it is sad.. My husband is an assisstant store manager at Ollie/s his store is very orgainized and clean.. people are so rude and just make it look chaotic.. he keeps an eye out for yarn for me.. with his discount he paid 3.99 each skein of Bernat blanket Ombre yarn.. Each store is limited on yarn..
One hat wonder - my husband’s hat is The Count, mine is Grouch, oldest girl is Big Bird, next girl is Cookie Monster, 2nd boy is Elmo and baby girl is Abby Cadabby. Oldest boy didn’t want one. I love those! Wish they had Snuffy.
Loved the book's and yarn colors so bright and cheerful. But yes sadly some people our messy sadly. I am not sorry I would have straightened it up as much as possible.:-)❤. Thank you for the sharing of yarn and book's area's.:-) I can't wait to see what you make from yarn.:-)❤❤❤❤❤❤
Last time at our Ollie’s they had no yarn. I very rarely go there. Ollie’s is a buy out store so if you see it buy it cause they won’t have it again. Thanks for the tour
My Ollie's has/had those loops and threads looking things, Bernat blanket yarn, ogo's, Bernat blanket color pooling and the sesame Street, the pooling yarns were in a bin.
Mallow cups are made in Altoona, PA. Just FYI for those who remember, they also bought the recipe and make Clark bar cups. Sometimes you can go in the shop and get big bags of seconds for cheaper since they are imperfect and don’t make the cut to be wrapped and sold.
It is a mess. But they are very poorly staffed for stocking. I don't mind, it's low end clearance so I don't expect target orderly. I bought those file boxes years ago and new ones keep arriving. To me, Ollie's is like a store version of a flea market. Sometimes you find a treasure.
We went to Walmart this morning. While hubby went to hardware, I headed to yarn, lol. Only bought one skein😅. It was Red Heart Green Ombre. I NEEDED that skein. At least that's what I told hubby. He talked me out of the teal one tho.... I hid it. It was the last one. Little does he know tmrw is girls day out with my daughter. I am coming home with that Teal skein!!😅😅
spotted the bag of Milky Way in the sweeties aisle and Milky Way in my country is blue!(uk) it’s always interesting to see products in the USA and how they differ
Good morning. You can find some good deals at Ollies, but what they have is what they have.If you don't get all you need then you might not find it again.
I had to sort yarn at my thrift store because a skein I wanted was all tangled up ! 😂 Was worth it got enough cashmere yarn to make fingerless mitts and a mohair skein for cuffs 😊! Boogie yarn for 99 cents a skein !
So many people are just too rude and make such a mess. The yellow was Bert ! Boyer Candies is here in my hometown !!! If you decide to come this way...let me know ahead of time & I will meet you guys !!! 😉
That is such a great idea. I bought a bunch of it at an Ollie's last year and it's still sitting on the shelf because I didn't necessarily like the specific colour combinations. Now I have some ideas as to what I can do, THANKS Mariajernigan5876
I have several Ollie's around here but I rarely go in. I should go in more! If nothing else, for the books. Do you have any local yarn shops near you? I'd love to see any of them. You would love it here in Cincinnati...we have tons! My go to is Lambikin's Hideaway. Beautiful yarns and the ladies who work there are wonderful and so nice!
Hi Glenda and Cody! That yarn department looked like a tornado went through! Its a shame that it isn't more organized. I love Mallow Cups!! I went to Ollies the last time I was in the states and they have so much stuff you just don't see anywhere else. I like the recipe boxes you showed us. That is an awesome gift especially for any young person just moving out on their own.
Hi Glenda & Cody. Thanks for taking us along on today's search for bargains at Ollie's. I would have loved to search thru the books section if this store was located where I live. I was not impressed w/ the yarn section offerings. ❤️
Yeah. Same at all Ollie’s. I got 2 Ogo. Can make at least 2 beanies/hats per circle. I never quite know quite what to think about those loopy poodle yarns. 😂😂
Hello Glenda and Cody. Thanks for showing us another store. They don’t have those over here in California, but doesn’t look like I’m missing much. I’m 45-Hr. From yarn stores. So I ordered 99% of my yarn 🧶 online.😊 of course Premier being my Favorite 😊 Have a good day❤
I was able to get a clearance deal on an assortment bag of 3 different cup candies from the Mallo-Cup people (the butterscotch peanut butter cups were my favorite) the last time I was at Ollie's. Yum!
Hi Glenda & Cody that bunny basket you were looking at yarnspirations actually has a free pattern to make a really cute bunny basket. I actually printed the pattern out. Check it out it’s super cute. ❤❤gayle I’m in FL - we don’t have an Ollie’s here 🙁. Thanks for another great informative video❤❤
It is really true that what they have varies by store. I buy that O'go blanket yarn all the time for donation projects. I cut the colors apart and make my own color coordination. They recently got some of the skein blanket yarn in. Got blue/green and bright yellow. I was surprised that they had lion brand cakes of ombre yarn in blues and purples. None of the kids sesame hats left. Lots of those loopy yarn, not really moving. You just have to keep checking back.
Good morning thank you for the idea of the love with these Sesame Street character. I have some of those that I’ve had for several years. Not sure what to do with them. I didn’t wanna make a cap. We don’t have an Ollie in our area, but thank you for sharing.
My local Ollie's (Aurora, IL) is also still flogging the Bernat Blanket O'Go from a year ago. They long since ran out of the Lion Brand/Sesame Street hat kits, but just recently introduced the pre-looped finger knitting yarn (not my thing). I should be able to visit the Ollie's in Champaign, IL at the end of this month, and hopefully they'll have a better selection of yarn.
