L. McAllan good to know and thanks for that info. All of the ones in this vid with the exception of one pair that my little one grabbed were sent to Ghana for a shoe drive.
Hi, I just subscribed. My sister has been talking about you for a couple of weeks now. You have really inspired her and me as well. We have been diving for almost two weeks now. At first I was a bit scared and I wasn't all that enthusiastic about going through a dumpster however, we found that everything that other divers where saying was completely true! On one of our first trips to Michael's we found a Cricut machine, brand new in the box. The box was slightly wet only because it has rained that day. I could not believe it! I was hooked after that. I paid almost $300 for my Cricut machine on flexpay at HSN but my sister got hers for free. Lol. We've tried many stores and have come up empty but always manage to hit the jackpot with Michael's. We've found a couple of things at Big Lots and quite a few things at Five Below but I would say 90% of what we have found came from Michael's. I'm a papercrafter and jewelry maker and my sister likes baking and decorating so we get so excited when we find items that are brand new in the package. I plan to start selling my jewelry and papercrafts so I am looking forward to using some of the items I've liberated from the trash. We've also found many things that we want to donate and some we will probably sell. Thank you for the knowledge and the inspiration!
I just found your videos and I love them! I can't believe the stuff Michaels gets rid of. I don't know why Michaels don't just donate these things to schools or camps. Especially since art is the first thing they cut
The flip flops make me angry as well! I just can't believe they were going to be waste!! I am so glad that you rescued all of them so that deserving feet are going to have some good quality shoes on their feet! I know you'll be making a lot of people happy!
The best time for me has been right after the store opens in the morning. Most of the time the warehouse staff throws away items like these in the morning before the stores open.
Ohhhhh my gosh! I was just at Michaels today! Had I even thought about it....you KNOW where I would have headed! Even though this vid is a couple years old...definitely fun to watch! Thanks for sharing!! Hugs! Linda😀
While watching this video I just kept thinking that all the things you've found is just amazing. I know about grocery stores throwing out food but I had no idea that other stores did this. I'm so glad you came and saved all of this great stuff.
Ok, figured it out now!!! Such great FREE finds!!! I hate they just throw this stuff away...especially food 🥘. Love that you call It Rescuing!! These items definitely need to be rescued!!
Can we just talk about why it is legal and normal for stores to throw away perfectly good merchandise? I also dumpster dive and people also say "well donate it" or "you're not supposed to do that" but why is it ok to throw away new items? Rant over...
the same WHY is asked by me on WHY is it illegal in some areas to remove the new stuff. That's what stupid. You do know that a RANT is speaking or shouting or commenting at length in a wild, impassioned way right? I do think that it should be illegal to toss out new shoes when so many are going barefoot. I do think it should be illegal to mass produce this stuff in countries where child labor is being used to produce it ONLY to throw it away. The dumpsters in this counties are full with food but the food banks aren't. Yeah illegal is a passionate way to describe what should be done to these greedy companies. We mandate the hell out of everything else so why not this?
+FRUGALNISTA there should be laws for what your getting at yea but stuff like this like craft stuff... why make it illegal to throw away new stuff like crafting tools and such when it is perfectly legal to just kill a baby?? (Abortion) you think it's ok to throw away a baby basically, a life, but not some new things that they have too much of? I don't mean to come across mean or anything, I understand your point I just think it would be stupid for this to be illegal but ok to abort babies even if they can't take care of them... put the baby up for adoption instead (if you hadn't noticed I'm comparing, donate the supplies not throw away but still it shouldnt be illegal to throw them away if it's legal to basically throw a life away..)
+Katie Marie well with that rationale I don't think you are being mean at all I just think that if you are basing ALL America's ills on something as serious as abortion you are really RANTING in the comment section about a video concerning greedy retailers polluting this planet. My heart bleeds for ALL lives including the countless of children who weren't aborted but who go to bed hungry when food is getting tossed in the trash. You mention crafts as though it's less of a necessity but what about the pollution aspect? Last I check God ain't making more land so why not make it illegal or make these retailers more responsible. I can't pollute but they can? Ok again I think you are kinda sorta missing our ORIGINAL point (not being mean).
Have you ever heard of Operation Christmas Child? You make a shoebox for a child that is sent to countries all over the world. So many of the items you found would be perfect to add to shoeboxes.
I have heard of it before via my comment section. Items like the ones in this video would be perfect for that. This is why I decided to share with the hope of getting others to start peeking, especially if it is legal to do so in their area. Thanks Michelle for the info.
debmart59 I am like a big kid when I get stuff like this. It's been a minute since I have been out and yes it's like opening presents. Thanks for watching Deb!
+Abby Holzworth apple sends back any defective products to special apple location where they refurbish it, or use it for parts, or fix it. Source: I was an apple customer and when id take in my phones for repairs, they'd take it and hand me a new one, multiple times they explained they ship it back out to refurb.
+Kelsie Hayes also, any phones you'd find elsewhere would all be under the table stuff. This means apple stuff that was thrown out by people not a company, much of it is sold online though
You found some great things. I love craft stores for personal and schhool usr for my classroom. We recently did a project in class for military families. Those bags would have come in handy. I love your channel.
I agree. I tried to get something and they refused to sell it to me because it rang up a penny. I told I Them it would be used for a class I was teaching. Still did not sway their decision. I want to decorate my classroom bulletin board you got any ideas to offer?
The things that these kind of places throw out is crazy. I have seen youtube videos where people find working computers, game consoles (xbox 360, ps3, wii, etc.), phones and a lot more. Our country wouldnt be in the mess it is in if these things were donated to a goodwill/salvation army. And food items to food pantries or churches. Nice vid. A new subscriber is here. What are the best places to go find stuff at besides staples.
wow i just ask my michael manager around the corner from by house,and he's ok. to start the grab bags how lucky am i.thank you for sharing your video very informative
Wowww I'm watching this completely dumbfounded, I can't believe how much amazing stuff gets thrown away!! I'm doubtful we have it to the same extent here in Ireland because I imagine your stores are a lot bigger but I wish I could stumble upon all those awesome freebies!! Definitely going to subscribe :) xx
Wow, Wow, Wow, you had me at 'free'! I hung onto every word and second, ha, ha. I know I'm late to the party... Being disabled I can't get out, but watching you made me feel like I was there. I subscribed to to channel right away! You have beautiful soul. I also loved the convo you had with Jen's life. I'll check her check next. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a Blessed life!!
