Jamerrill i would absolutely love to send u something for your jar collection from your friends in the great white north that im positive u will totally geek out over :) how would i do that???
It could be you cars security system. We've been dealing with ours not starting. We would have to wait a while and it would start. The problem was not having a remote. Just using the key to open the door caused the security system to think it was been stolen. Ordered remote and had them programmed today.
Try putting the car in neutral and starting it. Don’t ask me why but it works in a pinch. My dads a mechanic and when I was stuck away from home he told me to do this and it works.
Lol. Bless you! My dad was a big used car dealer. Every time I'd have an issue with a car i was driving and take it to the shop-what do you know... Nothing. My dad's response was 'there's a short between the steering wheel and the gas pedal! ' (meaning me ). Now if something likes that happens i just tell my hubby when he looks at it that 'it was a touch of the master's hand' (from the poem by that name)😊
Scam Van>>it's Murphy. Murphy's Law--look for 30 minutes +, ask for help.... and there it is!! Murphy's Law-technical issue for 30+ minutes, stressing, call, & wait for help.......and miracle, it works! We hate Murphy because we don't like looking like we are useless.
I've been so busy catching up on your videos in your membership that I forgot to check RUclips. I'm 3 videos behind on RUclips now. I thought I'd pop into the newest one and let you know how amazing and happy I am with the membership it is truly a gift!!! There is seriously never enough jamerrill!!!! 💝
I absolutely love the little kitty tea set! So adorable! Glad you got it! Great book finds and that school bus kit- looks so fun! I have some of those dollar store planters. I bought a bunch of colored ones online at Dollar Tree last year, as here on the West coast we couldn’t find them! They work great for herbs and flowers! Love the wreath and home decor! All so pretty! The grandma cup and the Peter Rabbit cup, so cute!
I still think you should make a cook book for your views and for your kids I’m sure your kids would love that we all would buy a copy I know you have a website about it but for the people who don’t afford it like me would be very happy with a cook book a hard copy 😊😊 what does every one think!! You have soo many recipes ❤❤I would love it if you did that
Jammerill please let me know what your favorite colors are. I am a crocheter of 40 years and I would love to crochet an afghan for you. I have made so many afghans over the years for family and friends so I need to make one for my friend Jammerill. Love your channel
Scam Van will keep life interesting. If it can't be Lazarus, it might be Judas. So many cute finds! Love that you have made us aware of the Dollar Tree bread deals!
Love seeing your half gallon blue Mason jar. My mom thrifted one years ago and decided later in life to save it to use as her urn. She is buried in that jar.
I had to giggle when you said stupid van. So cute and funny. Praise the Lord for target :-) Many times, the same thing has happened to me. Issues. Hubby/Father gets there and all is well LOL Excited to be back in the Large Table Community. Been watching past community goodies :-)
That happened to my vehicle after I got the heater core replaced. It ends up they broke a clip that holds the shift linkage, and it wasn't all the way in park some times. It doesn't start unless it's in park. Went through starter, fuel pump and fuses before we figured it out.
I love the Peter Rabbit Cup. It is definitely worth $3. I have a few pieces that my Aunt brought me from Germany (her husband was Air Force and they were stationed there for several years) I was probably 4 or 5 when she gave them to me and I’m now 72. They always meant a lot to me.
