Just found your channel and I'm enjoying it. Can I ask where do you find the garage sales?
Thanks for watching! I usually find them on garagesalefinder.com or estatesalefinder.com or Nextdoor app, even Craig's list is still big for posting garage sales. And there's always signage...some people aren't savvy with websites or apps, so they just post signage. Good luck and happy hunting!
@@longislandthrifter Thanks so much!
Great content! (Even though I’m in Elmhurst, Queens, LI-Lol)
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Great store. Beautifully curated. I love all of the different glass colors. And yes, they freaked me out, too.
Someone must have dropped acid to come up with Cabbage Patch Dolls! Thanks for watching!
@ 🤣
That was fun ! Great filming there . Wish I lived closer to this store ( I’m in Australia) but your vid was of was a wonderful , immersive experience !
Yay! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!!!
Thank you for sharing your visit to this amazing place.
I can't wait to go back to this shop many, many times! Thanks for watching!
That purse! Yes. Please. And, the colored glass was gorgeous!
RIGHT?! The lucite Bean Purse was amazing! Thanks for watching!
I drive by this shop and was so curious. Now I cannot wait to stop in. So many finds and fun items. Glad I found your channel.
Thanks for watching and good luck with your treasure hunt!
What a great store!!! Loved your cookie jar 😊
My new favorite store and cookie jar! Thanks for watching!
💬 Question of the Day: What home safety items have you found most helpful for seniors? Share your experiences in the comments-I’d love to hear your insights and recommendations!
My husband, who only tolerates thrifting with me LOVED this place.
That's a good sign! Thanks for watching!
Not the best goodwill in town. Ugh!
So I've heard...thanks for watching!
Great suggestions 👍
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
But how would I go about pricing? I want to get into selling but have never done it before :,)
You generally find sold comparisons on eBay then price accordingly. There are tons of videos on YT for eBay beginners. Those will help you learn more about selling online. Here's one of my videos that may help: ua-cam.com/video/F_Iha_ukIro/v-deo.htmlsi=dPmIhwszOdBeJyaf
this is all good advice. I would add that a power outlet near the toilet is also needed for installing a bidet, so the money spent on the install isn't wasted even if the person who needs the electric seat moves out.
Great point! Thanks for watching!
cindy is awesome !
Everything is expensive in Orlando, best place Ross brand new.and they got it free.
Thanks for watching!
interested BUT !!!! never saw a picture of it . I just made my own raccoon coat so talk about savings
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for showing us a great thrift store on Long Island. Will need to check it out! Do you know if they sell Jewelry Jars? I just found your channel while looking for ideas of where to find jewelry jars on Long Island?
I don’t think they sell jewelry jars there…actually I’ve only seen bags of jewelry at Goodwill stores (and we don’t have one here!). Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed your video. I started having a small booth and had $89 in net sales so far in 12 days. My rent space for a small 2 wall area is $150. Plus I have to give 10% of gross sales. It’s a high traffic area and busy place so I feel if this does not work nothing will. I’m leaning towards also doing online sales as the rent sucks and so does the 10% however it feels nice having a piece of a storefront, having a cashier, and a place that will sell my things without me mailing or packing anything. I also don’t have to deal with personalities or bad reviews etc. Their store does not me! I also sell online courses and educational pdfs and that is pretty much passive income. So having multiple gigs is probably the way to do things nowadays. Good luck everyone!
Thanks for sharing your story...my space was rent only, they didn't take any percentage of the sales. I agree, multiple selling platforms and gigs are the way to go. Good luck with your selling! Thanks for watching!
I am curious to know what your plans are moving forward. Will you try a booth somewhere else or just continue online sales? Thank you for sharing your journey. 🤠
For now I will just continue online sales (eBay and FB Marketplace). Thanks for watching!
Never noticed the shop and I travel that area often - can’t wait now to stop and take a look. Thank you!
Thanks for watching and I know you'll find some great treasures!
I live in California - have space - so much fun as a hobby - I go to Arkansas often hoping to get some real deals but I find that most of the vintage shops have higher prices then in California- Do you find that also? So funny vender had a Fenton Hobnail MG 12 inch swung at $145 - but had a ceramic Elf vintage - $2 lol you know I got the elf
Yes, prices are all over the place everywhere you go! I hope you are safe and ok in CA...Thanks for watching!

The Thriftie Awards should take place in multiple cities in multiple states. Let’s start with Minneapolis! Let’s say…June 2025? ❤ Amy from MN😊😂🎉😊😂🎉😊😂🎉
Great idea! I think each state should have their own, then the winners will go to the National Thrifty Awards for Best Thrift Store in the US. Then we can expand to include other countries for the title of Thrift Universe Awards!
