- This video is about 2017
With dumpster diving you can literally stop shopping at commercial stores for things that you need. Check out how I was able to score some awesome necessities and more right in the trash. The GREAT thing about it...it was all FREE!!!!
There are lots of cool ways to make and save money - How about taking a stab at Dumpster Diving!!! This Dumpster Diving Scavenger Hunt thing is AWESOME!!! I find lots of money and other cool items that I basically get for FREE. Now, there are times when some people just can't understand my hustle. When those situations arrive I keep calm and humbly display to them the art of DIVING!!!
I LOVE IT!!!!!

It completely ANGERS me that anyone would throw away clothing in the trash. There are so many ways to donate them so that they don't land up in the landfill. Thanks for diving!
Omg even the kids toys. Come on people... why not donate so another child can use them. Ugh
Kristina Vee Sometimes they're broken or messed up:)
Macy Simpler no I know. But that's not always the case. I've seen plenty of children's toys in the garbage before. At the very least, recycle them. It's just a colossal waste and our planet suffers.
Kristina Vee Hey take toys to a second hand store. I don't have kids, but my parrot loves them!
Downhomesunset no kids for me either! But when I do have one, second hand stores will be my friend. Curious as to how a parrot likes kids toys??! Please explain :) hehe
Yes ma'am. I am the same way about cards. I no longer buy em for my fiancé bc he just dont care about cares so why waste the money right... i love looking at my grandpas cards he gave me. Seeing his handwriting makes me a happy sad. I can remember the way he wrote my name with his cards and letters. Makes me feel close to him. Hes chilling up in heaven though waiting on me. Lol
You'd surprised at the amount of cards I find on a dive. I feel bad for the person that gave them- they're clearly not appreciated.
Me too that's sad. My mom and dad have hand made cards from me and my brother from when we were lil still. Thats where i got my love of cards.
I totally agree
me too
Especially the ones that are like Graduation and teenager birthday cards...I find big stacks of those and you know that the kid went through, pillaged for money and dumped them in a pile. Sometimes they don't even take all the money out (or gift cards).
Breaks my heart that it's easier for people to trash all them cloths then to donate. Glad to see you making the effort. :)
I love watching other people enjoy doing the same thing as I do. I think it's so fun and it's the best therapy! Heres to hoping you find great things in 2017!
Dumpster Diving in Stilettos! i was just watching one of ur videos
Dumpster Diving in Stilettos! ❤
I love the fact you are saving the stuff from the Landfill and more power to you for any profit you make of it.
I am thirty years old, I have always saved my cards. Many loved ones have passed, when I miss them, I open up their cards to me. I see their hand writing, and how much they love me.
Something to think about...you passed on the pillow sham because of the possibility of bedbugs, but then turned around and took other clothing items from the same batch of stuff....bedbugs don't care WHAT they crawl into, they're just as happy in clothing or sofas as in bed linens!!! Just trying to be thought provoking!
😉
Yeah but I'm sure Mom the Ebayer washes that stuff when she gets home, and where she's diving at looks pretty upscale (not saying that's fool-proof, but it helps I think).
HappyHandyLife I'm sure she does too (I mean, who wouldn't?!?) but I just said that because she purposely passed on that cute sham for fear of bugs but then took all that other stuff that was in with it.
Ah, that makes sense. I thought the sham was cute too, but I also pass on all bedding in the dumpster, no matter how cute.
HappyHandyLife what Pam H. is saying is that if bedbugs were possibly in the sham, then it would be the same story with the clothes.
Thanks for rescuing the clothes for the homeless shelter! That lamp you passed up could be sanded down a bit and spray painted....even if it needed to be rewired its not hard or expensive to do and you could have made your self a nice profit for a few hours of work and also saved it from the landfill. If you are not crafty I bet you know someone who is. Thanks for sharing.
If someone gives me a card and it doesn't have a personal note inside of it, I usually cut the front of it and use it for decorating my scrapbook pages! But only if the card doesn't have a heartfelt message inside :)
I keep all my cards that I receive in a box, I could never throw them away. I have cards from my grandparents who have passed away years ago, just seeing their handwriting brings a smile to my face.
Girl I just think u r adorable!!! I just love how happy and cheerful u r!! U r a great singer!! I imagine u sing at church!! God bless u and ur family and may be bring u all many more blessings!!
You sing so good.
You have an angel's voice and that singing voice is special and a gift of God.