I would not pay 8$ for a mug. It’s cute, yes! I don’t know where these thrift stores get off charging that much for a donated item!!! ❤ I love thrifting, too!!! You are so beautiful, Jamerill!!! 🥰
I thought I'd share a little adventure that happened at my local value village. I'm in Ontario, Canada, just as a point of reference. I was in shopping a couple of weeks ago with my Sister, I had been looking for an electric fireplace for my basement, it's not finished but I have wanted to just get through the mountain of boxes that is currently taking up 50% of the 1100 sq foot basement and arrange some usable areas like a gym, crafting area with a huge table I have from our previous home etc. I lucked out several years ago when I was doing the same thing in our basement in our last house, I found a floor model white electric fireplace for $300 I was thrilled! (Keep in mind what we pay for just about everything here in canada is 2-4 x more than what it would be in the USA) so, we are scouting around and we came to the furniture section. There sat a beautiful electric fireplace...it was $30.99 ...yup, less than $32 dollars! I was ecstatic!! I quickly called over my Sis and it took all of 3 seconds for us to mutually agree we could paint this beauty and we needed to get a SOLD sticker on her ASAP ! I went up to the cash and explained I'd like to buy the fireplace but my SUV was already loaded down with our days haul! The person on the cash said they could not hold it for me overnight, if I paid for it I had to take it with me right then. I was a bit shocked, I said I would be back first thing in the am when they open and it was now closing time, nope, she was adamant. So, I told my Sis we would be sure to be the first people there when they opened in the morning. Well as life happens my little guy was up most of the night and I was definitely not getting up at the crack of dawn to be 1st in when the store open😢. We made it into the store around noon, on the way into the store I said to my sister, if God wanted me to have this fireplace, it will still be there, and low and behold it WAS !! I was so happy I practically skipped over to it. Then as I got closer I saw something that shocked me. The price sticker now read $109.99. I was so confused. I was tired when we were there the day before, I called my sister over and showed her the sticker, she immediately said "what on earth! It was $30.99 last night" , then she recalled she had a picture of the sticker on her phone as she had measured it to see if it would fit in my SUV. She gets out her phone pulls up the pic and yup!!! The sticker read $30.99. They had increased the price!! I was just in shock, I went over to one of the people working on the cash and explained the situation she said she would take the picture of the price sticker and go talk to the store manager. She returned a few minutes later and said , "sorry they said this is the price and they will not change it" . I was again flabbergasted. I said to her , did she tell them I tried to buy this last nite when it was $30? Yes, she said, they don't care, it's the price they refuse to budge on it. I was now just angry and it felt so incredibly wrong. My sister and I wondered around talking it over and I decided although I felt they were being very unethical, I would buy it anyway. I did realize by taking a closer look it had a lot of damage and was not in very good shape, I did plug it in and it did work. So, we rounded up our other things and I went to the self check out, as I was standing there a lady recognized my Sister and I from the previous night and came up and asked if I ended up buying the fireplace? I said yes, but that I was very disappointed to see that they had increased the price over night by over $70 dollars. She said "WHAT ???" , I then explained what had happened and showed her the new sticker on the fireplace and told her what happened with the other sales associate who went to the back and what the managers said (she told me talked to four managers). The woman was visibly upset. She asked if she could take my sisters phone for a minute and go back to talk to them one more time, we said sure but we felt there was no point really, she said "we will see about that" , and off she went. She came back about 5 mins later with a manager. The manager addresses me and says she is deeply sorry for the "confusion" and "of course I can have the fireplace for the price I saw the night before" , she was extremely apologetic and said she was very sorry this was not dealt with properly the 1st time I inquired about the price. The manager made out a manual slip / bill with the new price and wrote her name on a card and handed it to me stating "please, if you ever have any issues what so ever in the store be sure to ask for me or my assistant" and gave me there name. She left and I said to the sales associate who had gone to the back "how on earth did you manage to do that?" ...She said "well I just said that I felt it would not look very good for our store if the customer decided to post this story to her social media accounts and point out how we had changed the price on an item she tried to buy at the lower price and then we increased the price by a lot and then refused to lower it when she came back to purchase it", she said they all immediately said " oh, well, maybe we should give it to her for the lower price", and then the most senior manager came out to try and smooth things over with me. I was very appreciative that the woman had gone to bat for me, it was a really crummy of them to have done what they did in the 1st place. I again thanked this lovely lady and then my sister and I tried to fit it into the back of my SUV in the pouring rain. Nope! Would not fit! 😅 so, a call to my hubby and he came and took it apart and no problem getting it into his wagon. As we were trying to load it up in the rain the two young men that were helping in the loading area asked me "oh, were you the lady who wanted to buy this last night and leave it here? I said yup, that is me, and I told them they wouldn't let me. They both said " wow, that is really awful...we do that ALL the time for people who need to come back with a different car". Ok, now I was really miffed. What was it about me that they disliked so much they would not do for me what they have apparently done so many other times. Then they asked me if I got it for the lower price? They said they were both shocked to see that they re priced it in the morning to over $100 from the original $30. I said yes that someone went to bat for me and they took it back to the original price. They both said that they had never seen them do something like that and that all the staff felt it was really a crummy thing to do. Long story -even longer, bottom line. Most of the thrift stores today are not non profits and their CEO's make millions, value village is one of the worst. They do make donations to charities but those numbers are closely guarded and not made public. I got my fireplace and a story and the real story here is the kindness of a total stranger who just wanted to stand up for the right thing. That truly made my heart full and I am now looking forward to painting and fixing up my 30 dollar fireplace and giving it new life!