Martha L Esparraguera Martha, not all Michaels offer the grab bags. Typically they clear out seasonal items by offering them. I have also heard that some Michaels "penny out" merchandise, to get rid of it. They usually put the $2 grab bags close to the register when trying to get rid of past seasons items.
Don't know if you will ever see this but, I am so happy you saved all of that. It infuriates me that they are throwing out perfectly good flip flops when there are people in shelters who could really use them. People seem to forget that a simple pair of flip flops would make a huge difference to someone. Way to go Frugalnista !
Diana Durbin Diane the flip flops were sent to a shoe drive in Ghana, thank God. Watching this years later I’m almost embarrassed that the my first thought was a spa party. First world problems huh?...only in America. Appreciate you watching!
My Michael's never has grab bags. The manager tried to tell me they have very low prices right after holidays, but none of my friends or I have seen them.
Lisa Huther that sounds fishy to me. Maybe the manager or an employee are getting them. Who knows! We all know that they have things like this, who are they kidding.
@@FRUGALNISTA I think that is a shame of what they throw away, however go for you, but you think the could at least hand to bags to you, I know a lot of stores do this, & knowing all the orphanages etc. That could use certain items. Just shaking my head, they could even use as tax purposes, still all & all good for younger person as yourself who is able, if I was younger I would be right there with you :) yes for sure...
Good stuff! I would definitely use the foliage and flowers on my dad and mom’s grave. They have a flower pot between their headstones - well it’s one headstone with the pot in the middle. I’m always trying to find decent silk arrangements that aren’t sky high in price!
I can't believe they just threw this stuff out. How waistful. I'm glad you found this before it ended up being burried in the dump. I wish stores would be more charitable to local communities because all of this is stuff that is useful they could donate to a local school or kids homeless shelter. Why don't they do this???
+FRUGALNISTA I ran into your channel recently by chance. After watching one of your videos I had to subscribe. It makes me happy to know there are people out there like you finding and rescuing all of these free and useful items. It breaks my heart that a lot of stuff is not rescued and ends up in the dump when there is nothing wrong with the items and knowing there are so many people out there that can use this. It's just so waistful. Your channel has inspired me to try and find some free items myself of course in a safe and legal way. I will definatly do some research before go on my little free items mission just to make sure I'm not getting myself in trouble that's the last thing I want to do. If I do find free items I will find organizations I could donate to. Thanks for the inspiration and I am looking forward to your future post's.
Actually I was reading an article, i know you cant believe everything you read off the internet.. But it was of stores like gamestop and some other ones where they arent allowed to give the stuff away they have to toss it.. It's sad but it happens I just hope if someone really needs something like a pair of flip flops then they can go and find it in the trash, which is terrible but i mean they are tossing good items..
please consider doing shoe boxes for Samaritans purse operation Christmas child .. its filling boxes for needy kids they love sunglasses, hats, shoe/ flip flops, balls, cards, small toys, soap/wash cloth, school supplies, clothes & stuffed toys .. you can find them online.. ps the kids dont normally have much so they enjoy the small stuff..
first time watching,all can say is wow!I want to go shopping with you,I like free,can't believe that stuff was still bagged.Good fun,thanks for sharing.God bless!
Its very sad that the people who work at stores think to through away good shoes and sun protection (visors) i dont think its right i think they should have no choice but to donate it
Girl, you are the queen! I am infatuated with the backdoor shopping vids. I still havent had the gumption to do it myself...but Im working on it! You inspire me!!! XOXO!
Oh BTW..on those pens. We had some with some odd patterns and my daughter used washi tape and duct tape to cover them. They turned out adorable! We washi tape everything in this house. ;-)
slottygirl70 Girl I haven't been going to take a peek at this store on purpose because I have so much stuff already. After the holidays I am going to do a deep "get rid of campaign" of most of my free finds. It is starting to take over the house (smile). Thanks for watching!
labuha2000 The BEST part...I bagged it all back up and most of these things are going to my sister-in-law's school. I am so glad I found someone who could use most of this stuff. Thanks so much for watching!
wow i just stumbled upon your site wow that is just cray cray can not believe how much we spend as parents when kids are little and they just throw out all this stuff .. but you know i was pretty good at being frugal and finding stuff ! but i am glad you found a lot of stuff if your around children ... it was meant for you to find ..the jewelry part upsets me how much they charge and then when it doesn't sell it just goes out !! its hard enough to try to have a hobby that you can barely afford to do ugh!! thanks so much for sharing your the best !! as i am watching the video your reminding me so much as myself lol . I will be subscribing and watching 2 thumbs up lady :)
Love your videos and love dumpster diving. one yer while dumpster diving in the large dumpsters behind our mall we saw a well dressed lady got out of her Mercedes and load box after box into the dumpster. We drove up as soon as she drove off. Rather than go through the boxes there we threw them in our van and left, went home and started going through the boxes. There was one name brand purse. Inside it I found a recipt for a dry cleaner with the name of a physician in our town who was going through a very nasty divorce. And what was in the boxes? Apparently his entire wardrobe. lol Very expensive clothes. He is a tiny man so those clothes including 4 hand made suits that would have fit no one except him or some strangely built child.So I did the right thing and took them to his office on Monday. He offered a small reward but I'm a nurse and felt odd about it, besides he was very cheap nd his offer was pathetic. There was also a brand new set of Conair electric rollers which I kept. Never know what you will find. lol
+kris pereira Ohmygoodness we need to start a dumpster diving chronicle...the strangest thing that I found was a dumpster FULL of...I'm almost to embarrassed to say but DILDOS (ok my inner child still cant say that word without me snickering) I was like what the freak?!...of course I didn't touch them (I promise) but imagine a dumpster FULL to the brim with those things. Appreciate your story and thanks for watching.
kris pereira great story. He sounds like a weird little man.. I believe he probably made his poor wife miserable and I'm almost certain that he deserved to have his midget suits get dumped.. LoL.. but you did a good job.
Hi!!! My name is Cerise & I just subbed to your ch. This is only the 2nd video of yours I watched & I am just amazed by what Michaels throws away!!! First off, I watched your Christmas decorations video & it was just beautiful. All of your decorations looked soo expensive & I thought that you were a very rich family. Then I find out they were either free or from the dollar tree. They really do look very very expensive!!! You have a whole lot of stuff that you could sell at garage sales. I love all of the flip flops that you got!!!! I'm looking forward to your videos.
