truly brighten up my life! Thank you so much for all your help, Ally. If it wasn't for you, I don't know where I would be these days.
Fuxii, thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt message! I'm glad we both share similar happy memories involving our Grandads. And I certainly know what it's like to find something that provides a sense of peace when life has been giving you a heavy load. It's a huge compliment that you consider my videos valuable enough to provide that sense of peace, I'm honored. :) As long as people keep benefiting from them, I'll keep making them. Stay strong. :)
Just wanted to say how much the time, effort, and care you put into every one of your videos is appreciated! Top quality, absolutely fantastic ASMRtist!!!!
Gosh I miss this!!!! This will probably never be read since it’s been 6 years, lol but I had to come back to rewatch your thrifty Thursday series. Hope your doing well!!
My mom caught me listening to this when i was asleep and thought it was a weird kinky video for people with ear fetishes xD, But now she watches them too and it helps with her anxiety! Shes addicted and she comes up to me all the time telling me about asmr artists she finds.
I kinda choked up when you started talking about your grandfather. We have in common that we share some rather strong and fond memories of our grandfathers, and I could tell you were having a bit of a moment. My grandfather is no longer with me, and my heart goes out to you if the case is the same.
hey, im that kind of guy that stays up late like 03;00 in the morning.... watched this at 21:00 and now it feels like HYPNOS smacked my head with a hammer... i cant even keep my eyes open...
In the animal salt and Pepper set, I think the whale is actually the pepper, even though its bigger. Usually, pepper thingies like that have 1 hole while the salt has 3 so you can pour more. On another note, I loved this video, like always made me very relaxed :D
It depends. There's no set standard. There are generalizations but those also differ based on the region. iirc in the US it's more common for salt to have less holes than pepper.
I always interpreted the shapes and marks on the chess pieces as representing their degrees of movement on the board. The rook has 4 notches (tower battlements) for the linear directions of movement for the piece. The knight is "L-shaped." The arc on the bishop face implying two diagonals intersecting. Queen has points on her crown pointing to all directions. Great vid! I learned to play as a kid, never mastered it tho. Do another video when you learn to play.
Ally these videos are just gorgeous. I mean the look of those one, especially the lighting in the beginning, just looks so amazingly documentary like and the chess set sounds phenomenal.
I have to say you have the best asmr videos. Whenever I have troubles falling asleep I look for asmr videos to kinda distract myself and be soothing enough I drift off and nothing helps more than yours. thank you for the great stress relievers :)
The slot in the Bishop is there to look like a ceremonial hat. It is also there to show that the Bishop moves in diagonal directions. That is what I learned while being in a chess club when I was younger :)
so amazing.... I never believed In this until I fell Asleep during one of your videos. showed it to a couple of friends and they agreed. man this is calming and I love it😍
Was literally going through my subscriptions looking for an ASMR video to watch, refreshed the page and found this video posted exactly after it was posted. Thank you for the easy choice.
Always so excited when I see your videos pop up in my feed! I'm listening to the sounds you're making with the salt and pepper set right now and they're making me sleepy. I must write a comment to let you know this before I doze off lol ;) xx
the top of the bishop is meant to look like a bishop's mitre. you did have your king and queen pieces mixed up in the wrong spaces on both sides. the easiest way to remember is the queen gets to start on her matching color (white queen on a white space, black queen on black space).
The queen actually goes on it's color... so the white queen goes on the white square. This means that bot players king and queen will be across from each other.
osokmav Yes, that's it. I have to say sorry, wasn't trying to be a jerk. I just usually see it written incorrectly as "all intensive purposes", which is also funny.
Whenever I have a rough day or I just simply need to relax I come here to your channel. And it brings me so muck enjoy and relaxation. I simply love the tingles it's my way to disconnect. Thank you for the videos. I really love your work.
From Wikipedia; The canonical chessmen date back to the Staunton chess set of 1849. The piece's deep groove symbolizes a bishop's (or abbot's) mitre. Some have written that the groove originated from the original form of the piece, an elephant[11][12] with the groove representing the elephant's tusks (see photo in the history section).[13] The British chose to call the piece a bishop because the projections at the top resembled a mitre.[14] This groove was interpreted differently in different countries as the game moved to Europe; in France, for example, the groove was taken to be a jester's cap, hence in France the bishop is called "fou" (the jester; the word can also mean madman or gannet).
That looks like the same exact chess set my family used to have in their camper to use on road trips. Ours still has the box it originally came in. We also keep our pieces in ziplock bags.
