I could spend a week in there and yes a shipping container sounds like a plan. Can't wait to see Dollar Tree and Hobby Lobby. Thanks for taking us along with you. So exciting.
*cries in the UK* this is INCREDIBLE! It makes me want to board a flight immediately! So many lovely pieces
My sentiments exactly Luke
You would absolutely love it mate!
Love watching this thru your perspective!
I chuckled when I realized it was Luke!! I envy your thrift shopping in th UK!!!
Come on! Luke!
Mr C, a tip for you, if you buy a Tupperware type container the right size for the delicate item, pack it with socks or similar and it will make it home in one piece! Obviously you are limited for space but I have brought home novel shot glasses and gifts that way when travelling. So good to see you enjoying the USA. X
I have really enjoyed seeing the USA through a Brits eyes. Things we take for granted in the USA - the shopping options etc - are something I have never thought of as being different. Can’t wait to visit the UK soon!
In UK everything is smaller from homes to stores to food portions compared to US
Everything in Europe is much smaller....and more expensive!
Hope you wont be disappointed, with covid money as been tight as people could not work so these shops would have been great for a lot of people 😀 I couldn't get over the price of that chair you would pay a lot more here ,maybe we could become the 51 state of America
Same! I can’t wait to get to the Uk!
@@jennybassam5515 you don’t want that! We’ve got Biden over here!
Goodwill is truly a treasure hunt, I once found a vintage Christmas ornament for .29 cents and sold it on ebay for $114.
Almost all my home and seasonal decor is from GW. And I use their baskets to pack hostess gifts with home made goodies. Or for moving in or get well gifts. I LOOOVE the place. Greetings from Texas 🤠
I basically get pretty much everything to decorate my home and almost all my clothes at thrift stores. Goodwill is one I go to all the time. They also have Goodwill Outlet Stores where you pay by the pound. It's usually somewhere between $1.49 to $1.69 per pound for most things. And there are some things that are priced separately but still way below the prices in their regular stores. We just call the outlet stores "the bins". The bins is my very favorite place to go.
It was nice seeing shops in the US thru someone else’s eyes. Your charity shops always look well kept and exciting as for Goodwill it depends on where they are located and how well they are kept up. Prices vary and while a couple items in your shop seemed okay, others were a bit pricey. So glad you enjoyed your stay here in the USA.
Iwan looking forward to seeing what else you got it too but also excited to see what’s going on with your loft. Sending hugs and love from Northern California🥰☮️✨💋❤️
I love shopping at Goodwill❣ There are some that are better than others. But in general they have great variety and good pricing. So wonderful to see you over here in the USA Mr. C! 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
It is so interesting to see our American stores through a Brit's eyes. It was fun to tag along. In my area, the smaller charity shops have better quality items while Goodwill often has cheaper prices. A few years ago I found an enamel covered cast iron Dutch oven for a little under $5. If you check about once a week you can find some real treasures.
I was coming here to say this very thing. We have so much STUFF here and we take it for granted. I love our smaller shops and almost never go to the large ones like Goodwill. My favorites are the ones dedicated to animal rescues.
The thing about Goodwill stores is that all of them are different. Some are amazing and others not so amazing. And the pricing is all over the place depending on who is doing the pricing in the back. I’ve purchased very expensive artworks super cheap in one store while lmao at the ridiculously high prices attached to garbage in the next.
Agreed, I personally thought the pricing was on the high side on everything except furniture.
It was really interesting to finally see inside one of the Goodwill stores , no surprise how big they are. Looking forward to seeing your other shopping forays. You definitely made the most of your time over there.
Next time get a cart and put your “maybe” items in it while you walk around looking at other things…. If you decide you don’t want them you can always put them back but they won’t disappear while your thinking about it… just a suggestion 👍🍁🍀
Great idea!