@@makeuplover6852 Boy are you right. My friends brother is the CEO for a Children's Hospital Thrift Store with several locations. He is a multi millionaire with 5 fancy sports cars and an elaborate vacation home. People need to be made aware of these scams. It stinks that they can get away with this!
That was fun! Thanks for taking us along and showing us your haul. I hope all the kinks get worked out of your van soon without you having to spend a lot on it.
Oh that darn van!!! So sorry you are having so much trouble with it. That kitty tea set you found is adorable. I was thinking to myself when I saw you first looking at, yes that would come home with me. Had to laugh when I seen it your cart in the next shot. I hope you and your kiddos enjoy using it. Thank you for taking us along on your adventure. I enjoy these shopping trips so much.
i remember many many moons ago when the children were young and our vehicles weren't perfect. like starting the station wagon by putting a bobby pin in the carburetor, or putting 70# of air in a tire or the donut tire go flat also, etc etc. we had some fun times...kept the Good Lord busy. when i look back and see all the times we were really blessed...and kept safe.
They always tell us to be prepared, and to keep your cool and positive energy. Well done, Jamerrill. I doubt I would be as collected in the same situation. I'm future I'll remind myself to 'be Jamerrill'. :)
There's always something to be thankful for, right? We bought a Ford Edge from a friend/co-worker of hubby. Low mileage, supposed to be a great deal. We drove it about 3 weeks and it was in the shop for like 8 weeks. We lovingly referred to it as simply "the lemon". Thankfully we were about to sell it to the local Ford dealership for what we originally paid for it, less a couple thousand we put into it. And we bought a brand new Hyundai. 😂
Fun day even though scam va decided to act up again. Loved the tea pot set. Sometimes you just need something that makes you smile. Thanks for taking us along!
For Bed Bath Beyond, I am sure you are not late. They ship out all of the good stuff (expensive), leaving behind the other stuff and only mark it down 40% off. Course they marked it up originally 100% so they're still profiting. No worries though. At least you tried! Funny story, hubby and I got a flat tire in front of Hobby Lobby. So I had to shop for like an hour! Poor me! ha! :)
Wow! I love that you taught us about the Mason Jars or Ball jars. I never realized how easy it is to date them. Thank You so much for that information.
So frustrating!! I drive a 12 passenger van by myself all the time. My only vehicle anymore. Of course now, I have a kiddo driving and another anytime. I love my big ole van (Mable) though. 😂
My hubs is a car guy and he says Honda's are the best. They are cheaper, last forever and are easy to fix. We get used Honda's for all the kids and they run forever. I have a used Pilot that I love.
The flower packets from Dollar Tree are only 1% seed and the rest is filler to make it easier to plant those tiny seeds, BUT they do germinate well. Use one package in a hanging basket for success.
Ooowh Jamerrill- l would have grabbed some of those pretty hair bands in the dollar store 😊 Such a fun thrifting haul 👏🧡 Hope you get to the bottom of the problems with the car- and it becomes reliable. 🥰🕊💕
I don't know how many times in our 56 years of marriage that I've told my husband the car won't start, or won't do this or that and it never fails that it starts right up for him.