MsCerise007 Thanks so much for watching I do appreciate it and for you to take time and subscribe...WELCOME to my channel. The flip flops were the worst to find and they were donated. Again I am so glad you watched and welcome.
Wow Frugalnista! You are probably the coolest person on UA-cam! I think it is so awesome that you put to use all the things that these stores just throw out! But I am surprised that Michael's didn't donate all of that stuff to Goodwill or something, or even give the flip flops to a children's home? But oh well! At least there are people out there like you who rescue it :]
AG Dolly The flip flops were especially disturbing for me to find. Thank the Lord that the flip flops are being put to good use. A very good friend of mine sorority is sponsoring a shoe/flip flop drive so I donated all but one pair that my youngest daughter wanted. Thanks for watching!
What great finds! I found a huge box of those flip flops at about this time last year (also Michaels). My friend's mom took them all back to Vietnam with her on her fall trip to give to people in the village where she comes from. When you said that there are some countries where kids would be glad to have those flip flops to wear to school it reminded me that we did send them back to the village and the people there were very happy to have them. What a shame that they were headed to a landfill when they could be used to help people :(
ckeefe431 Totally agree... I have sent donations to other countries also via a graduate school studies that my friend was in. It has been a few years and she has long finished up the master's program but I have a call into her to see if she still has a connection with someone who still makes the trip to West Africa. They were so appreciative of the items I sent before and really think they could use these flip flops. Thanks for watching hope all is well with you!
Frugalnista does an excellent job of presenting Michael's merchandise. I am wondering if it is possible to secure like things in St. Cloud, MN at Michaels?
+John Galligan no all Michaels do the grab bags but if you see them they are SO worth picking up a few for a couple of bucks...appreciate you watching!
His And Her Money First things first...WELCOME to my channel, so glad that you subbed. Yes it's down right shameful that they don't BUT since they don't I've been finding tons of items that I can make good use of. Again welcome and thanks so much for watching!
I'm not sure what you're planning for all your items, but I was a little envious because I know several charities that could use some of those items. Our church sends teams to Africa, Cambodia , Nigeria where those flip flops would be so appreciated. Also in the fall and sometimes year round Samaritans Purse sends out the Operation Christmas Child boxes. So many of the small craft kits and a flower or two, bows etc included with the school tools and hygiene items. I This is the first time I've chanced on your video , but as you mention Sunday school and bible school, I'm sure you know some of what I mentioned here. All the best to you for your frugal shopping.
Sharen the flip flops were sent to Ghana (all except one pair that my little one wanted). This is why is share the way that I share with the hopes of getting others to take a peek and make good use of these things that shouldn't be in the trash because it's not trash. I get so many request to give and donate but what puzzles me is why organizations like the ones you have mention aren't doing what I'm doing. This stuff came from 1 store...imagine if someone from these organizations would just look. Appreciate you watching.
I'm a mom of 4 teenagers and I am absolutely going to try to find some stores hehe. I already dumpster dive with pride! I have found so much amazing furniture that I've refinished. loving your channel!
Girl we could be best friends! Great find!! I totally agree about this stuff going into the trash! What a shame when there are so many kids or people that would appreciate so much those flip flops & other things. Just to throw it away seems almost selfish. They could donate that stuff to a church or something. I'm so glad you saved this from such a wasteful end!! Bravo girl!!!
I luv theses bags, I recently purchased one after Xmas and got several foil ball, tree trim. The kind you place in between the branches. Such a good deal.
Wow new subby here love that 🍉 sign so cute can't believe they throw stuff that still good. U can make pen top with the flowers uggh love everything else got wish my Michael had grab bags
As I watched your video I remembered the chickens and didn't buy them because they were so pricey. Watching you open the bags has my heart racing as if it is Christmas! I wish I was there to talk to you and laugh. Thanks for sharing. When do you do your hopping? I feel as if I have made a new friend.
Wow! This was such an amazing find! You can make so many people happy with the stuff you don't use! It's sad that in my country 'dumpster shopping' isn't easy. Every dumpster I've come across was locked or behind a fence, but you could just see there was useable stuff in there. I've even talked to an employee from a local 'dollar store' and she told me that they trow soooo much stuff away that's still perfectly good. The more I think about it the angrier it makes me :c
An awful long way So sad that so much is thrown away when so many folks go without. There is NO reason that anyone can tell me that all of those flip-flops should not have been donated to some non-profit organization. It is enough to make you anger when I see stores throwing away blankets and walk pass the homeless in the cold. GRRR! I do appreciate you watching!
Hi sweetie I am really enjoyed watching this video on UA-cam channel and all your free stuff are so gorgeous and very nice and enjoy your day and God bless
whoa you scored good and yes that little silver hook is a crochet hook for doily making with size 10 crochet threads and just because your kids are growing up does not mean they still can't find a use for all that crafty stuff lol mine are all adults now and they still like to have craft time with me and I do have a grandkids and great nieces and nephews so when they come to visit I have some crafts for them to do have fun with it all
Yaima Martinez First things first...WELCOME to my channel I appreciate you watching. I've been doing it a little over a year now and you wouldn't believe the stuff I find brand new, unused still in the original package. Again WELCOME!
I'm glad I found you. You have a positive attitude about everything you find. Your voice is not squeaky high like some who think they are still little girls. Thanks. You did your best to keep it short, and yet we saw everything in those bags. Thanks again.
ultimatecouponlady I actually have a call into her now...It has been a few years now but I am sure the graduate school she was attending my still travel to the region. That community would really make good use of all of these flip flops.
Wow!! I am going 2 a back store Michael's and c what I can find! Unbelievable!! I love your reactions on your new finds and your comments!! Keep it up!! So many sandals!! OMG!!! And visors!! Do make a video about your fall movie evenings!! So intriguing!!!
New subscriber . Great video. I can't believe that companies throw away things like that. If they couldn't sale it, they could at least give it to the homeless or needy. Thank you for saving those items. You go girl.
OMG! you are too funny.😄 I can see you trying to hurry and pick up all those bags. Lol. How I wish I could have been there with you. This is the first time I see your videos and I have already hit that suscribe. God bless you. And I love your comment about Jesus and him not been on the cross anymore, I caught myself saying Amen out loud. We have a lot in common my grandaughters call me "Tata fix it". Please keep them coming!
Maria Alvarez First things FIRST...WELCOME to my channel and isn't it good to know the Lord. Girl I know that I'm of video somewhere picking up those bags as fast as I can...and YES I could have used your help (smile). Thanks again Maria for subbing and watching!