It' a must when thrifting!👍
As they say everything is bigger in the USA and they're not wrong. Oh goodness Goodwill is mahoosive. Wonder if something like that will appear over here. Kate would have loved looking through all those mugs. Thanks for sharing xx
I live in the US in Florida and I'm an avid thrift shopper. I've found that if you see something in Goodwill you need to pick it up when you see it or it's gone. It used to be the place I'd thrift a lot but now I spend more time on shops that give more back to the community like Salvation Army and Community Hospice.
I'm so glad you got the chance to visit!!! ❤
I miss Goodwill SO MUCH! I used to go every week when I lived in Kansas. Watching now and this is definitely making me miss the states. X
I feel the same about missing The States 🇬🇧🇺🇸
I am Topeka. Never lived elsewhere. I'm an armchair traveler these day. God bless!
@@rachels9598 I lived in Wichita! I’ve been to Topeka a bunch of times. Our team used to play against the roller derby team in Topeka . They’re called “capital city crushers” ❤️
My sis lived in Wichita cuz was sent to McConnell AFB. We'd go visit. When she became a widow, she moved back here. Brother in law in air force.
Loved looking around Goodwill with you. Thanks for sharing this 👍 🥰
I would love to visits Goodwill, but I would spend a fortune and need a container to bring it all home to the UK. Just want to say how much I enjoyed your TV prog Sort Your Life Out, the family were so lovely and the results stunning. So looking forward to this Thursday on BBC1 for episode 2.
Ah good, I was looking forward to seeing your Goodwill video. Looking forward to Hobbylobby and Dollar tree now. Let's just hope you took an empty suitcase to bring home all your USA treasures. X
My daughter bought so many things for her first apartment at Goodwill and she, her sister and myself regularly shop for vintage clothing finds, or name brand clothes. The younger got a practically new to her whole wardrobe including a fall coat for under $50- shirts, pants, jackets etc. as she needed nice stuff for her internship. Best deal ever was the $4 wicker trunk bought by my daughter 6 years ago. We saw same in a Gordman's, for $80 the same day.
That Goodwill was so HUGE.... I WAS INTIMIDATED.....AND I LIVE HERE IN THE USA..!!!!! OH MY..!!! Their prices are higher than they used to be.... i think i would prefer to come with you and Luke and Kate to the car boot sales!!! You always find great stuff for 10p and 50p. My favorite one was when you found all those bargains on the tools to use when all your renovation is done!! Happy Sunday, thanks for all the work you put into making these for us 💕 💕
That was fun, "snooping" around in this huge charity shop!! You should pack some bubble wrap next time you go abroad. It would have saved the cactus glasses to take home! ;-))
I’m an English expat in Florida..I’m a thrifter from childhood ( church jumble sales) but I’ve always found the best stuff in the charity shops in UK…Oxfam etc. while I enjoy the goodwill stores I try to hit hospice thrift stores..happy thrifting everyone!!
Our little Goodwill is always worth checking out. They also get unsold items from Target, so you can find unopened items for a fraction of the price. Great for things like bedding, curtain and other soft furnishings.
What fun...I have been following you and pretend that I am in England. So nice to see you here enjoying us as well. My favourite thing that out do is your sip of coffee and always ready for 'refreshments'. Me too
Mr.C I live in the states and I go to goodwill more than I should .I always bring home more than I need. I watch your channel and love it. Thanks for taking us shopping with you!!!
Oh it looked amazing! Loved watching this… had to keep pausing the video 😆💛
I live in Texas and frequently visit Goodwill stores. My favorite recent find was a brand new Orrefors crystal vase for $5, retail $125. It’s always a treasure hunt-I never know what I will find. Enjoy your channel enormously.
Wow 🤩
Oh! Going to Goodwill used to be one of my favorite things to do on a Sunday afternoon. I had a 25 yr career in Banking (I retired early from JPMorganChase as an Executive Analyst for Jamie Dimon, the CEO) and Goodwill is where I got all of my name brand suits. I’d get them for a steal, have them dry cleaned and no one ever knew the difference lol. Whenever one of my office buddies would ask where I got them I’d tell them GW’s, lol and no one ever asked me where that was 😆. I think they thought it was a boutique!