I noticed that you have a lot of appliances such as your griddle pans. The one thing that will help you with storing them is to save your TP paper rolls and fold your cords and put them through the TP roll and they are not all over the place. A good example is your small hand mixers, instead of wrapping your cord around the mixer that can damage the cord you put it into a TP roll
Hi Jamerrill! Always enjoy your videos, especially the thrifting and shopping videos. My mother fostered my love of reading by reading to us and taking us to the library. I didn’t discover thrift stores until several years ago when a friend introduced me to all the treasures. Thank you for all you do! 🥰
You handled the car snafoo with ease as usual. There is nothing that stresses me out more than car trouble. It truly brings out the worse in me. Thank Goodness my Hubby is the upkeep guy.
I have to just say that I am so jealous of where you live. You have Sharp Shopper, you have such good thrift stores..none of that in my neck of the woods in Ohio which is unfortunate as I do love a good thrift store!
When the BBB by us closed, I was much the same as you. Extremely Underwhelmed. Said 40-70% and only saw 40%. It also was cleared out of most of the good stuff. (IMO). I am so impressed by how organized your thrift store was! So very glad you and Amelia were in a safe place when the van decided not to start! It seems you were meant to shop at Target for all those great cup deals 😊
The Peter Rabbit cup is part of the classic Beatrix Potter book series. I had all the stories read to me as a child and I've read them to my children as well. Look them up and see the history.
Hi Jamerrill 🤗 I'm so glad the scam van started, and it's home. Yes, your right it was good it happened in a good location..that had always been one of my fears. I'm in love with your new doormat! Gotta get one 😊
I had a 2011 Dodge Caravan that had intermittent starting issues. After trial and error, it turned out to be a problem with the TIPM, which is pretty common with some Dodge models. Instead of replacing the module, which was about a thousand-dollar repair, we used a bypass cable, which worked like a charm in my van. The Town and Country is a lot like the Caravan, so that might be something to look into.
Oh my goodness! I had planned to clean my house and I was just getting ready to do it when your video came through. When I saw thrifting shopping all the things oh my goodness I had to drop everything and watch your video. This is my favorite video! Lol okay now I can go clean. Loved! Loved this video.😊
I have a truck that every time it hit a bump, when I parked it and came back, it wouldn't start. Figured out it was a feature that stopped you from starting it after what it thought was an accident. There was a reset button under the dashboard by the passenger door. I had it disconnected. All I needed was my daughter, who worked nights, to have to get out of the truck, go around to the passenger side to get to that reset button. It was near 80 in Montana on Monday, now I'm looking at a foot of heavy wet snow!
Son was excited BBB was advertising huge discounts. He was redoing his bathroom. He came away saying he was certain that IF there were discounts they jacked the prices up, before the discount. He purchased ZERO. This mama raised that man right!
I have also had that happen to me. I was moving our babysitter and her husband to be's belongings into their future home for when they got home from their honeymoon. It died thankfully AFTER I had moved their items between three different cities. After we were done they treated me to dinner and when we went to leave my truck wouldn't start. It was easier for my husband and just to send the tow truck for it and towed it to one of our shops we own. The babysitter was kind enough to bring me home.
I’ve had that same issue with a van where it wouldn’t start for me but when hubby came, started right away! I think it was that my key needed a new battery? And I absolutely LOVE the cat tea pot!!!
Thanks for sharing another great video with us! I have to give you a compliment on how great you look today! Your hair is always so beautiful! I was wondering if you would give us an update on your hair growth? It's been a while since you got the hair extensions and shared with us. You're absolutely glowing today! 😊
Sorry the scam van was giving you problems! Just like taking a sick kid to the Dr. And them not acting sick! I love the Peter rabbit mug! I got a cute Peter rabbit decorative egg from goodwill for $10 and love it!
