Lol you just blew my mind Laura! That photography book was wrote by my Mom's boss, Ted Schwarz. lol She typed that book! He is a really great photographer and really nice guy. I was almost on the cover of that book but I was too shy. haha. Anyway, that reminded me of my mom, and when I texted my sister, she couldn't believe it and said she still has that book. Ted was on the Geraldo show and also wrote the book "The Hillside Strangler" about Ken Bianchi. He actually dedicated a book he wrote about adoption to my mom and dad.
I used to be the costume designer for a truly fabulous K-12 public school drama department. I was gathering materials for "Sweet Charity". At the Seattle bins I found someone's whole wardrobe of original handmade hippie clothes from the 1960's which worked very well for the Big Daddy scene and saved me hours of work!!! Another great episode. Thank you Laura!
We love the bins! We have found signed books, art worth $400.00. many pieces of furniture, but my favorite find is my designer leather purse that was worth 360.00. I'm a purse hoarder and have spent hundreds on purses and yet this is the one I continue to carry. And I'm proud to say I Got it at the bins!
I wish that Goodwill bins would open up as a benefit and Goodwill for the folks who've lost EVERYTHING in the hurricanes, and any number of disasters that have befallen our people.
I think that's an excellent idea! I'm a Carolina girl. I am from the NC mountains. I have lived in Asheville a couple of times, and in several other towns in the area. I was born about 45 minutes away, in Sylva. My heart is broken for our people, animals, and the beautiful land. So much help will be needed for many years to come. My family reunion is next weekend in Hendersonville, at my cousin's. He insisted on still having it. I can't go this year, but most of the family is going, and taking donations that they have gathered. My cousin says sleeping bags are needed. Kids need toys. I'm sure winter coats are also needed. I've heard that a lot of clothing has been sent, but it's a lot of overly worn things. If anyone feels so inclined, please help. Let's not forget those in Florida too. Thank you for bringing it up, and thinking of them.
So sorry for your family, Debbie. i'm a Carolina girl, too, now in Coastal SC. Several trucks have gone to the Mtns. from here loaded with items. I pray those suffering received what they needed. Cat
You're so blessed have a such a nice companiable man to go with you, who doesn't argue or rush you and who likes to discuss and laugh about your finds. Every day would be a good day with someone like that. 🥰
I've been clearing my house as my ex husband is a hoarder (unfortunately not antiques, just broken junk that he was going to fix). But the amount of good stuff I see being discarded is just heartbreaking.
I love the bins! I have found so many valuable things. I found a tie that I just sold for $170, I found a sterling silver bracelet that I sold for $105. I found a pair of vintage Doc Martens that I sold for $400. And I don’t rush their stuff. If it’s meant for me I will find it.
Another tip at the bins... dig to the bottom. A lot of people rifle through clothes or things on top and miss the true treasures on the bottom! Smaller items fall to the bottom, heavier items fall to the bottom. I've found all my best finds when I have dug to the bottom.
I have a large bowl of the Mount St Helens ashware. I picked it up at a thrift store because I remember when it erupted growing up in southern Oregon I'm hoping you will make it collectible again😅
Back in the 80s my friend and i did digging at a Goodwill in Portland by SE Hawthorn Blvd. You dug in a small building and then walked across the street to the retail store. It was 3 stories with a cafeteria. We always wore gloves. My adult girls still laugh about how their Mom took them digging before it became popular. Lol
I love that you still go dig through the bins even with all your success. It's really cool to think that you're saving stuff from going to a landfill. I have always loved and shopped vintage, but your videos have really inspired me to try to buy anything I can secondhand if possible.
My granddaughter Rose has been to the bins with me and her favorite finds have been Squishmallows. When we get home they always get the spa treatment before they move into her room. Thank you for going to the bins and sharing it with me.