You can blame the customers for the Ollie's looking like that. I have a relative who is a manager at a large Ollie's store and what the employees go through because of the customers is a shame. No matter how many times the employees fix the aisles and the end caps, you will have a customer come and destroy it. I do know of a yarn haul they will be getting, but I will not mention the big name. Remember Ollie's is a bargain outlet store.
I've never been to or seen an Ollie's store. I'm with you, I'd feel like I had to straighten the yarn, messy yarn makes me CrAzY, so sad. Thanks for the tour though.
My Ollie's never have much yarn either. It's a 30 minute drive to get there. I haven't been to mine in a long time. You both have a wonderful day together. 🙏💜🫂🧶
We only have a small shop left to get wool. In our local town. Used to go to Shaws the drapers, but they closed down. So its either The crafy Cwtch( the small shop), or from online. Cwtch is Welsh for cuddle 🙂
It’s sad how people destroy balls of yarn in stores. We don’t have Ollie’s in Utah but I’ve been in stores that the yarn looks like this. Good to see there were some good prices on yarns that were in good shapes. Too bad the yarn section isn’t as organized the book section. I would love to go through the books. Books, yarn, and fabric are my addictions.
I used my very last Ogo from an Ollie’s score last yr. It was 3.99 then. I have been making scarves for NC with it. If someone can tell me near St C Oh , Marietta, OH or Parkersburg WV I will go scoop it up. It makes a warm scarf.
I bought 4 O’Go skeins about a year ago when Ollie’s had them here. Haven’t done a thing with them yet….😳. But it’s like a treasure hunt whenever you go. You never know what you might find…., ❤-Brenda
Good morning thank you for the idea of the love with these Sesame Street character. I have some of those that I’ve had for several years. Not sure what to do with them. I didn’t wanna make a cap. We don’t have an Ollie in our area, but thank you for sharing. And do you have a pattern for a lovey like that?
I shop at the Ollie’s store in Wooster, Ohio. It is very organized and clean. I bought a bunch of the Lion brand loopy yarn. However, the ones that have a pattern such as stars and peace signs and etc are horrible to loop as each color for the pattern has been cut and tied. It is extremely lumpy and will not lay flat. Do not waste your money on the patterned skeins. The others ones without patterns were much better. Love your videos!
Before Christmas, at my local Ollie's in Washington, PA,I picked up a couple of granny square craft kits to put it in the Toys for Tots box. The kits had yarn and hooks and a book. I thought they were nice. The yarn section was the same as yours. Sad. I went to Ollie's in Myrtle Beach a few days ago and same with the yarn section. Weird yarn and a total mess.
I dont have Olie's by me. The loops were a little tricky at first but I got the hang of it. One ball doesnt make a big piece though. Id buy 6 to make anything with.
I love Mallow Cups and just above it is Smoothie. I like to eat them together. We have them here in NE TN stores. Boyer Candy. I loved their commercials as a kid back in the 60's and 70's.
Those graphs in the knitting book work for crochet, too. Well worth buying that book if you crochet designs into your work using graphs. I love the yarn there today except the Sesame Street one. Those OGOs with the blanket yarn are perfect for making a big squishy sweater in beautiful blocky designs. The Bernat website has a bunch of new patterns for the blanket yarn as they just came out with Patchwork Blanket Yarn. That is an excellent price for the blanket yarn. I'm getting more interested in the loopy yarn as I have seen more and more cute things made from it. Great price at Ollies. I want to go get more at Ollies but I haven't finished working through the last ones I stocked up on. 😂 I bought several of each of the various colors so I can separate out the colors and mix and match with I think 12 different colors. Fun to see, even if it isnt things you particularly like.
Good morning Glenda and Cody it was nice watching you go through Ollie’s. I don’t believe that we have one here in New Hampshire. And you ended it on a great note not to offend but at your age if you’ve got a sweet tooth I’m saying go for it lady. Enjoy yourself. Love all your videos no matter where you are. Have a wonderful day.❤
I wish we had an Ollie's nearby. Did you see how much the O-Go yarn was?=no lol don't tell me bc I will wish I could have gotten some 🤣! I love the ones I've used. I made a friend a hat & scarf with it.
Thanks that was my question. I guess I should have read thru ALL the comments. That is a great price. I wish I knew if the Ollie's 45 minutes from me had any.@@Alicia_1970
it is sad.. My husband is an assisstant store manager at Ollie/s his store is very orgainized and clean.. people are so rude and just make it look chaotic.. he keeps an eye out for yarn for me.. with his discount he paid 3.99 each skein of Bernat blanket Ombre yarn.. Each store is limited on yarn..
That. Is. Horrific! I want to jump through the innernets and FIX THAT MESS 🤣
Loved seeing the Candy aisle! 😉❤❤
One hat wonder - my husband’s hat is The Count, mine is Grouch, oldest girl is Big Bird, next girl is Cookie Monster, 2nd boy is Elmo and baby girl is Abby Cadabby. Oldest boy didn’t want one. I love those! Wish they had Snuffy.
Where you able to get the character to stand up on the top of the hat?
Good morning Glenda and Cody..I have the same in mine
Loved the book's and yarn colors so bright and cheerful. But yes sadly some people our messy sadly. I am not sorry I would have straightened it up as much as possible.:-)❤. Thank you for the sharing of yarn and book's area's.:-) I can't wait to see what you make from yarn.:-)❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don’t know why people do that. It’s everywhere and in so many departments in a store. I guess it’s the times we’re in.
That's a pretty big yarn section. Thanks for sharing!
Ollie's. didn't have very much But maybe later Thank you for sharing God.Bless you guys VA. ♥️👑➕️🙏
Last time at our Ollie’s they had no yarn. I very rarely go there. Ollie’s is a buy out store so if you see it buy it cause they won’t have it again. Thanks for the tour

