    Do you enjoy Thrifting??? I feel like some prices were high but the books, toys, and games were decent. Tell me what you think...

      I don't have the patience for thrifting but my sister does & she has found some really good things. This store is very well organized & clean. I thought the prices & quality seemed fair except for glasses & some of the women's sweaters u showed.

      I thought the glassware was over priced. Some were nothing fancy just plain glass. I watch a few UA-cam channels where the people are resellers on Ebay and Poshmark. They too have said that Goodwill has raised their prices to the point it's making it harder for the reseller to buy stuff at Goodwill and raise the price enough to make a fair profit. And these are resellers in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Colorado and California.

      In Anchorage, we have Goodwill, Value Village, Platos, Salvation Army, Bishop's Attic, and I there's a couple more I cant remember the name. I live in Anchorage, but haven't been to a thrift store in a while. I do watch a few other you tube channels where the person is a reseller on Ebay, Poshmark, Mercari, Kidizin, etc. They show videos of themselves shopping at Goodwills, etc to aquire more merchandise for their store. And they all have mentioned that Goodwill has raised their prices. Almost to the point that there isn't enough room for mark up for the reseller. You should watch this lady from Pennsylvania named Karen. She's a reseller and is very knowledgeable on hard goods, aka: dishware, pottery, glassware, knick stuff. And clothing as well. Her you tube channel is, "Lavender Clothesline." She goes to Goodwill and other thrift stores in Pa. Also, Branden with Pro Picker. He's in Cincinnati, Ohio. He goes almost daily to Goodwill and more than one. Ginger Marvin is a good one. A husband and wife team in Colorado. Cathy and Chris. They focus mostly on shoes and clothing. Then Part time Picker, in Oakland, Calif. Matt and his wife go to Goodwills and their local flea market. And, Commonwealth Picker and Commonwealt Flipper, Kevin in Virginia. He goes to garage sales and Estate sales. Occasionally a thrift store. Check them out. It might give you some ideas for a future video. Love your videos. Watching from Anchorage. 🙂✌

    I'm impressed with how neat & organized it is as a Thrift Store. Some of the clothing prices didn't look out of line, but others looked way out of reach. Most of the knick knacky things seemed very over priced to me. Thanks for the tour. As always I enjoy the time I spend with you. Hope that doesn't sound to strange. Look forward to our next outting.

Most of the prices were kind of high, I thought, but than again I haven't done this in a long time! Good finds on the book & the game. If I'm going to read a romance, I would rather it be clean too!

I deserve a day for thrifting. 😉 Stay safe everyone, love your videos. Having coffee while waiting for my son and grandson to come try the jerky lol. I'm still so impressed lol .

    Dishes, glassware, platters, etc are much less here at thrift stores. The mens jeans were more expensive there too. Books, games, toys were similar in price to what we pay in Indiana. I always look for yarn, sewing and craft supplies when I go thriving. But I am a big casserole dish purchaser or so my son says. I love Corningware. He looks for electronic, books, and soccer kits. I have gotten some great buys at our local Goodwill over the years.I enjoyed watching this!

    We find Value Village is expensive in Canada as well. “Apparently” it helps stop resale. I like the small Christian stores. It is run by volunteers and the money goes for mission work in other countries. Value village is still on my list, it offers so much variety.

    Looking at the prices of the toddler's clothing, I was surprised. At Carter's website, their sale items are numerous and less expensive. Shipping is free sometimes, or requires a minimum purchase, but I've always made out like a bandit. I liked the way this thrift store displayed things. Neat, clean. But I'd buy clothing online and save.

    • @ThisAlaskaLife
      @ThisAlaskaLife  2 роки тому

    I thought the houseware and knick knack items were expensive. For the clothing those prices were all over the place. The toys, puzzles and books were about the same as here in central California. But ... On certain days they put colored sale stickers on items and those are the best times to go. Also senior discount day!

    Overall, this was an expensive thrift store. As thrift stores go, you have to keep this one in mind me because you never know where someone will donate their items. I can tell you that I would prefer to see The Salvation Army and Goodwill. They're known to be great stores.
    I also wanted to mention that those $2.49 drinking glasses you found, they weren't made of glass; they were made of crystal. Glass hdon'tas a green tint. 🥰
    Have a good day.
    I don't want to offend anyone, but China can keep their things.

I love to look at the various styles. Records, Gary likes to look through the records. Do you have a cool record store in Anchorage? I love the household items and the artwork. I really love going to Church rummage sales. I love Antique stores. I love anything from the 40's and 50's. This store was very expensive. I would be curious what Salvation Army and Goodwill has. Tupperware. I love looking at vintage Tupperware. Do they have stores where people are selling new and used items. Kind of like the updated from the old. All those handled baskets would be good to carry in your Harvest from the Garden. I know I am all over the place. I love those places that are off the Beaten Path. I love going through a good ol' Fashion candy store whenever I travel

    The clothes and shoes were so crazy expensive! Did those seem like good prices to you for used clothes and shoes. Not sure how those things are priced at regular stores in your area besides Costco.

      I will have to compare the prices to the "chain" thrift stores and a local one. The chain ones always seem really pricey! Thanks for watching!

      Agreed! Makes it hard for me to get excited about thrifting when I can get new things for the same price.

    You can find some great things from thrift stores but also loads of junk. Last week I got a pampered chef mandolin for $2.99 new in box. My grandson really enjoys cooking. Not me.

      You are right, it is quite expensive. Most thrift stores in Alaska are expensive, just like everything else I guess!

      @charlenejones68 2 роки тому +1

      Anchorage doesnt have a Real Dollar Tree, or Dollar General. What there is, is a small family run Dollar store. I think there's 2 in Anchorage. I might be wrong. But one that I know of for sure.🙂✌

      I agree on many things! I like finding a few treasures but a lot of times I don't have time to do the hunting that thrifting requires!

    I wouldn't consider Value Village a real thrift store. Yes, they have nice things, but are way too expensive. I've seen it on other channels, Canadian, the same thing in VV's

    • @ThisAlaskaLife
      @ThisAlaskaLife  2 роки тому

      I will have to see what local shops we have and how their prices compare to the "chain" stores.

    Thrift stores are sometimes overpriced, not really what they are all about I don’t think. They used to be where people on low incomes could pick up bargains.