It was so nice to see you enjoying your Goodwill shopping 🛍. I hope you find a few pieces you liked. I am so glad I went shopping with you in the USA. Thanks a million mrcarrington .
Oh my word, don't think I would be able to contain my excitement.
There was a joy mug!! And for once it was a cute one, I collect those, it's so rare to get anything with my name on!
OMG iwan that charity shop was massive I'd happily spend a few hours there, there was loads of gorgeous stuff I'd definitely need a shipping container lol hahaha 😄, loved the vlog take care 😀♥️
OMG! I just saw Jack Vettrianno dance me to the end of love in the frame section 😍😍😍
Watched you on the telly the other night Mr C, loved it 😘 Another great video 👍🏼
So nice to see all the stores I shop at through your eyes!
Goodwill is not a fave in our area, we call it ill will! Salvation Army or independents are the go to. I am so glad you enjoyed your visit to the US, my family and I love your channel. Love from the Capital of New York State...Albany New York!!
I loved this video it was great loved the goodwill shop it was massive ..I can't wait for your DIY Christmas Videos 😊
WOW! This is charity browsing/shopping. Kate McCabe is probably shouting at screen saying "get that mug". But we know Iwan doesn't forget his friends. 🤗💚
When I went to America, I only went to New York so no thrift stores about! This is the best video! Nice to see what they have!
Hello from Denver! I typically do my thrifting and donating at Goodwill. They all have different personalities, so some are better for me than others. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent lamps I have to say. And really good prices. When I travel I bring back so much crockery and textiles. Lots from vintage and charity shops.
If you or Luke are ever in the suburban Philadelphia, PA area, Montgomery, Bucks, Berks, Chester, Delaware, Lehigh and Northampton Counties...you would be amazed at our thrifting! We and our elderly parents are or were a population that "collects things" and we love to change things up routinely, and our donations to these shops tend to be nearly new and great quality!
In the US goodwill is a good place to start your thrifting adventure. My tip is to find the thrift shops that are tied to food banks. Mr. C went to Goodwill and I'm blown away. Have a great day.
Such a fascinating man, I think I have found my soul mate, after 7 years. I love watching Goodwill videos. Bye.
Love your charity shop videos! So fun. Can’t wait for the dollar tree & hobby lobby video!! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thrift shops are hit and miss but when you live here you find your favorites just like normal shops 👍
I'm so glad you had fun at Goodwill and it was nicely stocked! It's so fun watching you go to these places on your trip, can't wait for the next vlog! Much love from California ❤❤❤
Oh wow what a brilliant selection of stuff.....If I was you I'd have to buy another case and make sure I could get some stuff home. I hope you picked up that lovely wooden 'K' and a 'mug of the day' or two for Kate....lol
WOW!!! Your voice is incredible!!! Could I please request you read stories. I would love to fall asleep to the sound of your voice!!! It's just so lovely!!! ......oh and thank you for making this video! 🙏😍🧤🎩
Can’t wait to see your Target and Walmart experience. Goodwill here in Chicago isn’t that interesting, there are other thrift stores like Village Discount, Brown Elephant and Out of the Closet that carries great finds. Glad to see how you’ve enjoyed your short stay here in the 🇺🇸
Shops in USA are just the best . Hobby Lobby was my second home whilst living in USA for some years . Oh how I miss TN.
Luv sitting with my coffee and watching your videos. Luv thrifting ones.Have a wonderful day ❤️
I’m glad you liked Goodwill. It’s always fun to see what they have. As like someone else said , it’s hit or miss in these stores depending on the week or month really. It looks like you had some luck with some neat finds. Thanks for sharing. I enjoy your videos.
I find it so interesting that you liked Goodwill as I am so jealous of your charity shops that you take us too. Our Goodwill's are filled with a lot of dollar tree items or box store items and I'm a vintage lover. But it was fun to see it you through your eyes. Every house hold in the USA had those cactus glasses at one point lol I swear. They were all the rage for margaritas ❤️
Pickers snag the vintage stuff to resell online or there flea market booths. At a markup, of course. I prefer vintage too, but I'm trying to be more selective. I'm paring down my possessions as I get older.
