Hello Sarah, I agree, thrift stores are getting crazy with their prices. I try to find most of my books at Goodwill vs Savers because all books are priced at $2.99 for hardcover and $1.99 for softcover (adult books) with children’s books being $1.49 and $.99. I shop there on Wednesdays and get a discount of 25% for my age (55+). I like the smile on your face when you talk about Cooper and we hear him having fun in the background. You’re a good mom! 😊 Thanks for sharing your days with us and showing us your finds for your home.
Hey Sarah I agree about the prices but if we want the goods I guess we have no choice!!!LOL!!!!When you decorate with them you will be glad you got them!!!!!!!!😁❤👍
I think more people are Thrifting and these places are taking advantage. Even the Dollar Tree stores are raising their prices. Nothing is a dollar anymore.
You are right Sarah, the thrift stores are getting gready due to the popularity of thrifting. When in the past it was almost embarrassing now people love to show off their good deals.
I totally agree with you. I have found that it depends on the area you go to when it comes to the Goodwills. There are 3 that I go to and find really great cheap deals. However, I have also been to some that are way too high and the prices are ridiculous. A lot of hometown stores in your city or town encourage people to shop local but when you can buy items a lot cheaper elsewhere, it pushes you to go outside of your area to shop. I have actually found a love for shopping (thrifting) on Poshmark. You can usually find what you’re looking for and you can negotiate the price. Also save on gas lol.
Thrift stores in my area are not bad...Goodwill's in 25 mile area have 99 cent days on Monday thru Wednesday..I got a $30 blouse tag still on it for 99 cents and a set of Homer Laughlin stoneware plus set of sheets with cats over them and a beautiful pillow for 99 cents...I made out good. I love old books too. Take care.
I go sometimes to a tiny thrift store, went there today on my way from work, always find really old books very cheap, some little brass frames for 1.50. Even an old typewriter which i really wanted but it was too heavy to carry on the bus. But stores like value village are too expensive now.
I’m with you on thrift stores. I’m like you guys get this stuff for free and you’re charging outrageous prices. Sometimes I’ll get lucky but it’s getting harder and harder.
Hey Sarah ❤what Blessings to feel the joy when our children are so entertained in play loving your channel always Blessings always to you and the family 🙏🥰
Sarah, Over here in the UK, charity shops (what we call thrift stores) prices are constantly on the rise. It’s interesting, as it must be a world wide thing? K
I completely agree with you. Thrift store prices are outrageous and very pricey. I’ve seen dollar tree glasses, cups etc overpriced. Saucers and plate anywhere between $3-$5 each. I try and wait til half off days to shop and hope that what I am looking for is still there.
I have a church based thrift store that I do great at. Goodwill is outrageously expensive these days. Garage sale season is upon us in Ohio. It is a definite treasure hunt, but a couple times a year I hit gold.
You can honestly find better deals for what you're actually getting at antique stores at this point. If I'm going to pay $5 for something that will work but isn't my absolute favorite from the thrift, I'd rather pay $10 for the perfect thing at the antique store.
I’m in Ontario and the prices are crazy here too. I’m wondering if all the up cycling and thrift flipping has raised the prices. It’s tough for those of us who need to buy there
Like you I am shocked and affected by the high prices. But think about this no one wants to actually work. Not dissing anyone but everyone will rather be have their own schedule make their money on social media. So all employers including thrift stores, and Goodwill are ALL have to pay much higher wage- state governments to pay people who are willing to work there, cost of increased utilities, supply costs all have increased minimum wage, RESULT the consumer has to bear that. So if you think some really crazy minimum wages going up will not affect us all then you are not thinking this through correctly. Im just speaking truth of what is going on. So instead of complaining my choice is to NOT purchase anything not needed. Long lines and Autism might spell disaster Im afraid at Disney. Be prepared for increased prices in CA. Cannot afford to live there.
You're right, Sarah! It's ridiculous the prices they are charging at Thrift stores! I don't even go anymore! Goodwill is more expensive than a lot of retail stores! Shame on them! I don't even donate to them anymore. I call a church or a women's crisis center, someone that can use the items and are in need! Thanks for your input! 🤍👍

Our Goodwill here in Stuart, Florida is getting ridiculous too. I go to the local charity thrift stores.

Value village is awful here lol oh the typewriter would have been so good that’s too bad :(

Yes agreed it definitely makes it more tough ❤

It makes me mad, because places like goodwill get their stuff free so everything they make is pure profit. so give us a break🤔
Agreed!

Yes definitely way better to donate to places like that! Thanks so much for watching ❤