I’m from Southern Oregon but had to travel to Salem a week or so back. That would have been amazing to see you there! I walked in and immediately found a Frank & Eileen Rory dress that someone must have thrown back. It had a chewed up hem but I didn’t care! I was not leaving it! It was a bolo of mine forever! Got it home and looked it up. Turns out the distressing was factory done! Woo hoo! That dress is on their website for 398.00! When you made your traveling and thrifting south video you hit up one of my favorite little spots to thrift in Medford! You scored there too!! 😊❤
I learned that most Goodwill stores try to sell brand names and stuff with tags at a higher price. If no one buys them, they send them to the bins. That's why you can find really awesome deals in the bins on expensive brands. I love visiting the bins!
Another Aussie here. We don’t have bins in Australia so it was really interesting to see how the system works. Hard work but some amazing finds to be had. Thank you 🙏🏼
Saturday morning, cup of coffee, and a thrifting video. Great fun. I got a god laugh around 26:45 because the "How to Start a Professional Photography Business" book that didn't appear to contain a single photograph.
favorite bins find...a late 1800s early 1900 double pedestal butterfly leaf parlor or dining room table..and the leaves work..stuffed in a corner behind the raggedy couches for $5.99!..
My favorite find ever was at the Milwaukie bins you visited (OR, not WI 😊) - a beautiful silk covered box. The weirdest find was at the same one- my friend and I walked to a bin and there was a baby happily sitting there amidst all the items. The mom was at the next bin and just decided to set the baby down. 😬 It’s a wild place but I always have fun - just don’t leave your baby in the piles
Just flew to Denver to shop the bins with my sister from Grand Junction. We wanted to have our first trip together. Found an amazing Italian cashmere woolen coat and much more. I'm converted. New rule, can't go until everything is listed from last trip! 😊
This bin video is fantastic. I have never seen bins before. We live in a small city in Canada and have nothing like this. Such a wonderful way to find great items. You have a good eye too.
I love “book shoppin” at the bins. Have to set a limit before going in. I few handmade quilts and afghans. Jessie and Laura. Thank you for always encouraging others to support small businesses, do what you can for the environment, and sharing your time and knowledge with us.
Thank you so much for this video! I have been wanting to tackle the bins but had no idea how it works and was allowing myself to get overwhelmed just thinking about it!
Just to get the feel for the bins, try going at an off time. Saturdays are super busy, and chaotic I like Sunday afternoon. If you get a chance to watch, there is a channel on YT, and she has ranked the GW bins (across the country) she has been to.
Watching this made me realise what a fussy princess I have become LOL Back in my 20s I would've looovvvved to go to the bins (Australian, we don't have them) - I went dumpster diving, tip larking, salvage yards... now my idea of roughing it is a local thrift where there's a table out in the rain. People who'll do the bins like this are the front line of vintage rescue and I have nothin' but respect for you all! I'll be waiting in the antique mall hahaha ❤
I also bring face/hand wipes and something to drink. My best find at the bins was a stunning Christmas red opera swing coat from the 1940's in mint condition. I sold it for $198.
The best thing I ever found was an old enamelware Bell Telephone sign. It has the emblem on it and it has the name Bell on it, and it has the edge where it was hung onto side of the telephone booth. It was at the Salem bins! I haven’t been up there in a little while because I live in the Eugene area, but I need to go up there again. I usually find quite a few things!
The gold bar you thought was a towel rod is an under cabinet mounted wine glass holder. You put the base in through the wide end like Jessie said and they hang upside down.
We’ve missed you. My last trip to the bins I found a pair of solid brass planters with nautical shell handles. Found the exact item sold for $225. And I found two of them 🤩😍
Great video as always. My favourite find at the bins was a pair of genuine Valentino lace up black ankle boots in my size. They retail for about $1600 USD. That was a good day!
I love the bins! I never go there without gloves. Even when I go very late in the day and it’s picked over, I always find something great. Mine auctions the furniture in and adjoining but separate room starting at very low prices. Overall ours is small. I didn’t know about a certain amount pushing the price down, I just know it’s always a great deal whatever I get including some nice boots from time to time. Every bins video I have ever seen and at my bins in VA you have to stand behind the yellow line until all the bins are placed. I think that might be nationwide. I have never been at the opening time, I don’t believe. I will go one Saturday but I’m not a morning person.