Hi my friend great stuff I love the kitty set I do collect teapots and yours is beautiful I particularly like the planters they will look so pretty once the flowers bloom 🥰🌹
Sounds like a car I had a long time ago ! It wouldn’t crank,hubby would come after 20-30 minutes of waiting….it would crank.🤦♀️🤦♀️ We had many ideas so here’s 2 ….check the starter ( sometimes it kept running after cranking (( it would overheat)) and the brain box needs replacing ( didn’t help😭) .We finally sold it for scrap and they drove it until it went dead on them too. It was a good car for a while . Good luck finding out what’s going wrong with your van. Very nice haul even with the van mishap.
Not sure how your kiddos feel about pimento cheese but I recently found this recipe and it is delicious! It’s really good on a sandwich but if your feeling all kinds of crazy it’s good as a dip with tortilla chips! 8oz cream cheese softened 2 cups extra sharp cheddar 2 cups Monterey Jack 1 cup mayo 4oz jar pimentos drained 1 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper
BBB in Canada is closing as well. I went in early in the store closing and the store was already 1/2 empty. I suspect some brands took back their stock rather than see it sold at massive sale prices. When I went the first week, what was available was only 10% off. Not sure I'll bother checking again. Love your thrift stores, we just don't have the volume or quality where I live.

Jamerrill i would absolutely love to send u something for your jar collection from your friends in the great white north that im positive u will totally geek out over :) how would i do that???
I can’t believe you left the tea pot warmers 😊
Which thrift store did you go to for the couches?
It could be you cars security system. We've been dealing with ours not starting. We would have to wait a while and it would start. The problem was not having a remote. Just using the key to open the door caused the security system to think it was been stolen. Ordered remote and had them programmed today.

Scam Van>>it's Murphy.
Murphy's Law--look for 30 minutes +, ask for help.... and there it is!!

I LOVE TO HEAR THIS!! 💗💗💗
I swear there's nothing more stressful than a vehicle that does what it wants when it wants to do it. You handled that like a trooper.
I'm so sorry you are still having trouble with your van. My wish for you is that the van becomes a big mama blessing to you.🚐
WoW! Your thrift store is wonderful. I can tell it has workers that care about their work and place of work.
Bless your heart 🙏for that van. Gods got you . PRAISE GOD. And those .25 cent bananas 😊 Target.
Those afghans were a very good price. The cost of the yarn alone was probably $15 to $20. Love the blue with the variegated yarn.
I was just thinking how much I always love your thrift hauls!
😊 thank you
I absolutely love the little kitty tea set! So adorable! Glad you got it! Great book finds and that school bus kit- looks so fun! I have some of those dollar store planters.

I have been wanting those planters too! I can't find them at any of my stores. What an awesome haul!!! So many cute things
Great haul! I wish They sold that brand of bread at my Dollar Tree. They sell some brand I’ve never seen before
I still think you should make a cook book for your views and for your kids I’m sure your kids would love that we all would buy a copy I know you have a website about it but for the people who don’t afford it like me would be very happy with a cook book a hard copy 😊😊 what does every one think!!

lol for sure Judas!
When I buy garden gloves I buy them all the same pattern. That way when I ruin/lose one I still have a set.
Great idea!
Love seeing your half gallon blue Mason jar. My mom thrifted one years ago and decided later in life to save it to use as her urn. She is buried in that jar.
Now I have to go look at my jars. Lol!!

You can always use a command strip for your wreath and then attach it with a ribbon. You could also decorate it per season; it's super cute!
That happened to my vehicle after I got the heater core replaced. It ends up they broke a clip that holds the shift linkage, and it wasn't all the way in park some times. It doesn't start unless it's in park. Went through starter, fuel pump and fuses before we figured it out.