If you like something put in your cart right away you can always pop it back on the shelf before you check out if you decide you don’t want it. Good wills are different in every store. Usually cheaper in smaller towns. Also Salvation Army. I like this thrifting for vintage. Even small antique stores have nice deals. Also local thrift stores. Where I live things are in high prices in NY. It also depends on when you go shopping they restock pretty often. I try not to buy new when I don’t have too.
I make the rounds of various thrift stores in my town. Yes, I go to Goodwill. They have to have a drive thru for donations. People donate car loads sometimes!!
I frequent Goodwill on a regular basis. Love thrifting.
Was hoping for Dollar tree and Hobby lobby today. . But the thrift store was fun to! Thanks for taking us along!
First rule of thrifting...if you see something interesting, put it in your cart. You can check comps and inspect for damage later, and always put it back on the shelf if you change your mind. If you think you might come back for it later, for sure it will be gone!
I love Goodwill. I found a set of 6 1893 World's Fair plates for $1.99. I once bought a flannel shirt at Goodwill and when I got home found $700 in the pocket.
Oh, oh. Pumpkin? I might have to rethink this subscription. Lol Great as always. Thank you.
New subscriber here! I love your vlogs! I live in south Louisiana, not far from New Orleans. I'm just around the corner from a very large and very busy Goodwill store. I've bought tons of things from them over the years and have donated just as much. As a matter of fact, one day I was shopping in the Goodwill store and had a cart full of clothes, etc. I suddenly realized that I was purchasing some costume jewelry that I had donated just a month or two before. LOL! I guess I should have thought twice before donating it. :) So glad you had a good time in Nashville and I'm looking forward to your next videos. Lots of fun! Thanks!
For thought, you can purchase items and mail them back home to you. Just a thought, I hope it helps out.
Our Goodwills are high priced here in Texas. We have other thrift shops and consignment shops I frequent. Glad you had fun.
Tennessee is where I’m from. I now live in California. I have about 10 goodwill stores near me. Always find amazing items in there.. Enjoy your time here in the US! Love your videos 😀
Love to see Good Will through your eyes. If you go there constantly you will find lots of great items.
I love the UK I’ve been a few times. I will have to try a jumble sale next time.
Enjoy your visit ❣️
I'm in the U.S. (Cleveland, Ohio) and we have several Goodwill stores close to me. I go every few weeks, you have to have time to sort through everything but I have found some great deals.
Wow...amazing thrift shops Mr Carrington. Hope you got loads of bargains...I always pick up stuff if I see it, then if I change my mind I can put it back...cos you can guarantee if I leave it and go back it's gone. Looking forward to the next vlog in America . 🇺🇸
I love to go to Goodwill, but my favorites are the smaller thrift shops. Love your videos, btw. You’re so amazing!
Loved the ending bit Mr C. 😊 London at night in the rain - quintessential and lovely.
Those charity shops are mahoosive out in the USA I am very envious, I would probably go in and not come out for a week! I have been told there is a new one in Taunton opened up in a big store so cannot wait to go and see if it is true! I'll let you know! Yes I saw loads of stuff I wanted and would have deffo picked up a couple bits to bring back with me if at all possible! Looks like you had so much fun on your trip, do let us know if you did buy a little something from the thrift store please! Looking forward to the other films of other shopping out in the States. Thanks for taking us along with you it was fun!
The cat tumblers were interesting.
I hope you enjoyed your wander around!
There are Goodwill shops just about in every city in US. In some cities there are several. We have Salvation Army Thrift Store all over too. SA is a religious charity. There are local thrift stores in abundance too. Most are larger than those I have seen in the UK blogs.
Welcome to the US. I hope you have a great time here.
Hello Mr. Carrington, welcome to America! Watching your shopping trip at the Goodwill. Now that I've retired, I love to go thrifty shopping. I have several favorite ones. Within five miles of my house there are five different shops. I enjoy going to Savers, Salvation Army, Castaway's, The Giving Store and two Goodwill. I also enjoy shopping on RUclips. Do you sell items on RUclips as a reseller? Well I hope that you enjoy the rest of vacation in America. i look forward to your next video. Bye for now!