I think I should grab my friends for us to drive to your area to "jump dive" into those bins...so many useful and wearable items to choose from.Thanks Laura and Jesse for taking your viewers along with you shop "The Bins"👍😊🌹❤
That vintage colander is cool... I once saw a theatre in Chicago use them as light fixtures, they put two together to make a sphere, and the light patterns were so cool. They also had them as sconces. I always thought I would try to do that if I ever had an outdoor space that would suit it.
You were missed, but know you had a wonderful time. I'm so glad you and Jesse took us to the bins. I've never seen them, don't think we have them here in NMB, SC. Love the things you found. After being flooded out by Matthew in 2017, my Church friend gave me clothes and shoes. Then I learned to shop at the Salvation Army, and then Goodwill. I added Church Rummage Sales, and continue to shop them all today although no longer in need. Looking forward to your next Friday sale. Blessings, Cat
I love shopping at the bins. The outlet near me is kinda small, but it’s given me the opportunity to get familiar with some of the regulars and the employees that work there. If the ladies that work there like you, you’re almost guaranteed to get some “extra special” deals oversized things like furniture. 😉
I would find the bins too overwhelming I'm afraid. You found some great items. Here in Western NC, some of the thrift stores are giving away the winter clothes and housewares for people in need after Storm Helene. People have really come together and the donations have been massive.
You can put fabric items in a black trash bag and seal or tie it and leave it in your car with the windows up (especially in the summer) and the heat will kill any bug, especially bed bugs.
Amazing video as always! The mexican pottery is actually pronounced Tonalá, with the accent at the end. It’s made in the town by the same name in the state of Jalisco, which is renowned for their artisans in several different kinds of mediums.
I love my bins. I quit going to regular Goodwills, it was just easier to go once a week to the bins. Tips are to be patient and don’t just look at the pieces on top. Ignore the rude people. My best finds are a vintage deck of Tarot cards, many pieces of good jewelry, a piece of Erik Hoglund glass. At least once a month I find pieces that sell for around $100.
Fantastic scores! This was so much fun to watch. Loved the watercolour you found at the end and that beautiful birch bowl. I can't believe the beautiful pieces of furniture you scored in the past. Finally, I really look forward to seeing you wearing that gorgeous free people dress. ❤❤
I absolutely love the bins. My 10 year old daughter also loves digging at the bines. I just went to our bins 2 weeks ago. You definitely need to be patient but its worth it.
Around 40:20 you picked a metal plate stand. You should have bought it. I think I saw two. They are the best stands to hold large platters for decorative display. I really enjoyed this video!
If you went to your local markets, you might be able to ask someone who makes pottery to make you a small colander and in the colour/ pattern of your choice? 😊
I have found a beautiful baccarat angel in perfect condition. I always wondered how it survived the bins. I also look at alot of books and sometimes look inside for an author signed book. Those are very fun to find. I always enjoy shopping at the bins.
It's funny I was just at the bins before the airing of this episode. I spent $10. Our bins don't have nearly the amount of hard goods and most are not breakable due to potential liability. But I found 2 feather pillows, a hand made dashaki shirt - in amazing condition and a Tanzanian hand woven tribal basket plus a stuffed animal for my dog, a handwoven blue wool heart rug and a nice faux floral swag. Your bins are amazing!! You did fantastic!!! Blessings!
I once found an antique limoges oyster plate - just sitting in a hard goods bin- no chips no cracks $300 later Cha Ching !!! Here in NJ its $159 per lb. Thanks. Great video
I have that same tree of life hanging as a door curtain, I paid £2 at a car boot sale. I received the love of horses book as a Christmas present back in the 80s and I really want that hat with the swirly decoration.