Deborah Esque I know right?! Thinking about how many trips I have made to this store to BUY stickers, crafts and stuff for the girls and their classroom. When all I had to do was go to the back of the store and get it for free. Thanks Deb!
@@FRUGALNISTA wow thanks! I need to start checking the trash cans. I don't know if it's legal in MI though? It should be legal anywhere. Its going to a landfeild. Thank you again!
Cling stamps?!! AHHHH! (the acrylic block is used with the stamps BTW). Those sold out at our store, I can't believe this store had so many left over that they threw them away without even clearancing them!! You lucky lady! Those piggies are cute too! I would have paid $2 for one (not $12.99 though, LOL!) if our store had any left... maybe they threw them out too? I can't believe how much stuff stores throw away... so wasteful... I am glad you found it and know someone will find a good use for it all with your help. Thanks for sharing! :)
Well done! Iappreciate the fact that we don’t have to watch you going through the dumpsters. Just showing us the stuff you found is so much more interesting.
Hi, that was so great. Seeing all that you got makes me wish I had a car. I subscribed because your haul was just that good and I can't wait to see what you get next. Thumbs Up Carrie
Hi when do they do this grab bag? I am in Michaels often and have never ran into this. You may have told us in the video but I miss it if so. Thank you for your time. I need to save money, I blow so much on dumb stuff when I am bored or depressed. Thank you sharing.
If you think that waste is bad, you should see what grocery stores waste. My husband works at a truck shop inside of a certain big box retailers distribution center (W******). If they drop a case of food on the floor, it gets thrown out. They just had a refrigerated truck that was rejected by a store for not meeting temp (by 2 degrees), so they brought it back to the shop and they were "supposed" to dispose of everything in the trailer. My husband brought home 2 carloads of food and we filled both of our giant freezers and gave a lot away.
+Terissa Taylor Girl one of my biggest fears is "finding" something that use to be "alive"...omygoodness that thing really made me jump (smile). Appreciate you watching!
+FRUGALNISTA yes you have won a new subscriber and I'm looking at your ultra hail part one as we speak!! But yes lord I'm very very scared of frog!!!! Great job look me up on Facebook or Twitter if you have questions about makeup or nerdy things you find and may have questions keep being GREAT!!
Rise-up Society uses flip flops in Kenya for victims of the chigoe flee in their feet after they treat them.
L. McAllan good to know and thanks for that info. All of the ones in this vid with the exception of one pair that my little one grabbed were sent to Ghana for a shoe drive.
L. McAllan I follow Rise Up Society as well!
Such a wonderful work they do!
Their should be like a free section of all the things they don't want instead of throwing them out...
Lydia Zhang
Yeah but they would see how much everyone wants them and they will start charging everyone for them
Hi, I just subscribed. My sister has been talking about you for a couple of weeks now. You have really inspired her and me as well. We have been diving for almost two weeks now. At first I was a bit scared and I wasn't all that enthusiastic about going through a dumpster however, we found that everything that other divers where saying was completely true! On one of our first trips to Michael's we found a Cricut machine, brand new in the box. The box was slightly wet only because it has rained that day. I could not believe it! I was hooked after that. I paid almost $300 for my Cricut machine on flexpay at HSN but my sister got hers for free. Lol. We've tried many stores and have come up empty but always manage to hit the jackpot with Michael's. We've found a couple of things at Big Lots and quite a few things at Five Below but I would say 90% of what we have found came from Michael's. I'm a papercrafter and jewelry maker and my sister likes baking and decorating so we get so excited when we find items that are brand new in the package. I plan to start selling my jewelry and papercrafts so I am looking forward to using some of the items I've liberated from the trash. We've also found many things that we want to donate and some we will probably sell. Thank you for the knowledge and the inspiration!
I just found your videos and I love them! I can't believe the stuff Michaels gets rid of. I don't know why Michaels don't just donate these things to schools or camps. Especially since art is the first thing they cut
Olivia our JoAnn Fabric donates to the Boys and Girls club. Michael's should do the same.
I worked there long ago. They wouldn’t let us donate the stuff. We trashed so many of those lemax ceramic houses. We had to break them.
Olivia I know they should donate.
The flip flops make me angry as well! I just can't believe they were going to be waste!! I am so glad that you rescued all of them so that deserving feet are going to have some good quality shoes on their feet! I know you'll be making a lot of people happy!
Wooow, that is crzy! I might have to climb in a dumpster! Lol
Nichole Bruno Funny thing all of this stuff was in arms reach (smile)...no climbing in for me...I'm afraid I'll get stuck! Thanks for watching!
That is amazing! What time of day do u typically do this?
The best time for me has been right after the store opens in the morning. Most of the time the warehouse staff throws away items like these in the morning before the stores open.
Good to know! I live by a shopping plaza, I might have to take a look real soon😊
Ohhhhh my gosh! I was just at Michaels today! Had I even thought about it....you KNOW where I would have headed! Even though this vid is a couple years old...definitely fun to watch! Thanks for sharing!! Hugs! Linda😀

While watching this video I just kept thinking that all the things you've found is just amazing. I know about grocery stores throwing out food but I had no idea that other stores did this. I'm so glad you came and saved all of this great stuff.
Food is the worst because so many go without it...appreciate you watching JenJen!

New subbie! I love these hauls. I still haven't seen any of these bags at my Michael's 😭 omg I'm obsessed with the watermelon welcome sign. 😍😍
Thanks for watching Melissa!
Ok, figured it out now!!! Such great FREE finds!!! I hate they just throw this stuff away...especially food 🥘. Love that you call It Rescuing!! These items definitely need to be rescued!!
Hehehehe so happy you understand and "get" it...the "D" word just sounds so icky and yucky.
I have got to say you are my frugal hero. I never knew that Michaels threw away so much. You are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amber Kuhfahl Hey Amber and I didn't either until I took a peek (smile)...thanks so much for watching!
Can we just talk about why it is legal and normal for stores to throw away perfectly good merchandise? I also dumpster dive and people also say "well donate it" or "you're not supposed to do that" but why is it ok to throw away new items? Rant over...
agree and agree again!

I just can't believe all this stuff has been thrown away!!!!! Thank you so much for "being the change" :-) , by the way you have a new subbie...