those knitting graphs can be crochet easy enough
I love shopping at Ollie's, a surprise everytime I go.
Glenda, I love your idea of using the sesame Street hat kit to make lovies with them. 👍🏻👍🏻 Thank you so much for sharing your idea. 💜
So true. We dont have an Ollies here. Wish we did. Thankyou for the review.
We went to Walmart this morning. While hubby went to hardware, I headed to yarn, lol. Only bought one skein😅. It was Red Heart Green Ombre. I NEEDED that skein. At least that's what I told hubby. He talked me out of the teal one tho.... I hid it. It was the last one. Little does he know tmrw is girls day out with my daughter. I am coming home with that Teal skein!!😅😅
We just lost our Big Lots store.but.... I heard it's gonna be an Ollie's. Can't wait to see
spotted the bag of Milky Way in the sweeties aisle and Milky Way in my country is blue!(uk) it’s always interesting to see products in the USA and how they differ
Good morning. You can find some good deals at Ollies, but what they have is what they have.If you don't get all you need then you might not find it again.
I love Malo Cups too.
Our Ollie’s is a real hit or Miss with yarn.
Ooh! I want the knitting book! 😂
Will sort for free yarn 😂. I once reorganized the yarn section at Walmart because it made me mad. People thought I was effing nutz.
I had to sort yarn at my thrift store because a skein I wanted was all tangled up ! 😂 Was worth it got enough cashmere yarn to make fingerless mitts and a mohair skein for cuffs 😊! Boogie yarn for 99 cents a skein !
So many people are just too rude and make such a mess. The yellow was Bert ! Boyer Candies is here in my hometown !!! If you decide to come this way...let me know ahead of time & I will meet you guys !!! 😉
Me too please 🎉😂
Sorry for you loss of yarn shop. Thanks for all your videos. Sending prayers love and hugs
I bought o’go yarn and separated the colors and made yarn balls to use as separate yarn or use the colors I want together.
That is such a great idea. I bought a bunch of it at an Ollie's last year and it's still sitting on the shelf because I didn't necessarily like the specific colour combinations. Now I have some ideas as to what I can do, THANKS Mariajernigan5876
Hi Glenda and Cody 🌞 thanks for the shopping trip 🩷
Our Ollie's never has good yarn here.. Y'all have fun in Ollie's....❤
That’s what the Joann’s in Lexington, KY looks like. Total chaos! Too bad your Ollie’s is going that route of bad housekeeping.
I love mellow cups. The yarn dept was a mess.
Oh Elmo, I would’ve brought all of those home lol
Thanks for the Ollie tour. I love that place. Glenda, you shop like I do! Always hit the candy aisle and shop for Christmas gifts all year long 😂 !
Hi to both of u,I have bought yarn at Ollie's, last month I went and it looks like what u showed,have a nice day