I found a cool wool El Paso saddle blanket, twin size, gorgeous colors! Vintage Ralph Lauren Saturday jeans, full PB kids sheet set, PB duvet with shams!
We don’t have Goodwill bins or anything very similar in the UK but we do occasionally have local ‘jumble sales’ which are pretty similar. Usually run by local churches or scout groups, they collect donations and set up for a day. I went to one last week and found a large sterling silver Georg Jensen cuff bangle for 50p! (About 65 cents) That was my best find - worth about $700. Love your videos and loving this longer one - some great finds!
My friend Beth from Texas loves to find childrensbooks at the bins as a teacher. I loved the chairs and the tableleggs That blazer is a grate fit on you, Laura . Loved the dress and linnens. I m a scarfy for shure. Lovecthe Tonala turtle! As far as I know no bins in Belgium. I would go to the bins too. I would digg in the books. I love artbooks but new they are to ecpensive Grate finds x
This was a really fun one- I mean, all your videos are fun, but I love the bins!! All thrifting feels like a treasure hunt, but I feel like this is especially true of the bins. And you have such a good eye. I watch another reseller who’s in Utah and they find a lot of really great books and also quilts and afghans, or embroidered napkins like the ones you found. Thanks for your consistently great content.
@@SabrinaFox-vh7mq Yes, Jami and Zeb. The first time they came up in my RUclips feed, I realized I had been in their shop when I was visiting my sister. Their “bins” videos are what really hooked me.
My best find at the bins is a tie between my beautiful lambskin leather coat and my Ralph Lauren felt tote bag in red and black - still selling second hand over $250.
Really enjoyed this video and seeing what you found!!! I like going to the bins, but have to be careful that I don't "adopt" too much stuff. It can be difficult to see really great items that may end up in the landfill. My mantra: I am a thrifter, not a hoarder. Can't wait for the boutique finds next!!!!!
Laura!! I’m going to Paris with you and Jesse in May💕💕I can’t wait! I’m so glad you had a great time traveling but I’m happy you’re back. Looking forward to your videos and the next first Friday sale 😊
Every time a new episode comes up, I get so excited! You are my favorite RUclipsr lately. I am surprised you didn’t find more at the Salem bins, it’s my favorite! Another great episode.
I love going to the bins. Silk scarves are my go to, since it is like getting them for free. And no gloves so I can feel texture, looking for cashmere, silk, and linen.
My favorite thing to find at the bins are purses or train cases. I had been looking for a plaid train case for years, lo and behold tjere it was at the bins for 3.99! (All our luggage is 3.99 each)
I've walked in to that Hillsboro "bins" store twice now and was too intimidated to look through the bins. Watching you do it, I might be willing to try it again, maybe with gloves 😂. I was also always amazed at how busy the parking lot it all the time and now I see why.
I love finding cashmere in second hand shops… I give them to everybody I know if it doesn’t fit me…. I’m a cashmere fanatic. I sometimes find them at 2 euros per item …. 😊
Hi Laura. I’m a fellow “covers off” of books kind of person as well. When I was in high school, I worked in the public library as a page. I learned to appreciate the beauty of the bound book.
I like the way Laura stacks them with pretty titles showing, but I tend to leave the covers on for protection and show them on a stand, like the one Laura found in a bin, as you would a piece of art. I change them out from time to time so as to enjoy a variety of artists work. Thanks for reminding me I worked in the town library as a preteen learning how to clean, repair, and catalog volumes. Can't believe I'd forgotten that. Cat
Lol you just blew my mind Laura! That photography book was wrote by my Mom's boss, Ted Schwarz. lol She typed that book! He is a really great photographer and really nice guy. I was almost on the cover of that book but I was too shy. haha. Anyway, that reminded me of my mom, and when I texted my sister, she couldn't believe it and said she still has that book. Ted was on the Geraldo show and also wrote the book "The Hillside Strangler" about Ken Bianchi. He actually dedicated a book he wrote about adoption to my mom and dad.