Completely agree about throwing out cards. I like to go through old greeting cards I've gotten whenever I'm feeling down and it always cheers me up
I'm not sure what parts better, you're ability to sing anything or you're wit! Super enjoyable to watch.
On the broken glass lid - glue some flat bottomed glass pebbles around the rim. Hide the break and bling it up a little.
Hello Mom the Ebayer just wanted to leave you a tip. That glass jar you found with the cracked top can be somewhat fixed. Take some sand paper and sand the broken part. This will take out that jagged edge and smooth it out making it safe to touch. I do it all the time specially with baking wear. It works wonders. Just a little tip. Be Blessed and keep finding goodies.
Im with you on the cards thing. My mom, may she rest in peace, before passing made handmade cards that were AMAZING! She never got into the computer/social media/email world. She hated it because it was so impersonal. I actually have cards from my first birthday, letters from family that has passed away and even just cards from friends that i may not be friends with anymore. That box is one of my most prized possessions. I still send cards whether people trash them or not. Its the act of making someone feel special. Giving your time is more precious than money.
I love your channel! Your family is so cute. I really like How you take things that people just throw away and think to donate it to others who will need it! You’re saving useful things from the landfill and repurposing it, that’s great!
I keep every last card I receive.
PharmD2be1 eu,te,adimiro
I just started watching your videos after one was in my recommended and I love them! I really love how you’re giving away to the homeless shelters! We need more people like you in this world 🌎 ❤️
"I don't do bedding because of bedbugs"
takes clothes 😂😂😂😂💀💀💀
simone whitaker easier to clean clothes
I love this cause whatever you find u can use but what u can't use other people can
I can't throw away cards! I totally agree with you!
I wholeheartedly agree on keeping cards for keepsakes! They are going away soon because of technology! The thought, time and presentation in a given card says so much!
Watch out for bed bugs in clothing too!
Anna Hitchcock sure thing. I'm blessed not to have any as of yet.
Mom The Ebayer was that u singing or was it the radio because I'm like her singing is good she gas a hood voice . have a blessed day
Neysa Cruz That was me 😊 Thank You!
Putting clothes in the freezer for a day should take care of the bedbugs.
Bed bugs probably died out in that freezing cold dumpster with nobody to bite before she even got there
When you started singing riding in my automobile you just made my day you made me smile so big you have a beautiful voice. And you found some amazing stuff for free.
Oh my g'ness I loved this post~everything about it just makes me happy! Your voice, your happy spirit, singing, caring about re-using stuff rather than buying more, more, more to clutter up a crowded world~good for you, and for all of us, thank you! You are inspiring and I'm grateful for what you do and especially how you're choosing to do it, with love and a smile=)XO Samantha in AZ
You are amazing ! What you can't use you find a home less shelter who can use it. You are so special !
We've been married 37 years and have every card we've ever gotten - birthday, Christmas, get well - all of them🎈
you have a beautiful sentimental soul then.i also save all my cards too.
TheBeautifulGoldenhour eu,vc,demais,vc,luta,guara
Angel you crack me up whenever you sing and sing about garbage. Thanks for putting a laughter in us ! ;o)
Riiidddiinnn along in my auuutttoooomobiiiiillllll...... loved it Angel!
LOL... Thank You!
Ive seen many diving channels but yours is my favorite. Youre hilarious. And i admire your diving confidence . No shits given :D
I have always been very sentimental and giving cards is part of how I express my feelings. I would have to admit that some cards I have are not the greatest but there are the heart felt ones I will always keep and cherish. I understand exactly how you feel and all I can think is that maybe the person who did this had a good reason. Keep up your video's love watching them. :)
Those cards would make a crafter so very happy!!! My mind is just going with things you could do with them and make something lovely and decorative with. :)
twimama43 as a crafty person, I agree with this 100%!
twimama43 yes same I was like I could do so much with those cards
I agree with you about the birthday and other cards. I save mine also. My kids are grown now, but I have some from when they were little and they wrote these sweet messages to me. I also have cards from people that have passed on and I am so happy that I kept them.
I definitely keep any cards we receive. I love looking back at Sweet sentimental memories.
I recently started making my own cards for others to add a more personal touch to gifts and occasions. Not sure if others keep the cards I make. It’s rewarding enough to create it for them. 😊
I keep the written messages of the cards, and me and my kids reuse the front of the cards for crafting new cards. This way we give something we made, and they often look better than store bought. I also date and write in the gift, for my kids to remember what they got when they look back in the future.
