  • Come thrift shopping with me at Goodwill in Calgary, Alberta Canada. Another snow storm won't keep me from thrifting. Lots of bargains and treasures to be found at Goodwill second hand shop. Thrift with me Canada.

    Thrifting is the best kind of shopping! It's the unexpected that I so enjoy and watching thrifting videos is just as fun. I enjoyed your calm voice and thorough coverage of the shelves. I am now a subscriber :)

    I used to stop by the Thrift Stores on my way home from work, esp. if it was a stressing day. Didn't have to buy a thing, just walk around looking, touching a few things, etc. Kind of like you were doing. Always put me in a better frame of mind, before going home.

      I feel like a kid again when I am out thrifting... feels good to be disconnected from electronic devices (except when I am recording lol)

    I really enjoyed seeing all the beautiful things your Goodwill had to offer! My local Goodwill stores do not have this selection.
    For people who say, 'you should have bought this and that'......unless you have a re-sale business, why would you want a house full of all this stuff? It's nice that you are showing us what it out there and it inspires folks to go to their own local Goodwill. I'm sure Goodwill is grateful for the extra traffic your videos provide to their stores!

    Hello, I live in PA, USA. I am a collector and saw lots of items I would have bought in this store. I love pottery, better glass bowls, vases, etc. I have treasures from Canada antiques, etc. Postage is high but if I want it I buy it. I decided to give you a try and subscribed. Thank you. TRUDY

    This was the first video I’ve seen of you thrifting. I couldn’t believe how many awesome things are at this Goodwill. Unfortunately, the two close to me do not sell jewelry. Also, the prices are so much better than in my area. I’m outside of Austin, Texas. Our prices are double to quadruple for a lot of the items you showed. The prices in our area have gotten too expensive. I’m a reseller on eBay and it’s hard to find things at a decent price for resale. Great video!

    • @diaryofathrifter

      Thank you so much for the encouragement! I will be putting out 3 videos real soon, one a jewelry jar unboxing.. fun stuff to come soon!

    May I ask where this one is. I just subscribed to you. I am looking for fabric and linens. I live in Calgary also. I did sell for awhile, but am now getting a collection of my own fashion ready to sell online.

    There are so many things that I would purchase. Blue Willow China, tea pots, coffee pots, the silver. The onion soup bowls. I always carry lots of money to buy everything I like. I can not be looking at something forever and not buy it. If later on I find I don't wanted later on that piece, it will become a gift for a family member. I can't go to the store just to look. That will be a waste of time for me and for the staff in the store. They work hard getting the merchandise to be displayed.

      @diaryofathrifter  4 месяца назад

      I picked up 2 today because of your appraisal, thank you, I would not have known how valuable they are if it wasn't for you comment, thank you!! I would have bought more but they had chips on the back...

    • @Secretshopper1965
      @Secretshopper1965 4 месяца назад +1

      I haven't seen the back stamp on those plates, that will be the deciding factor as to their value. CONGRATS!@@diaryofathrifter

    Trudy here again. I also collect candlesticks one only, unique smaller dishes, art on walls unique, vintage jewelry, vintage older than 40 years and antiques especially ornaments in both. Also, expensive seashells, fossils, minerals, crystals unique and expensive, art to put on stands, etc plus lots more. My home is stunning to look at my collections. Not a hoarder. Do you sell or collect? Thanks again.

    • @diaryofathrifter

    The blue rim glass is too elegant to use a straw, so how does one drink out of it. Is it just for show??😊😊

    When my Goodwill has 50% tags you really don’t see much with those tags. This store has a lot 50% off.

      I miss a lot of red tags when I film, but when I watch the video at home, I see them all...