That's amazing. What a cool insight.
I used to be the costume designer for a truly fabulous K-12 public school drama department. I was gathering materials for "Sweet Charity". At the Seattle bins I found someone's whole wardrobe of original handmade hippie clothes from the 1960's which worked very well for the Big Daddy scene and saved me hours of work!!! Another great episode. Thank you Laura!
Fellow costumer / costume designer here. I loved going to the bin store for costume materials.
We love the bins! We have found signed books, art worth $400.00. many pieces of furniture, but my favorite find is my designer leather purse that was worth 360.00. I'm a purse hoarder and have spent hundreds on purses and yet this is the one I continue to carry. And I'm proud to say I Got it at the bins!
I wish that Goodwill bins would open up as a benefit and Goodwill for the folks who've lost EVERYTHING in the hurricanes, and any number of disasters that have befallen our people.
Hmm..now that's a thought
Great thought! Sadly I think they're money hungry
I think that's an excellent idea! I'm a Carolina girl. I am from the NC mountains. I have lived in Asheville a couple of times, and in several other towns in the area. I was born about 45 minutes away, in Sylva. My heart is broken for our people, animals, and the beautiful land. So much help will be needed for many years to come. My family reunion is next weekend in Hendersonville, at my cousin's. He insisted on still having it. I can't go this year, but most of the family is going, and taking donations that they have gathered. My cousin says sleeping bags are needed. Kids need toys. I'm sure winter coats are also needed. I've heard that a lot of clothing has been sent, but it's a lot of overly worn things. If anyone feels so inclined, please help. Let's not forget those in Florida too. Thank you for bringing it up, and thinking of them.
So sorry for your family, Debbie. i'm a Carolina girl, too, now in Coastal SC. Several trucks have gone to the Mtns. from here loaded with items. I pray those suffering received what they needed. Cat
Agree 💯
There are so many people that have nothing! 😢
Goodwill should live up to it’s name and donate!!
You're so blessed have a such a nice companiable man to go with you, who doesn't argue or rush you and who likes to discuss and laugh about your finds. Every day would be a good day with someone like that. 🥰
When I ever I see all of this stuff that has been discarded, it reminds me of what a wasteful, consumer-driven society we are.
💯 It’s heartbreaking!
An what's replacing it is total garbage
Donating to charities is a thoughtful and deliberate act, not discards 😊
@@mezanian yes, a good outcome for all of these things. I’m alluding to the purchase in the first place, if you follow me.
I've been clearing my house as my ex husband is a hoarder (unfortunately not antiques, just broken junk that he was going to fix). But the amount of good stuff I see being discarded is just heartbreaking.
I love the bins! I have found so many valuable things. I found a tie that I just sold for $170, I found a sterling silver bracelet that I sold for $105. I found a pair of vintage Doc Martens that I sold for $400. And I don’t rush their stuff. If it’s meant for me I will find it.
Another tip at the bins... dig to the bottom. A lot of people rifle through clothes or things on top and miss the true treasures on the bottom! Smaller items fall to the bottom, heavier items fall to the bottom. I've found all my best finds when I have dug to the bottom.
I love your tips because he bins can be overwhelminnnggg and a bit of overload.. so the more tips the better! Alsoooooo great scoresssss! 💃💃
One man’s Sports Coat is another woman’s blazer :)
Love these videos!
Omg Laura please do more bins videos!!! This is one of my favorite video of yours ever!! 🤍🤍🤍
Yes, yes!
I have a large bowl of the Mount St Helens ashware. I picked it up at a thrift store because I remember when it erupted growing up in southern Oregon I'm hoping you will make it collectible again😅
The cedar chest is absolutely beautiful. 😊 Thanks for taking us to the bins. 😊😊. Great video.

That thing you thought was a towel rack was for wine glasses. It mounts on the underside of a cabinet and the glasses hang upside down.
Oh, that makes sense.