I’m in FL - we don’t have an Ollie’s here 🙁. Thanks for another great informative video❤❤
Tgat blue and white off the hook dies create a star. There's ine with pink, maybe red, that makes a heart

No Ollie's around our area. Wow, that's a NICE book section!!
Thanks for the tour.

Ooh mallow cups are my favorite. I'll have to check out my Ollies for any yarn deals.
Our Ollie’s only has 2 end caps.
That was a mess. Great deal on books.
Cat basket to hold yarn 😊
I never see these at my Ollie's

Oooo!! Did I hear you say “yarn haul”??? Can you give any hints?? 😊
@@emma-woodhouse-721Keep an eye out in their circulars 😊
The Ollies near me looks as if someone came in and had a food fight in the store.
Good morning, Glenda, Cody, and everyone all who are watching.
I had never heard of Ollie's until you talked about them. We don't them in my area in Missouri. Looks like a good store to dig around in!
I've never been to or seen an Ollie's store. I'm with you, I'd feel like I had to straighten the yarn, messy yarn makes me CrAzY, so sad.
Thanks for the tour though.
Meanwhile, in Canada…no Ollie’s, no Joann, no Hobby Lobby. 😔
I know right. Walmart and Michaels and those are even empty of yarn.
The loop yarn is easy to work with
Holy cow! What a mess!
Thank you. I think I'll stop by my local store on my way home.
Hey it was cool to see the Ollies.
That’s Bert 😆
I couldn’t sleep so here I am.
I’ve never seen this store before
My Ollie's never have much yarn either. It's a 30 minute drive to get there. I haven't been to mine in a long time. You both have a wonderful day together. 🙏💜🫂🧶

Christmas shop all year long! I am with 'ya! 🛍 🌞
Ollie's has it all...corn dogs, crabs, and Bart the Muppet! 😉
I always forget about ollies. Now I want to go to one lol.
It’s sad how people destroy balls of yarn in stores. We don’t have Ollie’s in Utah but I’ve been in stores that the yarn looks like this.

Get an Ollie’s card you can get 10 to 15 percent off
Hi. We don't gave Ollie's here in Connecticut. I would like it just for the books!
The Ollie’s I go to just had the loopy yarn. I passed on that.
My Ollie's only has a few items of candies. I'd love yours. Candies freeze well. Yes, Cody I love candy corn . Sad yarn section 😢 😞
New Ollie’s near me in Illinois but no yarn. I walked the store and asked others. None! Darn.
I used my very last Ogo from an Ollie’s score last yr. It was 3.99 then. I have been making scarves for NC with it. If someone can tell me near St C Oh , Marietta, OH or Parkersburg WV I will go scoop it up. It makes a warm scarf.

We are getting an Ollies soon ! It will be good to look for books
Regular candy corn mixed with roasted peanuts are DELICIOUS!!

You got more yarn than my ollies in Utica NY I found 5 skeins of the ogos yarn in blues
Good morning Glenda and Cody it was nice watching you go through Ollie’s. I don’t believe that we have one here in New Hampshire. And you ended it on a great note not to offend but at your age if you’ve got a sweet tooth I’m saying go for it lady. Enjoy yourself. Love all your videos no matter where you are.

ernie is the orange roommate lol
I wish we had an Ollie's nearby. Did you see how much the O-Go yarn was?=no lol don't tell me bc I will wish I could have gotten some 🤣! I love the ones I've used. I made a friend a hat & scarf with it.
How much were the One Hat Wonders? Thank you
It said 2.99. I zoomed in because I wanted to know too lol
Thanks that was my question. I guess I should have read thru ALL the comments. That is a great price. I wish I knew if the Ollie's 45 minutes from me had any.@@Alicia_1970