The thrift stores outside Nashville are so.good! Especially the Franklin/Brentwood area - where most of the ‘celebrities’ & country music stars live! 😉
I am in Texas and have two Goodwills near me. Favorite shopping spots. Glad you enjoyed Goodwill. Much fun.
If you can research and go the Goodwills in close proximity to affulent areas , that where you find desigher clothes , bags and shoes.
I have always wanted to go to goodwill :) my friend ( crazy lamp lady ) goes all the time. P.S i was watching some day time tv last week and saw you on the telly i was shouting it's Mr Carrington ha ha
My Mommie loved browsing the Goodwill store!🥲 Yep, one man's junk is another man's treasure! I'm glad you had a wonderful time here. I can't wait for all of the upcoming USA vlogs. The Loft is coming together nicely!
The Lidl lady teddy dressed as a southern belle🤧
Yes, the Good wills, Salvation Army and Savers thrift stores are big here :) I hope you really enjoyed your trip here :) tfs 🍃🍂🍁🌞🌛🦃🥰✝️🥧😃🙏🧡🌲
We just had a Goodwill open in our small town in Northern California. It wasn't very well stocked yet. It was a big space with tons of clothes. Not much in home goods. I bought 3 books and when I got home I saw the price on them and the books seemed priced to high for used. I was sort of rushing through before a dentist appointment so didn't check out everything. One great thing is that they take drop offs of most everything everyday.
Mr. Carrington
You are a real treat.
Thank you for showing us the other side of the 🇺🇸 thrifting.
Looking forward for the next vlog 😀
Too late now but a tip when thrifting in the USA put it in your trolley whilst you think about it. Look for the coloured labels that are reduced (you can tell thaf I watch too many American thrifting videos lol). One youtuber to watch is Thrilled Thrifter as she is forever styling her home with her thrifted finds and she upcycles her finds too. Her channel is great for ideas.
The Christmas tray was nice and other nice things too.
My sisters and I call ourselves the scrounge sisters. Thrift stores have been a huge part of our lives. And Good Will is one of the best. For you, there is Salvation Army, American Cancer Society, Teen challenge hmm others skip my mind at the moment.
I was at a Goodwill last week and all everybody did was complain there was nothing to buy out of the 1000's of items put out for sale. I got a working lighted Christmas Tree there and saved $50+. My Goodwills are very high so you have to shop the outlet/bins.
I'm only 37 seconds in but I'M SO EXCITED for this!! haha
Welcome to the USA! I love watching you and your youtube Channel!
The Goodwill near me is smaller then the one you were in, and has more clothing then anything else. But it's like all GWs, a messy jumble of items. People will donate all their junk even if broken to a thrift store.
If you have a chance, try to get over Loveless Cafe. I had the hot chicken there, and I had a get pot roast meal at Bishops 3.
Some really nice pieces, definitely something I must do when I eventually get to the us
Another great vlog Iwan - looking forward to Target, Dollar Tree and Hobby Lobby!
Love your wonderful videos, don't understand how anyone can give you a thumbs down., Anyway, looks fantastic there , take care Mr.C xx
Morning Mr C 👍 .. some really lovely bits in there , I love how big the goodwill is . Be so nice if we over here in UK had bigger chairty shops . The Starbucks looked very nice lol ... So looking forward to seeing you shop in hobby lobby and the dollar tree.. most of all I'm hopping for a cheeky haul 🤞lol .. happy Sunday have a lovely day X ☕🇺🇸
My daughter lives in Ohio. When I visit her we always pop into goodwill 🥰.
That was a particularly big store - there are smaller ones - usually can find some great home bits ! There are a few near me and I love a good rummage !
Goodwill can be hit or miss, but looks like you found a big one. Theycmake donating easy, so my declutter items often go there. I'm more of a Target and Dollar Tree person, can't wait to see that vid!!! Next time, come to Los Angeles 😉