I was glued to this video. So many interesting things for eye candy. Please do some more bins extravaganzas in the future. Cheers.
Watching this made me want to hop in the car, and go to the bins. Then I remembered it is Saturday, and there's way to many people there on Saturdays.
I have a Lane cedar hopechest from the 70's. It is a brand I dont see anymore. It used to he sold by Levitz Home Furnishings in Ohio.
I live in Holland, sadly we don't have the bins here... Sooo wish we had... Amazing finds guys...... ❤
My granddaughter Rose has been to the bins with me and her favorite finds have been Squishmallows. When we get home they always get the spa treatment before they move into her room. Thank you for going to the bins and sharing it with me.

Thanks for sharing your thrifting adventures! My mom, sister and myself have so much fun searching for the treasures!
Thank you both for taking the time to make this video. It was really informative and entertaining!
I learned that most Goodwill stores try to sell brand names and stuff with tags at a higher price. If no one buys them, they send them to the bins. That's why you can find really awesome deals in the bins on expensive brands. I love visiting the bins!
Anything that you wash if you dry it in the sunshine, it actually gets out stains and sanitizes your sheets or clothing. It really works.❤
Another Aussie here. We don’t have bins in Australia so it was really interesting to see how the system works. Hard work but some amazing finds to be had. Thank you 🙏🏼
“ BIN there done that”…. 😅fab Bins trip ever.. thanks for sharing
Yes, Jesse’s quips and puns are awesome!!! 😂😂😂
Saturday morning, cup of coffee, and a thrifting video. Great fun. I got a god laugh around 26:45 because the "How to Start a Professional Photography Business" book that didn't appear to contain a single photograph.
favorite bins find...a late 1800s early 1900 double pedestal butterfly leaf parlor or dining room table..and the leaves work..stuffed in a corner behind the raggedy couches for $5.99!..
Wow!!! 😮

Yes, you've convinced me to give the bins a shot! I'm particularly impressed with the scarves you found ... but, really everything. What a great haul!
It's really like a treasure hunt 😀!
If you can, avoid Saturday mornings, as that is the busiest, most chaotic.
I love “book shoppin” at the bins. Have to set a limit before going in.
I few handmade quilts and afghans.
Jessie and Laura. Thank you for always encouraging others to support small businesses, do what you can for the environment, and sharing your time and knowledge with us.
That big planter is from rite aid, I have the same one! They used to make tons of souvenirs of st. Helen’s ash after it blew so that makes sense!
Thank you so much for this video! I have been wanting to tackle the bins but had no idea how it works and was allowing myself to get overwhelmed just thinking about it!

I love the bins. I have refinished many pieces of beautiful wooden furniture and sent them off to new homes... Plus kept some for myself!

Great video as always. My favourite find at the bins was a pair of genuine Valentino lace up black ankle boots in my size. They retail for about $1600 USD. That was a good day!
Welcome home!! You and Jesse were missed. Settling back to watch my favorite you tuber!!
We sure missed everyone here! So good to be home 😄
I love the bins! I never go there without gloves.
Even when I go very late in the day and it’s picked over, I always find something great. Mine auctions the furniture in and adjoining but separate room starting at very low prices. Overall ours is small.

We missed you guys, too! Welcome home! ❤🎉
That's crazy about the St. Helen's ash shell. I live in Seattle, I never knew they made things out of the ash. Wild.
They make so many things out of the ash- you should google it & see how many different things come up. People got so creative, it’s amazing!
That vintage colander is cool... I once saw a theatre in Chicago use them as light fixtures, they put two together to make a sphere, and the light patterns were so cool. They also had them as sconces. I always thought I would try to do that if I ever had an outdoor space that would suit it.

The shell dish is made out of Saint Helens ash. I thrifted a planter pot made out of the ash with the same swirled look. Great video😊
Hurray! You're back🎉
Amazing video as always! The mexican pottery is actually pronounced Tonalá, with the accent at the end. It’s made in the town by the same name in the state of Jalisco, which is renowned for their artisans in several different kinds of mediums.