Shop for all the books reading is so fundamental and the adventures of the mind while reading is beyond. Books are the best

So, we rounded up our other things and I went to the self check out, as I was standing there a lady recognized my Sister and I from the previous night and came up and asked if I ended up buying the fireplace? I said yes, but that I was very disappointed to see that they had increased the price over night by over $70 dollars. She said "WHAT ???" , I then explained what had happened and showed her the new sticker on the fireplace and told her what happened with the other sales associate who went to the back and what the managers said (she told me talked to four managers). The woman was visibly upset. She asked if she could take my sisters phone for a minute and go back to talk to them one more time, we said sure but we felt there was no point really, she said "we will see about that" , and off she went. She came back about 5 mins later with a manager. The manager addresses me and says she is deeply sorry for the "confusion" and "of course I can have the fireplace for the price I saw the night before" , she was extremely apologetic and said she was very sorry this was not dealt with properly the 1st time I inquired about the price. The manager made out a manual slip / bill with the new price and wrote her name on a card and handed it to me stating "please, if you ever have any issues what so ever in the store be sure to ask for me or my assistant" and gave me there name. She left and I said to the sales associate who had gone to the back "how on earth did you manage to do that?" ...She said "well I just said that I felt it would not look very good for our store if the customer decided to post this story to her social media accounts and point out how we had changed the price on an item she tried to buy at the lower price and then we increased the price by a lot and then refused to lower it when she came back to purchase it", she said they all immediately said " oh, well, maybe we should give it to her for the lower price", and then the most senior manager came out to try and smooth things over with me. I was very appreciative that the woman had gone to bat for me, it was a really crummy of them to have done what they did in the 1st place.
I again thanked this lovely lady and then my sister and I tried to fit it into the back of my SUV in the pouring rain. Nope! Would not fit! 😅 so, a call to my hubby and he came and took it apart and no problem getting it into his wagon.
As we were trying to load it up in the rain the two young men that were helping in the loading area asked me "oh, were you the lady who wanted to buy this last night and leave it here? I said yup, that is me, and I told them they wouldn't let me. They both said " wow, that is really awful...we do that ALL the time for people who need to come back with a different car". Ok, now I was really miffed. What was it about me that they disliked so much they would not do for me what they have apparently done so many other times. Then they asked me if I got it for the lower price? They said they were both shocked to see that they re priced it in the morning to over $100 from the original $30. I said yes that someone went to bat for me and they took it back to the original price. They both said that they had never seen them do something like that and that all the staff felt it was really a crummy thing to do.
Long story -even longer, bottom line. Most of the thrift stores today are not non profits and their CEO's make millions, value village is one of the worst. They do make donations to charities but those numbers are closely guarded and not made public. I got my fireplace and a story and the real story here is the kindness of a total stranger who just wanted to stand up for the right thing. That truly made my heart full and I am now looking forward to painting and fixing up my 30 dollar fireplace and giving it new life!
@@makeuplover6852 wow! That is just crazy! I'm so glad they made it right for you but what a roller coaster to get that darned thing!
@@makeuplover6852 Boy are you right. My friends brother is the CEO for a Children's Hospital Thrift Store with several locations. He is a multi millionaire with 5 fancy sports cars and an elaborate vacation home. People need to be made aware of these scams. It stinks that they can get away with this!
You are just the sweetest family vlogger on social media. I love your positive attitude. Thank you for sharing your life with us ❤
Love the wreath on the hood. Get some forsythia stems at Hobby Lobby and stick them in the wreath. Change out the stems with the seasons.
That was fun! Thanks for taking us along and showing us your haul. I hope all the kinks get worked out of your van soon without you having to spend a lot on it.
Oh that darn van!!! So sorry you are having so much trouble with it. That kitty tea set you found is adorable. I was thinking to myself when I saw you first looking at, yes that would come home with me. Had to laugh when I seen it your cart in the next shot. I hope you and your kiddos enjoy using it. Thank you for taking us along on your adventure. I enjoy these shopping trips so much.
i remember many many moons ago when the children were young and our vehicles weren't perfect. like starting the station wagon by putting a bobby pin in the carburetor, or putting 70# of air in a tire or the donut tire go flat also, etc etc. we had some fun times...kept the Good Lord busy. when i look back and see all the times we were really blessed...and kept safe.