Have you ever heard of Operation Christmas Child? You make a shoebox for a child that is sent to countries all over the world. So many of the items you found would be perfect to add to shoeboxes.
Michelle Clark we are doing that in Mississippi. The children would enjoy her hauls.
I have heard of it before via my comment section. Items like the ones in this video would be perfect for that. This is why I decided to share with the hope of getting others to start peeking, especially if it is legal to do so in their area. Thanks Michelle for the info.
Mississippi in the house, born and raised Mississippi girl, appreciate you watching!
I was trying to be supportive but ur rude. Peace!
GREAT FINDS. Really nice Stuff. I know you have so much fun when you get home. Thumbs up!
debmart59 I am like a big kid when I get stuff like this. It's been a minute since I have been out and yes it's like opening presents. Thanks for watching Deb!
I wonder if Apple throws out stuff
OMG THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME AND COOL
ikr I would go to the back of the store and take everything
Nah lol if they threw away cords they would be cut, def. not phones lol or cases
+Abby Holzworth apple sends back any defective products to special apple location where they refurbish it, or use it for parts, or fix it. Source: I was an apple customer and when id take in my phones for repairs, they'd take it and hand me a new one, multiple times they explained they ship it back out to refurb.
+Kelsie Hayes also, any phones you'd find elsewhere would all be under the table stuff. This means apple stuff that was thrown out by people not a company, much of it is sold online though
You found some great things. I love craft stores for personal and schhool usr for my classroom. We recently did a project in class for military families. Those bags would have come in handy. I love your channel.
J Patterson Thank you for watching...I often wonder why they just want donate the items to reputable charitable organization.
I agree. I tried to get something and they refused to sell it to me because it rang up a penny. I told I
Them it would be used for a class I was teaching. Still did not sway their decision. I want to decorate my classroom bulletin board you got any ideas to offer?
The things that these kind of places throw out is crazy. I have seen youtube videos where people find working computers, game consoles (xbox 360, ps3, wii, etc.), phones and a lot more. Our country wouldnt be in the mess it is in if these things were donated to a goodwill/salvation army. And food items to food pantries or churches. Nice vid. A new subscriber is here. What are the best places to go find stuff at besides staples.
"But the Frugalnista picked it up for FREE!!" lol Congrats on your haul! A lot of good stuff :)
NitrosOwner Thanks for watching!
I wish I had grab bags at my Michael's
Me too!!
me three at my Michael's they probably do
+The Girl in the Mask me 4
+gmomma Godfrey and me......I'm in the Uk.....we don't have anything lol x
wow i just ask my michael manager around the corner from by house,and he's ok. to start the grab bags how lucky am i.thank you for sharing your video very informative
Wowww I'm watching this completely dumbfounded, I can't believe how much amazing stuff gets thrown away!! I'm doubtful we have it to the same extent here in Ireland because I imagine your stores are a lot bigger but I wish I could stumble upon all those awesome freebies!! Definitely going to subscribe :) xx
ParkParks93 WELCOME to my channel...I appreciate you subscribing so much!
Alot of this would be cute to decorate wreaths or packages!
Wow, Wow, Wow, you had me at 'free'! I hung onto every word and second, ha, ha. I know I'm late to the party... Being disabled I can't get out, but watching you made me feel like I was there. I subscribed to to channel right away! You have beautiful soul. I also loved the convo you had with Jen's life. I'll check her check next. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a Blessed life!!
So happy that you watched!
Hi how do you find those 2 dollar bags from Michaels do they have in the stores? great haul love your personality God Bless :)
Martha L Esparraguera Martha, not all Michaels offer the grab bags. Typically they clear out seasonal items by offering them. I have also heard that some Michaels "penny out" merchandise, to get rid of it. They usually put the $2 grab bags close to the register when trying to get rid of past seasons items.
Martha L Rodripp
I'm so happy with you doing this can't believe it gets binned desusting. Love it.
Thanks Tammy!
I am glad your rescued these items. It is astounding how wasteful some stores are.
+Kathryn LS TFW!
Don't know if you will ever see this but, I am so happy you saved all of that. It infuriates me that they are throwing out perfectly good flip flops when there are people in shelters who could really use them. People seem to forget that a simple pair of flip flops would make a huge difference to someone. Way to go Frugalnista !
Diana Durbin Diane the flip flops were sent to a shoe drive in Ghana, thank God. Watching this years later I’m almost embarrassed that the my first thought was a spa party. First world problems huh?...only in America. Appreciate you watching!
My Michael's never has grab bags. The manager tried to tell me they have very low prices right after holidays, but none of my friends or I have seen them.
Lisa Huther that sounds fishy to me. Maybe the manager or an employee are getting them. Who knows! We all know that they have things like this, who are they kidding.
WoW the best haul Free. Oh my goodness who would have known, you go girl :) can't beat that!
Thanks Floss!
@@FRUGALNISTA I think that is a shame of what they throw away, however go for you, but you think the could at least hand to bags to you, I know a lot of stores do this, & knowing all the orphanages etc. That could use certain items. Just shaking my head, they could even use as tax purposes, still all & all good for younger person as yourself who is able, if I was younger I would be right there with you :) yes for sure...
You go girl that was amazing.
Good stuff! I would definitely use the foliage and flowers on my dad and mom’s grave. They have a flower pot between their headstones - well it’s one headstone with the pot in the middle. I’m always trying to find decent silk arrangements that aren’t sky high in price!
Dee How sweet are your to keep your parents graves looking beautiful. Appreciate you watching so much!!!
FRUGALNISTA sweet of you to say! I try!
I can't believe they just threw this stuff out. How waistful. I'm glad you found this before it ended up being burried in the dump. I wish stores would be more charitable to local communities because all of this is stuff that is useful they could donate to a local school or kids homeless shelter. Why don't they do this???
+linkntinks Just found a ton of stuff that shouldn't be trashed. This store is notorious for doing this especially after the holidays.
+FRUGALNISTA I ran into your channel recently by chance. After watching one of your videos I had to subscribe. It makes me happy to know there are people out there like you finding and rescuing all of these free and useful items. It breaks my heart that a lot of stuff is not rescued and ends up in the dump when there is nothing wrong with the items and knowing there are so many people out there that can use this. It's just so waistful. Your channel has inspired me to try and find some free items myself of course in a safe and legal way. I will definatly do some research before go on my little free items mission just to make sure I'm not getting myself in trouble that's the last thing I want to do. If I do find free items I will find organizations I could donate to. Thanks for the inspiration and I am looking forward to your future post's.