I like where this is going…🙌
Thank you for such a genuine presentation. Instant subscribe.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Using your phone to light things up and magnify nothing extra needed.
Thanks for watching!
For anyone considering the adult bibs, my Mom has been wearing her "pearls" at every meal for some years. She loves them! I think she's got about 10 of them. She's given them as gifts as well and they've been well received. We look at the "pearls" as fun. Like she's dressing up for each meal. Highly recommend.
I love this story! Thank you for sharing and thanks for watching!
@@longislandthrifter A few years ago, I gave the pearls and the tuxes to my older nieces and nephews for Christmas to be used for eating boiled crawfish or perhaps to "dress up" when they didn't feel like actually dressing up. Made for a lot of fun Christmas morning. Crawfish juices stain! Also gave one to a friend and she uses it instead of an apron when she cooks.
@@catherinebrame679 So fun!
What's your favorite Long Island Thrift Store? Leave a comment below!
Try Community Thrift on Main St in Huntington NY!
Thanks for the suggestion! I love to find new stores.
Air tags are great for keeping up with your luggage if it gets lost. However, we tried one on my husband's cane, and it won't locate things nearby.
Interesting...thanks for that info!
The afghans you featured were crocheted, not knit, fyi.
Good to know...thanks for watching!
Great video! I had to rewatch on the big screen due to the beautiful items!
Thanks for watching! So glad you liked the finds!
That's my favorite store❤
It’s so great! Thanks for watching!
I am 88 years old those hearing aids that you talk about are no good. You need to go to a hearing specialist and get a hearing aid and adjust it according to your hearing.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
Kudos for your thoughtful and USEFUL suggestions. I've seen so many videos of insulting videos that assume that just because one is over the age of 65, they are completely disabled or demented. These are suggestions that actually would be welcomed.
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you found them helpful!
Amazing! Thanks so much for the gift ideas - you've been a real help! Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas to you too and thanks for watching!
Thank you, you are a perfect one to give the advice we need. I sent for the glasses and the thing to help getting in and out of the car. I need a GOOD shoe horn, I've bought several but they are painful to use. I'd like one that is wide to hold my shoe open with a shovel-like handle, told my son I need to invent one...
Thank you! Here's a shoehorn with a shovel-like handle...we've never used it, so I don't know if it's good. But it has 4.5 stars and has sold over 12,000 on Amazon. Have a wonderful holiday! a.co/d/bcuKaq6
I'm a senior+ appreciate all of your great gift suggestions! Bravo + thank you! ❤
Thanks for watching, I’m glad you found them helpful!
I love older ppl. I work at a nursing home. These are great ideas but, let me stress that the best thing you can give an older person is your time. They just want to know they are loved, appreciated and valued. Bring a gift but, when you bring it, stay a while and come back often. This seeing them 2-3 times a year on their birthday, Mothers Day and Christmas is not good enough.
Spot on....TIME is a precious gift!!
I completely agree! Thanks for watching!
I agree, it's so hard to get anyone to help me. They tell me to just ask, and if I do, I might get help in a day or two if I'm lucky. I know they love me, they are busy, too.
Looks like a shop that I would like to visit - thank you for sharing these finds!
It is a great shop and you should check it out! Thanks for watching!
Absolutely ❤ Your Videos… I Live On Long Island & Always Looking For Places To Thrift.
Yay! Glad your enjoying the videos and thank you for watching!
😊
Thanks for watching!
These are nice suggestions. As a senior myself, a great gift for me would be pet care like groomer appointments, pet sitting if I must be hospitalized for a few days, pay for quality pet food, pet health insurance or cover the pet's medical costs...Pets are so important to many people. I am no longer able to afford veterinary care for my little old dog. I pray she doesn't get sick or injured!
These are great gift ideas, thanks for sharing and for watching!
Please come back and let us know how the air duster is
Will do!
My sister refuses to use a lift chair or lazyboy type recliner because she is deathly afraid a pet will get underneath and harmed. Maybe the seat raiser alone will help. I wish the chairs had warning systems!
We have two cats and they don't go near the chair...yes, maybe the seat raiser isa good start! Thanks for watching!
Great ideas! regarding electric kettle, I suggest finding a “cool touch” exterior to avoid accidental burns
That’s a great point! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing ❤😊
You are so welcome...thanks for watching!
I love 💕 my grabber and lottery tickets...
The best! Thanks for watching!
Cant afford hearing AIDS....i use closed caption on TV....
Omg it was like you knew my husband personally because so many of your suggestions he already purchased for himself. Great ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