Hi, I just wanted to say how much I love watching you. My mom got me interested in ASMR, and I have to say I dint like it till I started listening to you. I'm only 12 and listening to you always gives me the tingles, it helps me go to sleep(witch is GREAT!) I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your commitment to your videos.😊 P.s I loooooove your tapping.
How have I only discovered ASMR now??? I trigger with this non stop throughout the day and I never identified it. I think I'm addicted to your channel now :D
ALLY!! Thank you so much for saying "hi" to me on twitch the other week. Totally one of the coolest things that's ever happened to me. Keep making videos, they are the greatest!
Crazy to see coming from a sub from when u had like a few thousand subs just how far you've come front the amount of subs and way to videos sound and look. Keep up the amazing work
I didn't mention before but i wanted to ask you something. About the super relaxing background from your old house with the lights and the sort of rug... When not listening to your vids before sleep but watching to relax in the mid day i found it a bit anoying to have the white sterile room. But your vids are of such good of quality i didn't dare to ask. especialy not after departure 2! But...This is so much better ..Thank for hearing the voice(s). lol Feels warm and cosy . thanks for feeding our relaxing eyes with darker and more warm lights during the video. its so very appreciated. txxxxxx
Ally, your eye makeup is impeccable in this video. BTW, in North America, Pepper shakers generally have more holes than salt shakers. In Europe, it's just the opposite. Also, the "cut" on the Bishop is supposed to represent the bottom of the Mitre Hat that Bishops wear. Also your chessboard setup was correct except for the Queens begin on their color (light on light square, dark on dark).
Wonderful video. Watched it last night but fell asleep at the salt and pepper shakers. :) Had to watch it again today. You do an amazing job on all of your videos. Thank you for all your hard work making them for us. On a side note the queen always takes her color. :)
Very relaxing video, well done! :) Chess is actually not very difficult to learn. Getting really good at it takes years, but just learning it well enough to be able to play against someone you can do 20 minutes. A chess strategy asmr video sounds awesome! :D
Yay! Thanks again Ally for the video! They're always great! Just wondering though, how come you dont upload in 1080p? I think your videos can be EVEN better in 1080p!
I've attempted to watch this video 4x now. I fell asleep each time and have yet to see the whole thing. THANK YOU Ally! I was beginning to think sleep was a mysterious phenomenon people talked about.
The bishop piece has the cut diagonally to sort of resemble their ceremonial caps, which had a diagonal sort of shape to them. This is also why the bishop only moves diagonally. :)

Love the camera...just so high quality.
Paired with your microphones it's just so awesome; you're spoiling us, Ally.
I always love your Thrifty Tingles videos!
Thank you, Amy, I'm glad you appreciate them!
still such a gem, 9 years later.. we all miss you 💜
The whale is from the salty sea while the pepper in the crocodile has bite.
That's exactly what I thought, too!
I didn't realize that but it makes sense:)
I kinda choked up when you started talking about your grandfather. We have in common that we share some rather strong and fond memories of our grandfathers, and I could tell you were having a bit of a moment. My grandfather is no longer with me, and my heart goes out to you if the case is the same.
I looove your videos! The soft, warm light in the background always reminds me of Christmas
hey, im that kind of guy that stays up late like 03;00 in the morning.... watched this at 21:00 and now it feels like HYPNOS smacked my head with a hammer... i cant even keep my eyes open...

Raven Feare really? that's wierd... because usually, yo upour more salt than pepper on your food. but oh well...
HopeaToffee well me apparently. SORRY sir, for wasting your precious time trying to educate myself.
HopeaToffee thas pretty mess ed up man
In the UK at least a single hole is salt, multiple is pepper.
The ear to ear is my favorite part. I wish you would do a lot of that.
You are the best ASMR youtuber
Along with many others...
IzzyGoesMeow Best meaning one.
Brett Bishop She is my favorite and no one else comes close! It's very subjective :)
The setting/lighting/colours of this video make it so much more relaxing
my goodness i love your whisper and your videos, you are so talented. thank you for sharing with us all.
Thank you for such kind words, that really means a lot! :)
+ASMRrequests Love your channel
+ASMRrequests Omg keep making more of these it's like a little adventure each time these are so great:)
The porcelain salt and pepper shakers are such an amazing tapping sound. Gave me shivers all the way down my neck! Awesome video.
The production quality of your videos is unmatched. Top tier stuff.
I always interpreted the shapes and marks on the chess pieces as representing their degrees of movement on the board. The rook has 4 notches (tower battlements) for the linear directions of movement for the piece. The knight is "L-shaped." The arc on the bishop face implying two diagonals intersecting. Queen has points on her crown pointing to all directions. Great vid! I learned to play as a kid, never mastered it tho. Do another video when you learn to play.