I am recovering from foot surgery and every time I watch one of your videos I get crazy!! I want to get out there and do some picking but I can't right now! It's brutal!! But I can't/won't stop watching you because I love your videos.
Why would they just throw away so much clothes when they could donate it 😢
makeupbymelic_ maybe the clothes aren't fit to donate
Some people don’t take the time to donate. I found a nice floor lamp , desk chair, water hose with stand, and kids ball hoop someone just threw out
Wow those people who threw out that stuff are so wasteful! I'm glad you found that stuff and can put it to good use😊
I love watching your videos mom the ebayer Because. You always found something cool!!!!!
I keep all of my cards, I am nearly 16 and I still have all mine from my 3rd birthday up because we moved and lost a couple but I still have most of them, just like you I don't really give people cards for that reason but the cards that I do give get kept because I only give them to family my best friend and my boyfriend of 3 years. I'm so happy that I've found your channel because just watching your videos makes be smile. You are such an upbeat and happy lady and you never fail to make me smile. Also you have a very lovely singing voice 😊 love your videos ❤
these are prayers being answered. one person throws out perfectly good stuff that other folk are actively praying for!
It is good to look back on all the birthday cards & Christmas cards
Mom the Ebayer.
with all that singing.. I had to subscribe! I was the one to de-hoard my Mom's place when she passed.. and 1000s upon 1000s of frickin CARDS.. ALL had loving words in them.. TOO MANY to keep.. recycle bin recieved them well. I have learned in my Ebaying and gathering/hauling to let go.. I had a hoard..and didnt realize it.. omg!! taking care of Mom's stuff opened my eyes.. 18,000 books.. my obsession! I found books in the garbage.. by the 100s.. you can find them all day and night now.. no one wants books, I had to get rid of almost all.. cuz they wont sell, and are hard to even give away nowadays.
Girl, I would totally go dumpster diving with you! That's awesome that you will donate the clothes that don't fit you to homeless shelters.
Mom I hate to tell you but bed bugs get on everything. Not just bedding. The people who have them, have them on their clothes and lamps, and pictures and other furnishings, suitcases. So all those clothes could have been infested with them. People often have to throw away most of their belongings to get rid of bed bugs.
You are so smart. I have watched you for a long time and recently found out my mom watches you. She and my sister do curb surfing a little more than me . I do it but don't fine nearly as much as they do. And we all wish we were as good as you. Hope you find great stuff ! Leslye from Tennessee
Enjoy your videos. Been to Chicago in the snow. Never seen so much of the city until your videos. I was a truck driver. The snow is a flashback. So glad I live in San Antonio. This was a wonderful video.
I keep the majority of my cards! I even have one from my first birthday from my mum and dad! I have my grandmas cards she gave us and i love reading them over. I love giving cards out.
I've never dumpster dived... dove? whatever, but I enjoyed watching you do it! You cracked me up!
I love your spirit, you always make me smile! XO
Your right about the cards, ppl put a bit of themselves in the words they write to the one receiving the card. My Mother kept all the cards us kids gave her for ever, she had a small dresser full of them. it was neat as an adult to go back and see how I , as a child used to write. I guess it was the Mom thing however she even kept the ones we sent her as adults up until the day she died. :)
I have 3 office envelope boxes I have kept. My Christmas cards same way. The other day I was going through Christmas cards and found 1 my husband got me those sweet words did my heart good he's been gone over 2years😘💞👍
Great finds, I only found your channel yesterday and I'm hooked. I watched every last one of your videos and I love them. please continue the dumpster dives I love them.❤ and also I keep all my cards I can't throw them away I'm a very sentimental person!
Happy New Year!!! Love your videos!!! wish they were longer!!! :-)
I found a big bag of clothes about a month ago in the garbage as I was walking out to take out the trash and girl it was clothes in dat Bag ain't never been worn some with tags still on em. I brought that bag right in back in the house hot washed the clothes and you would be so amazed at how someone threw them away. It broke my heart 💯 half of everything I have is someone else's trash...I just thank God he has blessed me to be smart with all I do. If we really pay attention everything is free. We are just dummies for paying for it. Girl I don't pay for ketchup mayonnaise mustard BBQ sauce honey mustard ranch dressing etc ....I don't pay for water never ever.... And I refuse to pay for clothes..they free all day.... I salute you queen for all you do!!!!!