Actually I was reading an article, i know you cant believe everything you read off the internet.. But it was of stores like gamestop and some other ones where they arent allowed to give the stuff away they have to toss it.. It's sad but it happens I just hope if someone really needs something like a pair of flip flops then they can go and find it in the trash, which is terrible but i mean they are tossing good items..
Youcan make candy cane ornaments
Just started watching.I subscribed and can't wait to see more! So glad to hear it does not go to waste!
Appreciate you watching and subbing Karen, WELCOME!!!!
please consider doing shoe boxes for Samaritans purse operation Christmas child .. its filling boxes for needy kids
they love sunglasses, hats, shoe/ flip flops, balls, cards, small toys, soap/wash cloth, school supplies, clothes & stuffed toys .. you can find them online.. ps the kids dont normally have much so they enjoy the small stuff..
Another person suggested them to me also, appreciate you watching!
I love how your so quick! Your the best I have seen so far! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Linda!!!
first time watching,all can say is wow!I want to go shopping with you,I like free,can't believe that stuff was still bagged.Good fun,thanks for sharing.God bless!
Deborah Wilkinson Come on Deborah🤗be warned it's VERY addicting and so much FUN!
Its very sad that the people who work at stores think to through away good shoes and sun protection (visors) i dont think its right i think they should have no choice but to donate it
Girl, you are the queen! I am infatuated with the backdoor shopping vids. I still havent had the gumption to do it myself...but Im working on it! You inspire me!!! XOXO!
Oh BTW..on those pens. We had some with some odd patterns and my daughter used washi tape and duct tape to cover them. They turned out adorable! We washi tape everything in this house. ;-)
slottygirl70 Girl I haven't been going to take a peek at this store on purpose because I have so much stuff already. After the holidays I am going to do a deep "get rid of campaign" of most of my free finds. It is starting to take over the house (smile). Thanks for watching!
FRUGALNISTA if you find many dragonfly's let me know k? slight collector, thank you, adam "dragonfly" k from south dakota
omg i am so trying to do this at places like tj maxx and marshalls, i guarantee you they throw away loads of clothes
+Alina Golovina You are so right Alina!
That was cool. I bet it took you hours to organize afterwards. Lol. Thank you for charing!!!
labuha2000 The BEST part...I bagged it all back up and most of these things are going to my sister-in-law's school. I am so glad I found someone who could use most of this stuff. Thanks so much for watching!
I really can't believe these things where for free!!!!! 😱
+Helena Do me either (smile)
I don't know why Michaels thinks that is garbage but it's soooo awesome that you found it so I loved this video :) :) :) :)
Anything you don't want or don't know how to use, you can giveaway or sell. Just an idea 😀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💜♥️💜
Appreciate you watching!
love the haul the crosses are wow have fun with the ideas you have for useing your finds thanks for sharing
Lynda Tidman Thanks Lynda...and thank for watching!
I like your style I agree with you
Jennifer Kelly Thanks Jennifer and thanks for watching!
wow i just stumbled upon your site wow that is just cray cray can not believe how much we spend as parents when kids are little and they just throw out all this stuff .. but you know i was pretty good at being frugal and finding stuff ! but i am glad you found a lot of stuff if your around children ... it was meant for you to find ..the jewelry part upsets me how much they charge and then when it doesn't sell it just goes out !! its hard enough to try to have a hobby that you can barely afford to do ugh!! thanks so much for sharing your the best !! as i am watching the video your reminding me so much as myself lol . I will be subscribing and watching 2 thumbs up lady :)
meanbean98 Thank you so much for watching, I appreciate it!.
Love your videos and love dumpster diving. one yer while dumpster diving in the large dumpsters behind our mall we saw a well dressed lady got out of her Mercedes and load box after box into the dumpster. We drove up as soon as she drove off. Rather than go through the boxes there we threw them in our van and left, went home and started going through the boxes. There was one name brand purse. Inside it I found a recipt for a dry cleaner with the name of a physician in our town who was going through a very nasty divorce. And what was in the boxes? Apparently his entire wardrobe. lol Very expensive clothes. He is a tiny man so those clothes including 4 hand made suits that would have fit no one except him or some strangely built child.So I did the right thing and took them to his office on Monday. He offered a small reward but I'm a nurse and felt odd about it, besides he was very cheap nd his offer was pathetic. There was also a brand new set of Conair electric rollers which I kept. Never know what you will find. lol
+kris pereira Ohmygoodness we need to start a dumpster diving chronicle...the strangest thing that I found was a dumpster FULL of...I'm almost to embarrassed to say but DILDOS (ok my inner child still cant say that word without me snickering) I was like what the freak?!...of course I didn't touch them (I promise) but imagine a dumpster FULL to the brim with those things. Appreciate your story and thanks for watching.
kris pereira great story. He sounds like a weird little man.. I believe he probably made his poor wife miserable and I'm almost certain that he deserved to have his midget suits get dumped.. LoL.. but you did a good job.
Girllll!!!!!! Dumpster diving is the best such great finds! Get it girl!
YASSSSSS!
THank You for giving me the idea of dumpster diving at Michael's -- I never thought of it !! Love your channel :0)
Terri Wilson So happy you are going to try this and I hope you find TONS!
Hi!!! My name is Cerise & I just subbed to your ch. This is only the 2nd video of yours I watched & I am just amazed by what Michaels throws away!!! First off, I watched your Christmas decorations video & it was just beautiful. All of your decorations looked soo expensive & I thought that you were a very rich family. Then I find out they were either free or from the dollar tree. They really do look very very expensive!!! You have a whole lot of stuff that you could sell at garage sales. I love all of the flip flops that you got!!!! I'm looking forward to your videos.
MsCerise007 Thanks so much for watching I do appreciate it and for you to take time and subscribe...WELCOME to my channel. The flip flops were the worst to find and they were donated. Again I am so glad you watched and welcome.
Hi, new subbie and love that you rescue stuff. Unbelievable how much is disposed of when it doesn't sell.
+seren dipity yes it is
Wow so many awesome and cute things.
They are crazy for throwing stuff out that are Soooo nice.
Way to go girl. 😊
Appreciate you watching Felicia!
