    This was SO FUN! I loved the format. And Stewart, I think you gave great fashion advice. Goodwill and other thrift stores (in my area Thrifty Shopper and the Salvation Army) use proceeds to provide much needed services to our community. Occasionally, prices seem high for a particular item, but in general, it's still a bargain. Reuse, recycle and repurpose while helping those in need. Win. Win. I like evening times better for RUclips live. Looking forward to it!!

      And the reality is there are stories of Goodwill's every where throwing a lot of stuff out. They can't keep up with how much they receive. We're a throwaway culture so I think we're doing a service to the environment!

  • @SteveL2012
    @SteveL2012 2 года назад +22

    Great point about thrift store prices, people can be so petty and unnecessarily critical. You are being economically, socially and environmentally responsible by creating a market for items that would otherwise end up in the landfill. Cheers to you, yet again, Linda!

    • @youbetcha108
      @youbetcha108 2 года назад

      Agreed. Don’t know why I have heard don’t go to thrift stores bc you are stealing affordable things from others who really need it. No! You are buying and if a family person comes in do you think those places charge them or turn them down ? Nonsense. Linda supports their ability to give needy what they need. Keep donating and keep shopping at these places.

    • @SteveL2012
      @SteveL2012 2 года назад

      @@youbetcha108 agreed, and further, I have never been in a thrift store with anything remotely like a shortage of goods. It is also absurd to suggest that a RUclips channel with 150k subscribers has the power to change markets in a country of 330M people.

    Let me just say, I love to thrift/second hand shop, but I rarely go to rummages…I would rather pay that”finders fee”. If I go into a shop and pay a bit more I’m good with it. My goodwill however is not that great whereas where my daughter lives in NC, hers is great! I love how you OWN your second hand vibe!!! Love it Linda!

  • @Heyrizzo
    @Heyrizzo 2 года назад +7

    Oh so much fun! I love this video and hope to see more like it. I’m really confused about why anyone would say or basically accuse you or other thrifters of driving prices up. Um hello- every thing has gone up. These stores are putting a lot of resources into getting good items and not just junk to sell. Sometimes i think the terminology “thrift store” isn’t relevant anymore because they have really stepped up their game. Anyway, have a great holiday weekend 🇺🇸

    You found some great apparel at your Goodwill. I once owned an original Diane Von Furstenburg wrap dress circa 1975. If I had kept it I could have resold it today for a pretty penny. Great fun!

    My friend and I go to the Goodwill Outlet which is where everything is so reasonable. My favorite comment about something I got there was when a woman in the mall asked me what high end store I got my pants from and I told her they were a high end brand that I got at a low end price! When she found out where, she was amazed!
    Keep up the good work, Linda and Stewart!

    Fun. Glad to see your shopping spree. I saved an OP shortcut Terri beachy zip up top circa 1985 which my daughter swiped from a closet. She loves that top and it still looks great! I can’t go to thrift shops. I have no self control ! But I do recycle curbside furniture if I can use it. I love to Re do old pieces. It’s my meditation. That and gardening🌺🌺 New York 7a either time works for me for yt live!

Lives aren't really my thing because there's usually a lot of non entertaining content like pauses for questions, etc. I appreciate the edited videos where that kind of stuff is cut out leaving just the fun bits. Also, the time wouldn't work for me as I am on the west coast and still working then. But lots of people do seem to enjoy lives and I hope yours goes well!

    I love that you encourage others to thrift! Your idea of using saucers for indoor potted plants is something I do also! I taught my children we look at 50%+ racks first to stretch the clothing budget and when they were small garage sales for winter coats and jackets. While flea markets were something we spent the whole day shopping for yard things and fishing gear, my hubby hunted for and often found. His hobby was rebuilding reels and then selling those once a year and doing it all over again! Thrifting is fun and responsible. I really enjoyed this today. Thank you Linda.