My daughter is 30 and I've still got all the cards I was given at my baby shower. I've also kept every card she was given at all her birthdays and every single card she has ever made/ given me and her dad
The bag with the dress u missed the too faced chocolate bar makeup palette :0 they retail for 60$!
April Alarie omg I just seen that chocolate pallet! omg I want one of those sooo bad! u should have picked that pallet up mom the ebayer...
Krystle Butler yes ! I own that one and it was a great investment!! Smells just like chocolate ! And her videos are awesome!
April Alarie so amazing what is just lying there!! Crazy!!
if you look closely its just an empty packet the pallete came in
Oh.. Ok:)
Smart lady! I love her positive attitude!
I love you. Your singing is amazing. You are so entertaining to watch. I wish I could go dumpster diving. I am afraid I would get caught some day I will work up the nerve. Keep making videos and singing. I love it.
stumbled upon your channel in my suggested and when you started singing I was touched. your voice is like magic.
You find so many great things. My area of the country is not situated like yours. I'm not even sure where to go dumpster diving. But I might try the nearby colleges at the start of the summer break.
Try the nearby colleges anytime honestly...especially any slightly off-campus apartments where rich foreign students live. You would not believe what they throw away, and not just at the end of the year. I tend to avoid the dorms because they don't throw out much that I would want, but the apartments and sometimes the frat/sorority housing can be goldmines.
I love getting cards! I have every card that was given to me since day 1. I'm 35 almost every one of my grandparents have passed away and I love that I can go threw the card they have given me. Also I have 5 kids and I've kept every card for them also.
I would definitely keep all my cards those are memories you have to hold on to them
That glass container lid you can hide the crack by hot gluing lace or some kind of trim around it . Oh and you have a beautiful singing voice
Totes agree with the cards thing I only ever do cards at special celebrations now and soon I will make my own cards to give to people in elderly homes. I guess it's always nice to feel loved by someone not worried about if it gets tossed but at least my sentiments would have meant something to someone who maybe lonely xoxo
You could glue a flower or some bling to that broken glass lid to hide the chip.
Melinda OA or add a bit of glue from glue gun to smooth it out.
Bed bugs can be found in clothing also ,and I'm happy that you donate because it just don't make sense for people to be with out when stuff like that is sitting there, but bed bugs can be found in clothing also.
I agree with you on the cards. I keep cards too! I love looking back on cards that I've received over the years. Some people just don't feel the same way unfortunately. Oh well.
If you take clear nail polish and paint it around the chipped part of the lid ( a few coats) will keep anyone from getting cut & it will feel smooth
BTW, "Mom", you can smooth the sharp edges of that chipped jar lid with an Emory board or sandpaper (of course, throw the board or paper away afterward cause it will have glass on it!) and then coat it with several coats of clear nail polish to take away the sharp edges....I know you have young children, so I thought of them. I also thought, you could have cleaned the base of that floor lamp and painted it with high-gloss black spray paint to change it up!
Wanted to let you know bed bugs do not only stay on bedding. If you find bed bugs you can be sure bed bugs will be on everything near where you find them. In 2016 I decided I was going to pick up a vacuum my neighbor threw out. I noticed by baby had some strange bites then little by little within 6 months everyone in the house was being bit. One of my teen boys was able to catch a live one, that is when we found out we had bed bugs. The only new item in the house was the vacuum. We ended up passing them to my brothers house. The way he got rid of them was he heated his house to over 150 degrees and held it for 45 min per room.
It's always so fun watching your videos.
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Hugs
i put all my cards in my baby book, a lot of my relatives have passed and reading those cards help me feel better about things and i think the style of cards change alot so if you keep them all it's kind of a evolution of your life in card form
I know this is an old video but I just love to re watch your amazing vids! I like to give cards and I always have along with something else but I've seen so many people throw them away that I just dont really get cards for people anymore. The cards that people have gave me I have always kept! I still have a huge box of cards from like 10 years ago. 😄 I just love to keep them!
I feel the same way as a matter of a fact I'm in the process of moving n I came across all the cards I've gotten over the yrs n I started reading n it just warms my heart all over again. I plan on getting a storage container for them
I keep all of the cards I get too. It's memories to me. All the cards I give I hand make them so when someone goes to throw them out, they'll feel bad about it because I put so much work into it. Then they won't want to throw them out lol
I have cards from 35 years ago...I can't throw them out. Love your channel!!!