You are absolutely amazing. I've tried to watch other whisper videos but no one is quite like you.
Ally these videos are just gorgeous. I mean the look of those one, especially the lighting in the beginning, just looks so amazingly documentary like and the chess set sounds phenomenal.
The slot in the bishop is for swiping your credit card to unlock DLC.
"Hey Guys, it's Ally. Welcome to.." *sleeps
Loved the salt/pepper shaker segment Ally! It's already late and watching this wasn't helping me stay awake :)
I have to say you have the best asmr videos. Whenever I have troubles falling asleep I look for asmr videos to kinda distract myself and be soothing enough I drift off and nothing helps more than yours. thank you for the great stress relievers :)
The lighting is perfect for watching at night now. The bright white scenery in previous videos was pretty blinding.
The slot in the Bishop is there to look like a ceremonial hat. It is also there to show that the Bishop moves in diagonal directions.
That is what I learned while being in a chess club when I was younger :)
Oh, man. Thrifty Thursday can now be ANY day? The suspense..!

ASMRrequests Hahahaha
so amazing.... I never believed In this until I fell Asleep during one of your videos. showed it to a couple of friends and they agreed. man this is calming and I love it😍
The background and lighting on this video is so relaxing... great job.
Was literally going through my subscriptions looking for an ASMR video to watch, refreshed the page and found this video posted exactly after it was posted. Thank you for the easy choice.
Exactly what i was doing my friend
I've listened to this 3 nights in a row and never made it past 15 minutes amazing work !
U're so professional but the greatest is that u remain fun ;)
Please bring Salmon back ! I also love role plays
Always so excited when I see your videos pop up in my feed! I'm listening to the sounds you're making with the salt and pepper set right now and they're making me sleepy. I must write a comment to let you know this before I doze off lol ;) xx
Aww, thank you for being so supportive! I always enjoy seeing your comments, I hope this video worked nicely for you!
the top of the bishop is meant to look like a bishop's mitre. you did have your king and queen pieces mixed up in the wrong spaces on both sides. the easiest way to remember is the queen gets to start on her matching color (white queen on a white space, black queen on black space).
The queen actually goes on it's color... so the white queen goes on the white square. This means that bot players king and queen will be across from each other.
I guess technically the way you did it plays out the same for all intentional purposes but they way I pointed out is the "proper" way.
KlotzProductions did not expect to ever see you here haha.
KlotzProductions All intentional purposes? I've never heard anyone say it that way before. :-)
KlotzProductions All intents and purposes.
osokmav Yes, that's it. I have to say sorry, wasn't trying to be a jerk. I just usually see it written incorrectly as "all intensive purposes", which is also funny.
Really love the new lighting.
Another vote for the return of the darker background with the ring of lights being awesome. Thanks for all your hard work.
I really do like this "dark" background more than the bright one... It feels much more relaxing :) like the ones in the old apartment ...
Thanks for helping me every single night when I can't sleep. My favorite video is your tooth fairy role play!!
Whenever I have a rough day or I just simply need to relax I come here to your channel. And it brings me so muck enjoy and relaxation. I simply love the tingles it's my way to disconnect. Thank you for the videos. I really love your work.
Very well done!! I love the Chess/Checker board part you got a really good deal on it.
I think that the crocodile is for the salt and the whale is for the pepper, but they're both cute! Thank you Ally for these tingles :)
So video quality just got bumped up a few notches!!
Looks really professional and almost cinematic!! Very cool :D
Love your videos!! :D
Your sets just get more and more professional-looking each video, nicely done :)

There are a lot of asmr videos out there, but only your ones are actually triggering me! Thanks Allie, please don't stop making such good videos
Hi, I just wanted to say how much I love watching you. My mom got me interested in ASMR, and I have to say I dint like it till I started listening to you. I'm only 12 and listening to you always gives me the tingles, it helps me go to sleep(witch is GREAT!) I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your commitment to your videos.😊
P.s I loooooove your tapping.
Could you do a video of raking sand in a zen garden?? Love the videos!!!
Great video! Very relaxing!
How have I only discovered ASMR now??? I trigger with this non stop throughout the day and I never identified it. I think I'm addicted to your channel now :D
The salt and pepper shakers are adorable! :D And sooo relaxing and tingly! :3
Love Thrifty Tingles! The "Goodnight" was perfect. :)
Loved your binaural whispers at the end with the chess pieces!