Wow Frugalnista! You are probably the coolest person on UA-cam! I think it is so awesome that you put to use all the things that these stores just throw out! But I am surprised that Michael's didn't donate all of that stuff to Goodwill or something, or even give the flip flops to a children's home? But oh well! At least there are people out there like you who rescue it :]
AG Dolly The flip flops were especially disturbing for me to find. Thank the Lord that the flip flops are being put to good use. A very good friend of mine sorority is sponsoring a shoe/flip flop drive so I donated all but one pair that my youngest daughter wanted. Thanks for watching!
"But the Frugalnista picked it up for free!" lol I would've said the same thing. Great finds btw
messalla kin Thanks Messalla I appreciate you so much for watching!
You go, you’re power and confidence is really great !!
Thanks so much for watching!
What great finds! I found a huge box of those flip flops at about this time last year (also Michaels). My friend's mom took them all back to Vietnam with her on her fall trip to give to people in the village where she comes from. When you said that there are some countries where kids would be glad to have those flip flops to wear to school it reminded me that we did send them back to the village and the people there were very happy to have them. What a shame that they were headed to a landfill when they could be used to help people :(
ckeefe431 Totally agree... I have sent donations to other countries also via a graduate school studies that my friend was in. It has been a few years and she has long finished up the master's program but I have a call into her to see if she still has a connection with someone who still makes the trip to West Africa. They were so appreciative of the items I sent before and really think they could use these flip flops. Thanks for watching hope all is well with you!
Frugalnista does an excellent job of presenting Michael's merchandise. I am wondering if it is possible to secure like things in St. Cloud, MN at Michaels?
+John Galligan no all Michaels do the grab bags but if you see them they are SO worth picking up a few for a couple of bucks...appreciate you watching!
Wow...this is awesome! I can't believe they throw things like this away. I thought most stores donate them. New subbie! Thanks for sharing. -Tai
His And Her Money First things first...WELCOME to my channel, so glad that you subbed. Yes it's down right shameful that they don't BUT since they don't I've been finding tons of items that I can make good use of. Again welcome and thanks so much for watching!
I'm not sure what you're planning for all your items, but I was a little envious because I know several charities that could use some of those items. Our church sends teams to Africa, Cambodia , Nigeria where those flip flops would be so appreciated. Also in the fall and sometimes year round Samaritans Purse sends out the Operation Christmas Child boxes. So many of the small craft kits and a flower or two, bows etc included with the school tools and hygiene items. I This is the first time I've chanced on your video , but as you mention Sunday school and bible school, I'm sure you know some of what I mentioned here. All the best to you for your frugal shopping.
Sharen the flip flops were sent to Ghana (all except one pair that my little one wanted). This is why is share the way that I share with the hopes of getting others to take a peek and make good use of these things that shouldn't be in the trash because it's not trash. I get so many request to give and donate but what puzzles me is why organizations like the ones you have mention aren't doing what I'm doing. This stuff came from 1 store...imagine if someone from these organizations would just look. Appreciate you watching.
+FRUGALNISTA I didn't expect a reply. thanx was just giving you a compliment.
Wow you did really good! Love the flipflops! :)
TFW!
I'm a mom of 4 teenagers and I am absolutely going to try to find some stores hehe. I already dumpster dive with pride! I have found so much amazing furniture that I've refinished. loving your channel!
+Christy Hutchinson Yes to that Christy I don't understand why everyone isn't peeking in and finding all this amazing stuff!
Girl we could be best friends! Great find!! I totally agree about this stuff going into the trash! What a shame when there are so many kids or people that would appreciate so much those flip flops & other things. Just to throw it away seems almost selfish. They could donate that stuff to a church or something. I'm so glad you saved this from such a wasteful end!! Bravo girl!!!
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW I'm overwhelmed and in my mind I would be screaming but I am very new to this Dumpster Diving.
Missy Thomas I've been doing it a little over a year now and I still say WOW at the things I find in the trash. I appreciate you watching!
This is amazing! So glad I found your channel!
+Cindi Suarez Glad you found me too Cindi!
I luv theses bags, I recently purchased one after Xmas and got several foil ball, tree trim. The kind you place in between the branches. Such a good deal.
Thanks for watching MEL!
Wow new subby here love that 🍉 sign so cute can't believe they throw stuff that still good. U can make pen top with the flowers uggh love everything else got wish my Michael had grab bags
Appreciate you watching so MUCH!
As I watched your video I remembered the chickens and didn't buy them because they were so pricey. Watching you open the bags has my heart racing as if it is Christmas! I wish I was there to talk to you and laugh. Thanks for sharing. When do you do your hopping? I feel as if I have made a new friend.
Great way to describe it...like opening a present. Appreciate you so much for watching friend (smile).
Wow! This was such an amazing find! You can make so many people happy with the stuff you don't use! It's sad that in my country 'dumpster shopping' isn't easy. Every dumpster I've come across was locked or behind a fence, but you could just see there was useable stuff in there. I've even talked to an employee from a local 'dollar store' and she told me that they trow soooo much stuff away that's still perfectly good. The more I think about it the angrier it makes me :c
An awful long way So sad that so much is thrown away when so many folks go without. There is NO reason that anyone can tell me that all of those flip-flops should not have been donated to some non-profit organization. It is enough to make you anger when I see stores throwing away blankets and walk pass the homeless in the cold. GRRR! I do appreciate you watching!
Good stuff. It's hard to believe all that went in the garbage!! What a huge waste! I'm glad you were able to save it.
Thank you for watching Phoebe!
Hi sweetie I am really enjoyed watching this video on UA-cam channel and all your free stuff are so gorgeous and very nice and enjoy your day and God bless
whoa you scored good and yes that little silver hook is a crochet hook for doily making with size 10 crochet threads and just because your kids are growing up does not mean they still can't find a use for all that crafty stuff lol mine are all adults now and they still like to have craft time with me and I do have a grandkids and great nieces and nephews so when they come to visit I have some crafts for them to do have fun with it all
Will do Nicole, thanks for watching!
That's insane!! Wow, first video and I had to subscribe, although I don't think i'll be able to do it, but it's very interesting to watch
Yaima Martinez First things first...WELCOME to my channel I appreciate you watching. I've been doing it a little over a year now and you wouldn't believe the stuff I find brand new, unused still in the original package. Again WELCOME!
It’s sad to think that such fun stuff ends up in a landfill, slowly destroying the planet! Wonderful video!
Agree Penny.
I'm glad I found you. You have a positive attitude about everything you find. Your voice is not squeaky high like some who think they are still little girls. Thanks. You did your best to keep it short, and yet we saw everything in those bags. Thanks again.