You need to teach us how to be calm and at peace even in the midst of the storm... Your so chill it's unbelievable
They always tell us to be prepared, and to keep your cool and positive energy. Well done, Jamerrill. I doubt I would be as collected in the same situation. I'm future I'll remind myself to 'be Jamerrill'. :)
I just can’t believe what a positive and relaxed woman you are even when things go wrong # van aka Lemon 😂❤
It’s just because I have been through a mega lot of things in life so I’m broken in pretty well 😜
There's always something to be thankful for, right? We bought a Ford Edge from a friend/co-worker of hubby. Low mileage, supposed to be a great deal. We drove it about 3 weeks and it was in the shop for like 8 weeks. We lovingly referred to it as simply "the lemon". Thankfully we were about to sell it to the local Ford dealership for what we originally paid for it, less a couple thousand we put into it. And we bought a brand new Hyundai. 😂
You mentioned Lazarus and then later your van started. I laughed so hard. Maybe keep calling it Lazarus. 🚙
Fun day even though scam va decided to act up again. Loved the tea pot set. Sometimes you just need something that makes you smile. Thanks for taking us along!
For Bed Bath Beyond, I am sure you are not late. They ship out all of the good stuff (expensive), leaving behind the other stuff and only mark it down 40% off. Course they marked it up originally 100% so they're still profiting. No worries though. At least you tried! Funny story, hubby and I got a flat tire in front of Hobby Lobby. So I had to shop for like an hour! Poor me! ha! :)
Wow! I love that you taught us about the Mason Jars or Ball jars. I never realized how easy it is to date them. Thank You so much for that information.
Thanks for sharing ♥️.. blessings to you and your beautiful family 🤗
Wow what a great thrift store!!!
It always happens! Whenever I had car troubles, it was absolutely fine when husband came to help! Made me o mad!
My BBB closed last year & I made a lap around the store & right back out!
So frustrating!!
I drive a 12 passenger van by myself all the time. My only vehicle anymore. Of course now, I have a kiddo driving and another anytime. I love my big ole van (Mable) though. 😂
Oh my gosh that kitty tea set is so stinking cute.💚
Thank you, we’ve been loving it so much!
Love the tea set I also do canning jars ,crocks and I can’t pass up an iron skillet 🍳! Thank you taking us shopping 🛒🎈🌟🌈🌟🎈
Love, love , love the kitty family tea pot set !! Adorable!!
My hubs is a car guy and he says Honda's are the best. They are cheaper, last forever and are easy to fix. We get used Honda's for all the kids and they run forever. I have a used Pilot that I love.
The flower packets from Dollar Tree are only 1% seed and the rest is filler to make it easier to plant those tiny seeds, BUT they do germinate well. Use one package in a hanging basket for success.
I have that club aluminum pot ($25) and lid in that same blue color, got it from my Mom and she got it as a wedding gift in 1964!
Ooowh Jamerrill- l would have grabbed some of those pretty hair bands in the dollar store 😊 Such a fun thrifting haul 👏🧡 Hope you get to the bottom of the problems with the car- and it becomes reliable. 🥰🕊💕
Great finds!!! Seriously sell that scam van before something worse happens. Yikes! Glad all is well on this adventure! Hugs Em ❤❤❤❤
I love the claw clips for my h@ir... Dollar Tree has great things.
I don't know how many times in our 56 years of marriage that I've told my husband the car won't start, or won't do this or that and it never fails that it starts right up for him.
Tree of Life is a great book that I still use with my 12 and 13 year olds. Great find!!
You are such a great bargain hunter I could never find the deals you find. God bless you and your family.
40% off isn't a going out of business sale....that's an everyday sale at Hobby Lobby.