ALLY!! Thank you so much for saying "hi" to me on twitch the other week. Totally one of the coolest things that's ever happened to me. Keep making videos, they are the greatest!
That salt and pepper set was too cute! Looking forward to the new role play :-)
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed them! :)
Never get tired of hearing that intro music! :D
I love thrifty tingles!! Your videos are by far the best ASMR videos on you tube! X
I collect salt and pepper shakers. Those are so adorable! I wish I had those.
my favorite asmr creator, even after all of these years ❤️ hope you’re doing good Ally and that life is treating you well
Nice tingles. So gentle.
Crazy to see coming from a sub from when u had like a few thousand subs just how far you've come front the amount of subs and way to videos sound and look. Keep up the amazing work

But...This is so much better ..Thank for hearing the voice(s). lol Feels warm and cosy . thanks for feeding our relaxing eyes with darker and more warm lights during the video. its so very appreciated. txxxxxx
Oh my god, I think that is the cutest measuring cup I have ever seen. Squee!
What camera do you use, Ally? The quality is astounding.
truly enjoy your videos and the subtle humor!
The notch is usually on the top of the bishop and is to represent a bishop's hat. Loved the video btw.
Always a fan! Hope all is well! Thanks for all the time you devote to us :)
Thank you for the wonderful sounds!
You really are the best ASMRtist out there... Oh sweet Jesus !!! Holy tingles !!!
Very professional. Love it very much!
Great video, just found your channel, wondering what kind of camera you use for filming, this is a really great lighting set up.
Thanks for these videos! Always help me relax and sleep tight, got introduced to asmr by your channel and fell in love with it instantly
Oh man you're one of my favorite asmrtist i loooooove the fact that there's no white noise or a litte bit of it keep it the good work. ;) :)
Thank you, Adrian! I've worked hard to improve the quality where I can, and I'll continue to. :)
Enjoyed your soft voice, really relaxing! Playing wth the checkers and chess pieces created relaxing sounds. Thanks....Phil
Yay, a new fancy background! So much more relaxing!!
Great deal on the chess and checker set.
Your videos are always great keep up the great work
Ally, your eye makeup is impeccable in this video. BTW, in North America, Pepper shakers generally have more holes than salt shakers. In Europe, it's just the opposite. Also, the "cut" on the Bishop is supposed to represent the bottom of the Mitre Hat that Bishops wear. Also your chessboard setup was correct except for the Queens begin on their color (light on light square, dark on dark).
Thank you, Kevin, you've answered all of my questions! :)
Really fantastic stuff as always, amazing triggers in this one. Keep it up!
Wonderful video. Watched it last night but fell asleep at the salt and pepper shakers. :) Had to watch it again today. You do an amazing job on all of your videos. Thank you for all your hard work making them for us. On a side note the queen always takes her color. :)
When you say "Tingle Worthy". It reminds me of Seinfeld when Elaine is deciding if a guy is "Sponge Worthy".
I'll take the whole case
love the background so much! thanks for changing it
This is my favorite thrifty in terms of tingles. Thank you so much! :)
Just going to say this now: I was playing Minecraft, and that music set on low mixed with this was AMAZING!
Any chance you could finish The Sound of Music book you did a while ago? I think it's one of the best you have done.
Very relaxing video, well done! :)
Chess is actually not very difficult to learn. Getting really good at it takes years, but just learning it well enough to be able to play against someone you can do 20 minutes. A chess strategy asmr video sounds awesome! :D
Love the video and I know it really doesn't matter but I'm pretty sure the alligator is the salt shaker. Thanks for the tingles
Great timing. Was just looking for a video to go to bed with
Your videos are incredible! Always love seeing that you've posted!
Youre taking video and audio quality to the extreme xD
Fingernails tapping the whale was one of the best tapping sounds. You would be an excellent percussionist.
Yay! Thanks again Ally for the video! They're always great! Just wondering though, how come you dont upload in 1080p? I think your videos can be EVEN better in 1080p!
I was just wondering the same thing :)
Probably because of long upload times.
This knocked me out last night Ally- thank you so much!
I've attempted to watch this video 4x now. I fell asleep each time and have yet to see the whole thing. THANK YOU Ally! I was beginning to think sleep was a mysterious phenomenon people talked about.
Love this background!
I love your videos so much! They are so relaxing!
The bishop piece has the cut diagonally to sort of resemble their ceremonial caps, which had a diagonal sort of shape to them. This is also why the bishop only moves diagonally. :)
What camera did you use?! Superbly lit!