Appreciate you watching!
You are blessed to be a blessing! I wonder if you can contact your friend to see if there's a way to send those shoes to Ghana.
ultimatecouponlady I actually have a call into her now...It has been a few years now but I am sure the graduate school she was attending my still travel to the region. That community would really make good use of all of these flip flops.
Glad you are saving this from filling the landfills. Thanks for sharing I will check out my local stores.
DixieGirl9876 I appreciate you so much for watching and understanding.
Lots of good finds. The rose-gold jewelry stuff is perfect.
TheLadyTWells Thanks for watching!
You are amazing I can't believe shops would do this its amazing what you can find in the bags
Just found a TON of fall flowers a few day ago, thanks for watching.
really enjoyed your video. your voice is very soothing. can’t believe all that was tossed in the dumpster!
Thank you and Happy Spring to you!
Its amazing that you are preventing such terrible wastefulness! Good luck to you!
Appreciate you watching so much!
Wow!! I am going 2 a back store Michael's and c what I can find! Unbelievable!!
I love your reactions on your new finds and your comments!! Keep it up!!
So many sandals!! OMG!!! And visors!! Do make a video about your fall movie evenings!! So intriguing!!!
+Tricia Contreras I haven't because it's so dark out but I'm going to try the very next one...TFW!
New subscriber . Great video. I can't believe that companies throw away things like that. If they couldn't sale it, they could at least give it to the homeless or needy. Thank you for saving those items. You go girl.
First things FIRST...WELCOME to my channel, appreciate you subbing so much!
OMG! you are too funny.😄 I can see you trying to hurry and pick up all those bags. Lol. How I wish I could have been there with you. This is the first time I see your videos and I have already hit that suscribe. God bless you. And I love your comment about Jesus and him not been on the cross anymore, I caught myself saying Amen out loud. We have a lot in common my grandaughters call me "Tata fix it". Please keep them coming!
Maria Alvarez First things FIRST...WELCOME to my channel and isn't it good to know the Lord. Girl I know that I'm of video somewhere picking up those bags as fast as I can...and YES I could have used your help (smile). Thanks again Maria for subbing and watching!
I love how you spent 40$ on hundreds of dollars worth of stuff it proves that the items are still valuable
Great Finds !! Fun Stuff !! (smile) No shame in your game !! Wow !!
Deborah Esque I know right?! Thinking about how many trips I have made to this store to BUY stickers, crafts and stuff for the girls and their classroom. When all I had to do was go to the back of the store and get it for free. Thanks Deb!
Where do you sell items? Thanks. Good job on your haul. 4 years ago? I wonder if they still throw stuff away?
Its been forever since I found like this but yes they still throw away perfectly good useable merchandise. TFW!
@@FRUGALNISTA wow thanks! I need to start checking the trash cans. I don't know if it's legal in MI though? It should be legal anywhere. Its going to a landfeild. Thank you again!
OMG i could watch a MILLION OF THESE please make more if you find more ;P
Emma Huffman So happy that you like watching I love sharing with you guys. Thanks!
Cling stamps?!! AHHHH! (the acrylic block is used with the stamps BTW). Those sold out at our store, I can't believe this store had so many left over that they threw them away without even clearancing them!! You lucky lady! Those piggies are cute too! I would have paid $2 for one (not $12.99 though, LOL!) if our store had any left... maybe they threw them out too? I can't believe how much stuff stores throw away... so wasteful... I am glad you found it and know someone will find a good use for it all with your help. Thanks for sharing! :)
Crafty Math-Chick yeah $12.99 that little piggy would have stayed where he was (smile). Thanks for watching!
I would think a school could use some of the craft items, budgets being what they are for schools. Good work.
Barb Seibert I'm a teacher's kid and YES to schools needing items like these Bard. TFW!
Okay the thought that they couldn't donate this to a women's shelter. .. ugh! You go girl!
HelpMamaRemote Isn't it insane?! Thanks for watching!
Well done! Iappreciate the fact that we don’t have to watch you going through the dumpsters. Just showing us the stuff you found is so much more interesting.
geekelly000 love this comment, there are some who ONLY want to see me loading the car with this stuff and it’s exhausting🥵TFW!
Hi, that was so great. Seeing all that you got makes me wish I had a car.
I subscribed because your haul was just that good and I can't wait to see what you get next.
Thumbs Up
Carrie
WOO HOO and WELCOME Carrie!!! Appreciate you watching and subscribing to my channel!
You hit the mother load! What a deal and it was free!! Big hugs xoxo
Desire unDeaD thanks so much for watching and sending a big FREE hug back!
Hi when do they do this grab bag? I am in Michaels often and have never ran into this. You may have told us in the video but I miss it if so. Thank you for your time. I need to save money, I blow so much on dumb stuff when I am bored or depressed. Thank you sharing.
Annie each Michaels is different some penny out items and some do the bags.
thank you
I just asked my Michaels and they said they do it after holidays and would do one soon since Valentine's Day is over.
You can make really cute spring/summer wreaths with the flip flops.
Agree Darla!
I like how you are so thankful for what u have 💗🤞🏽
Awww appreciate you watching!
If you think that waste is bad, you should see what grocery stores waste. My husband works at a truck shop inside of a certain big box retailers distribution center (W******). If they drop a case of food on the floor, it gets thrown out. They just had a refrigerated truck that was rejected by a store for not meeting temp (by 2 degrees), so they brought it back to the shop and they were "supposed" to dispose of everything in the trailer. My husband brought home 2 carloads of food and we filled both of our giant freezers and gave a lot away.
I believe it...food pantry with no food but the dumpsters are jam pack with stuff🤔nuts!
Great find (laugh out loud) love the scary frog😂👍🏾☺️
+Terissa Taylor Girl one of my biggest fears is "finding" something that use to be "alive"...omygoodness that thing really made me jump (smile). Appreciate you watching!
+FRUGALNISTA yes you have won a new subscriber and I'm looking at your ultra hail part one as we speak!! But yes lord I'm very very scared of frog!!!! Great job look me up on Facebook or Twitter if you have questions about makeup or nerdy things you find and may have questions keep being GREAT!!
just subscribed great find sad how they throw so much useful stuff love your idea of finding free stuff
Welcome to my channel I appreciate you subbing!
if you put your iron on the lowest setting sometimes you can get paper to go flat again if it was wet.
jillipepper5353 Good idea...thanks for watching!