Thank you so much for all of these valuable tips on how to shop at the bins. Another amazing video.❤❤
I’m not a reseller but love watching your videos. You and Jesse are so sweet and give us so much information
I found two rechargeable ginkgo lights and I looked them up. They’re 50 on eBay and 80 on Amazon. So I ordered a charging cord and they are so cool!
I love my bins. I quit going to regular Goodwills, it was just easier to go once a week to the bins. Tips are to be patient and don’t just look at the pieces on top. Ignore the rude people. My best finds are a vintage deck of Tarot cards, many pieces of good jewelry, a piece of Erik Hoglund glass. At least once a month I find pieces that sell for around $100.
Fantastic scores! This was so much fun to watch. Loved the watercolour you found at the end and that beautiful birch bowl. I can't believe the beautiful pieces of furniture you scored in the past. Finally, I really look forward to seeing you wearing that gorgeous free people dress. ❤❤
I absolutely love the bins. My 10 year old daughter also loves digging at the bines. I just went to our bins 2 weeks ago. You definitely need to be patient but its worth it.
The brass narrow rack is for wine glasses. You screw it in the ceiling of your bar and slide the glasses in upside down.
Around 40:20 you picked a metal plate stand. You should have bought it. I think I saw two. They are the best stands to hold large platters for decorative display. I really enjoyed this video!
If you went to your local markets, you might be able to ask someone who makes pottery to make you a small colander and in the colour/ pattern of your choice? 😊
I have found a beautiful baccarat angel in perfect condition. I always wondered how it survived the bins. I also look at alot of books and sometimes look inside for an author signed book. Those are very fun to find. I always enjoy shopping at the bins.
It's funny I was just at the bins before the airing of this episode. I spent $10. Our bins don't have nearly the amount of hard goods and most are not breakable due to potential liability. But I found 2 feather pillows, a hand made dashaki shirt - in amazing condition and a Tanzanian hand woven tribal basket plus a stuffed animal for my dog, a handwoven blue wool heart rug and a nice faux floral swag. Your bins are amazing!! You did fantastic!!!
Blessings!
I once found an antique limoges oyster plate - just sitting in a hard goods bin- no chips no cracks $300 later Cha Ching !!! Here in NJ its $159 per lb. Thanks. Great video
That Marion cook book is so expensive! I love her food. I wish I were there with you guys
I have that same tree of life hanging as a door curtain, I paid £2 at a car boot sale. I received the love of horses book as a Christmas present back in the 80s and I really want that hat with the swirly decoration.
You two are just adorable. Loved every second!
I think I yelled out loud noooo when you put on that blazer it’s amazing what people throw out
Have loved watching you go through the list of the Goodwill options around you.Have seen all and agree the bins would be fun to try.
I found a cool wool El Paso saddle blanket, twin size, gorgeous colors! Vintage Ralph Lauren Saturday jeans, full PB kids sheet set, PB duvet with shams!
I have a hops vine it grows so fast and is great for privacy from my neighbours kitchen window. I’m located in southwest Ontario Canada
We don’t have Goodwill bins or anything very similar in the UK but we do occasionally have local ‘jumble sales’ which are pretty similar. Usually run by local churches or scout groups, they collect donations and set up for a day. I went to one last week and found a large sterling silver Georg Jensen cuff bangle for 50p! (About 65 cents) That was my best find - worth about $700. Love your videos and loving this longer one - some great finds!
My friend Beth from Texas loves to find childrensbooks at the bins as a teacher.
I loved the chairs and the tableleggs
That blazer is a grate fit on you, Laura . Loved the dress and linnens.
I m a scarfy for shure.
Lovecthe Tonala turtle!
As far as I know no bins in Belgium.
I would go to the bins too.
I would digg in the books.
