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..
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.:-)❤❤❤❤❤❤
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.
We rarely have yarn, but I stopped by today, and they had Red Heart Super Saver jumbo in 4 different colors. Couldn't resist at $4.99 each. Luckily, they had it very neatly stacked.
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!!😅😅
I always love to look at what yarn is available when I go to Ollie’s. I do like the O’go yarn, though it does tend to get a little tight if I want to loom knit with it. It’s great for regular knitting and crochet, though. I also like to stock up on cat litter there. As with all these discount stores, some items tend to be hit and miss, but there are decent things to be found if you poke around. I may have to pick up a book on crochet.
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 haven't been to Ollie's in quite a while. Everytime I go they never have yarn. 🤷🏼♀️ I love mallow cups.😋 I shop for Christmas all year too. Those recipe tins are great! I have the Philadelphia Cream Cheese tin. Wishing you a wonderful weekend 🙏🏻💖😊
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 & 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. ❤️
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.
I love Ollies , you need to keep an eye on their flyers for when they get new yarn. I've purchased Bernat blanket yarn , recently they had Red Heart solid color yarn jumbo yardage for 4.99 a skein . Thank you for sharing not crazy for that loopy yarn
My Ollies has a bunch of junk, too! Many years ago I did not purchase wisely and now wish I had more RH Soft and the sparkle cakes. I did get 4 humongous balls of RH Comfort at $4.99 in a pretty blue and still need to make that blanket!😂 Thanks for sharing your adventure! 💙
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 !
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.
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. 🙏💜🫂🧶
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.
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. 😂😂
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
@@bhallmark3390 wish I. were near. Would take off your hands. Loved making a nice long scarf for those folks. Had never used, but next time I will take my hooks and test before deciding how much to buy!
We finally got an Ollie's in town. I live in Central Illinois. I bought the Hershey tin. It's pretty interesting. So far, they have only had the off the hook yarn here. I'm waiting patiently for some regular yarn. 😁
Went to a local ollies that opened a month or so ago. Very large store, but it was relatively empty! Surprised at how little merchandise was in the store.
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❤❤
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
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.
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.
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
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 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 🙂
My local Ollie’s store never has any yarn. Our local Joann store is going out of business. Our local Walmart has half of one side of an isle of yarn and that is never stocked. I am so jealous of people who have lots of places to go and get yarn. I don’t know why so many yarn store are going out of business. Can never find the yarn I need or want.
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.
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!
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.
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.❤
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 !!! 😉
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.
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 - always look forward to your videos - thanks for sharing! Ollie's - we have one maybe 30 miles from me - I have never been there - some of my friends go on occasion but not much yarn according to them! Some prices are decent but.... yikes! At least I do have a Joann's, Michaels and Hobby Lobby fairly close. I guess you'll just have to use up all the yarn you have and people keep sending you happy mail - lucky you! :-) Sorry Cody - you're a young man - you'll have to work 2 part-time jobs in the future 😉 Have a nice week :-)
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.
That. Is. Horrific! I want to jump through the innernets and FIX THAT MESS 🤣
Thanks for showing this store its ashame the yarn section so disorganized.... I always love watching your shopping trips ☺️
Loved seeing the Candy aisle! 😉❤❤

Good morning Glenda and Cody..I have the same in mine
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?
I gave my husband that fender book for Christmas! Better a book than another guitar! Sounds like you understand 😀
We rarely have yarn, but I stopped by today, and they had Red Heart Super Saver jumbo in 4 different colors. Couldn't resist at $4.99 each. Luckily, they had it very neatly stacked.
@@stickshooksandstrings5069 That’s amazing! I wish the Ollie’s near me would carry that.
@bhallmark3390 its a rarity!!! Thanks to this video, I stopped by, and boy, am I happy about that!!
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. 💜
That's a pretty big yarn section. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Glenda and Cody 🌞 thanks for the shopping trip 🩷
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.

thank you both for sharing 🙏💙🩷
Good morning, Glenda, Cody, and everyone all who are watching.
So true. We dont have an Ollies here. Wish we did. Thankyou for the review.
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❤
We just lost our Big Lots store.but.... I heard it's gonna be an Ollie's. Can't wait to see
I love Malo Cups too.
I have never bought yarn at Ollie's but I love to look at their books.I love Mallo Cups and Candy Corn!
I haven't been to Ollie's in quite a while. Everytime I go they never have yarn. 🤷🏼♀️ I love mallow cups.😋 I shop for Christmas all year too. Those recipe tins are great! I have the Philadelphia Cream Cheese tin.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend 🙏🏻💖😊
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

I have never had a Mallo cup. I haven't been to this store in awhile. Thanks for taking us along.
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 😂 !
Thanks for showing the knitting books. I love knitting and crochet
My Ollies has a bunch of junk, too! Many years ago I did not purchase wisely and now wish I had more RH Soft and the sparkle cakes. I did get 4 humongous balls of RH Comfort at $4.99 in a pretty blue and still need to make that blanket!😂 Thanks for sharing your adventure! 💙
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 !
We just got an Ollie's in my town, but I haven't been there yet. Nice to know they have yarn.
Hi! Cody and Glenda, my Ollie’s didn’t have any yarn. It’s fun to see what yours has. Have a good day🤗
Thanks for the tour!
Ooh! I want the knitting book! 😂
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 ollies books. We have one in bloomsburg now.
Oh Elmo, I would’ve brought all of those home lol
That Zachary’s candy corn is the best! If you are on the fence about candy corn, give it a try😊
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. 🙏💜🫂🧶
those knitting graphs can be crochet easy enough

ohhhh Mallo Cups. MY FAVE. I like going in our Ollies. Its one of those hit or miss kinda stores but definitely can get some great deals.
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.
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
Hey it was cool to see the Ollies.
No Ollie's around our area. Wow, that's a NICE book section!!

Cat basket to hold yarn 😊
I never see these at my Ollie's
Ollie's has it all...corn dogs, crabs, and Bart the Muppet! 😉
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.
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 🙂

Christmas shop all year long! I am with 'ya! 🛍 🌞
I have an Ollies about 25 minutes from me that I've never been to. I should try it out see what they have.
Thanks for the shopping trip! 🧶❤️🧶
Backpack would be cool.😊
Love Mallo cups.

That’s Bert 😆
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!
The loop yarn is easy to work with
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!
I always forget about ollies. Now I want to go to one lol.

Hi. We don't gave Ollie's here in Connecticut. I would like it just for the books!
The Ollies near me looks as if someone came in and had a food fight in the store.
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 🎉😂
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 😢 😞
Love oGo!!! Damn.
I couldn’t sleep so here I am.
That’s so sad. The Ogo blue and green looks nice.
That was a mess. Great deal on books.