LMFAO the singing on the way to each stop kills me 😂😂😂
Here's what you can do with discarded cards, especially Christmas cards:
1. Get a used card.
2. Tear or cut the front part from the back part
3. Throw the back part away.
4. With a pencil, draw a line at the exact middle of the card widthwise.
5. You have made a postcard.
6. On the right side of the line put name & address of recipient.
7. Write a note to your Pal
8. Postage for postcards is cheaper than standard stamps.
8. Drop in mail.
I feel the same way about cards... and clothes...and things in working order...and good toys....give the stuff to Goodwill or Hospice.
I really appreciate you being considerate of others
I agree about the cards. I was just telling my husband that. I keep them and even frame some of them
You amaze me how you save money you are great for your show on tv you got the Voice . keep up with your videos . God bless you and your family
i went dumpster diving min ago found hair straightners with its bag and shoes and card holder x
Well, I'll admit to throwing away cards, but I do keep the special ones. I find so many cards diving though, and you are right...sometimes there are gift cards in them! Same with wallets and purses that get thrown out. Sometimes people leave old gift cards in those too.
The people in your diving route throw out some nice stuff, I gotta say. The cold and the snow must keep everyone inside while you're out diving which is nice too :)
hello hun i just wanted to let u know that you that you inspired me to do the same thing you are doing, times are tough and every little bit helps so thank you sweetie n God bless you hun
The glass jar, maybe you could fix with a bit of resin :) it’ll still have a crack but it’ll be more complete and look like it’s supposed to be there
My husband and i have kept every card we have sent each other for 23 years i have them in a "memory box". Other peoples cards we keep for a while then put in the recycling so they don't go to the landfill. Hi from the uk.
use the front of the cards for scrapbook pages, cutting out the images you want or even taking Christmas cards and making ornaments from the images.
I love watching your channel, you are such a happy soul 💗. As for cards, I keep them for a couple of years at a time, some I'll use if I can, to create my own cards or gift tags.
😊
I agree with you on the card thing especially when sum can cost up to $5.99 or more. I've had people read a card i've just given them and throw it out right in front of me. 😱
That vis sad that people could do something like that. With all the love you put into the cards and they don't even think abot your feelings.
LOL, loved your making up a song as you drove. I have started getting rid of cards if people just sign their names, just keeping those with actual written messages. thanks for the video.
I personally don't like getting store bought cards that are simply signed and throw them out often. However I do keep homemade cards. For some reason knowing there isn't a hundred copies of the exact same card at hallmark makes it feel more genuine.
I think the purpose of a card is to convey whatever message is written on/inside it. Some people will spend a fair amount of time picking out the "perfect" card for a particular person, or writing out a heartfelt message.
I do not, however, see the purpose in hanging on to them once you have read and enjoyed them. At that point, for most people, they just become clutter, as they are rarely (if ever) re-read.
That being said, I know a lot of people feel that same compulsion to keep gift cards that you do, which is the reason I don't often give them anymore.
I tried to keep my kids cards, but after the first 10 yrs I had to let them go. I still have lots but they will never want them. I kept their diaries and I did a journal for each of them when they were growing up. I sat in bed each night and documented the day..Friends, places, good times and bad...all through the elementary years and teenage tears I wrote in their journals at least once a week. They each have one and it is the safety lock box . There are pictures in them through the years, pictures of favorite dolls and toys even clothes, friends ..everything spevial.All their childhood memories. It will be all they need as a adult and auxually hear my voice in their head reading it to them. I have tons of video tape on to DVD. I only keep really special cards.. The journals have entries from me to them telling them how much they mean to me ..I even left all kinds of advice on life's problems......I filled 4 thick journals both sides of the paer. They each have two with their life to date...
You are the first I have seen wearing gloves! Wow, what a great find with that Forever 21 Dress still in the plastic!
I keep cards from my mother, granny and husband. all other cards are displayed through the holidays on the wall above our bar. then they get recycled. I do keep cards from others when they have sentimental value (kind words , words of encouragement, love etc.)
most cards that are recycled are just generic not signed or noted cards.
Yeah, I agree on cards. I was taught to make my own since I was a little girl. If I need a card, I have a stash from garage sales and thrift stores. If I buy a card- it is at the Dollar Tree. They have nice cards for cheap!