I love artbooks but new they are to ecpensive
Grate finds x
I was so happy to see you guys tonight! Had a bad day, you made it better, thank you ❤️🥰😊❤️🥰🎈
I have always loved those shell backed chairs. I would worry about bugs in appolstry, though.
This was a really fun one- I mean, all your videos are fun, but I love the bins!! All thrifting feels like a treasure hunt, but I feel like this is especially true of the bins. And you have such a good eye. I watch another reseller who’s in Utah and they find a lot of really great books and also quilts and afghans, or embroidered napkins like the ones you found. Thanks for your consistently great content.
Jami & Zeb? I love their bins videos as well.
@@SabrinaFox-vh7mq Yes, Jami and Zeb. The first time they came up in my RUclips feed, I realized I had been in their shop when I was visiting my sister. Their “bins” videos are what really hooked me.
My best find at the bins is a tie between my beautiful lambskin leather coat and my Ralph Lauren felt tote bag in red and black - still selling second hand over $250.
Love going to the bins!! Closest one is 1 1/2 away which is good otherwise I would be there everyday!!
Really enjoyed this video and seeing what you found!!! I like going to the bins, but have to be careful that I don't "adopt" too much stuff. It can be difficult to see really great items that may end up in the landfill. My mantra: I am a thrifter, not a hoarder. Can't wait for the boutique finds next!!!!!
When I include vintage cards as thank you cards, I include the envelope and write on another piece of paper, so the buyer can use the card.
I love that birch bowl!!!😍❤️❤️❤️
The Japanese patterned pants would make great pillows, placemats, napkins, etc…
Laura!! I’m going to Paris with you and Jesse in May💕💕I can’t wait! I’m so glad you had a great time traveling but I’m happy you’re back. Looking forward to your videos and the next first Friday sale 😊
Ahhh we are so excited totravel with you Amy!!!! 🎉 It’s going to be such an awesome group!! Can’t wait to meet you 😄
Every time a new episode comes up, I get so excited! You are my favorite RUclipsr lately. I am surprised you didn’t find more at the Salem bins, it’s my favorite! Another great episode.
I love going to the bins. Silk scarves are my go to, since it is like getting them for free. And no gloves so I can feel texture, looking for cashmere, silk, and linen.
My favorite thing to find at the bins are purses or train cases. I had been looking for a plaid train case for years, lo and behold tjere it was at the bins for 3.99! (All our luggage is 3.99 each)
Lots of great scarfs! And love those gold filagree frames
I'm glad to see you again! I've been to Austin's Goodwill outlet a couple of times, and I felt so sad...so much unwanted stuff. :(
I get sad when I go too! So much waste.
Love seeing your favorite furniture finds at the end ❤ so cool
I love the bins when I'm in the mood to dig. Love your video but still love the regular Goodwill and other thrift shop videos. Love you guys!!!
I've walked in to that Hillsboro "bins" store twice now and was too intimidated to look through the bins. Watching you do it, I might be willing to try it again, maybe with gloves 😂. I was also always amazed at how busy the parking lot it all the time and now I see why.
I love finding cashmere in second hand shops… I give them to everybody I know if it doesn’t fit me….
I’m a cashmere fanatic. I sometimes find them at 2 euros per item …. 😊
I love the bins! Introduced my bff to it & when she visits, we always go😊
Hi Laura. I’m a fellow “covers off” of books kind of person as well. When I was in high school, I worked in the public library as a page. I learned to appreciate the beauty of the bound book.
I like the way Laura stacks them with pretty titles showing, but I tend to leave the covers on for protection and show them on a stand, like the one Laura found in a bin, as you would a piece of art. I change them out from time to time so as to enjoy a variety of artists work. Thanks for reminding me I worked in the town library as a preteen learning how to clean, repair, and catalog volumes. Can't believe I'd forgotten that. Cat
I'm being pedantic, forgive me, but the covers are still on the books. What you two are removing are the dust jackets.
I have chairs like the ones you showed first. I had them in green, and I still have one of them.