I noticed that you have a lot of appliances such as your griddle pans. The one thing that will help you with storing them is to save your TP paper rolls and fold your cords and put them through the TP roll and they are not all over the place. A good example is your small hand mixers, instead of wrapping your cord around the mixer that can damage the cord you put it into a TP roll
Hi Jamerrill! Always enjoy your videos, especially the thrifting and shopping videos. My mother fostered my love of reading by reading to us and taking us to the library. I didn’t discover thrift stores until several years ago when a friend introduced me to all the treasures. Thank you for all you do! 🥰
You handled the car snafoo with ease as usual. There is nothing that stresses me out more than car trouble. It truly brings out the worse in me. Thank Goodness my Hubby is the upkeep guy.
I have to just say that I am so jealous of where you live. You have Sharp Shopper, you have such good thrift stores..none of that in my neck of the woods in Ohio which is unfortunate as I do love a good thrift store!
Always making the best of all situations!! Much love Jamerrill!!❤
When the BBB by us closed, I was much the same as you. Extremely Underwhelmed. Said 40-70% and only saw 40%. It also was cleared out of most of the good stuff. (IMO). I am so impressed by how organized your thrift store was! So very glad you and Amelia were in a safe place when the van decided not to start! It seems you were meant to shop at Target for all those great cup deals 😊
Thanks for the adventure ❤
Thanks for watching! 💗
That looked like a Beatrix Potter cup and if it was, it was well worth $3.00❤
The kitty mom teapot is so darling. Great find.
The Peter Rabbit cup is part of the classic Beatrix Potter book series. I had all the stories read to me as a child and I've read them to my children as well. Look them up and see the history.
Awesome thrift store!
Maybe you can put a large magnet on the wreath to hang it? Nice haul today!
Hi Jamerrill 🤗 I'm so glad the scam van started, and it's home. Yes, your right it was good it happened in a good location..that had always been one of my fears.
I'm in love with your new doormat! Gotta get one 😊
I had a 2011 Dodge Caravan that had intermittent starting issues. After trial and error, it turned out to be a problem with the TIPM, which is pretty common with some Dodge models. Instead of replacing the module, which was about a thousand-dollar repair, we used a bypass cable, which worked like a charm in my van. The Town and Country is a lot like the Caravan, so that might be something to look into.
I love the song while looking at books. This is my new book shopping anthem!😂
Oh my goodness! I had planned to clean my house and I was just getting ready to do it when your video came through. When I saw thrifting shopping all the things oh my goodness I had to drop everything and watch your video. This is my favorite video! Lol okay now I can go clean. Loved! Loved this video.😊
You are always so positive :)
Books are awesome!!!!
Thank you for buying the afghans. I know how much work goes into them.
“I don’t make ‘em, but I save ‘em”. Yes ❤
Sorry about your van 😢 As someone not in the US I love seeing your shopping hauls - the stores are fascinating 💛
Our Goodwill has gotten more expensive than buying new on some things. 😢
The bed, bath, and beyond is closing in Las Cruces, NM, too😢
That kitty tea pot caught my eye right away! I would have walked out with it too- I have 3 little girls who adore cats
I have a truck that every time it hit a bump, when I parked it and came back, it wouldn't start. Figured out it was a feature that stopped you from starting it after what it thought was an accident. There was a reset button under the dashboard by the passenger door. I had it disconnected. All I needed was my daughter, who worked nights, to have to get out of the truck, go around to the passenger side to get to that reset button. It was near 80 in Montana on Monday, now I'm looking at a foot of heavy wet snow!
Son was excited BBB was advertising huge discounts. He was redoing his bathroom. He came away saying he was certain that IF there were discounts they jacked the prices up, before the discount.
He purchased ZERO. This mama raised that man right!
You are such a beautiful soul. ❤ I’m sorry to hear about your van. Hope you get it sorted out soon.
I have also had that happen to me. I was moving our babysitter and her husband to be's belongings into their future home for when they got home from their honeymoon. It died thankfully AFTER I had moved their items between three different cities. After we were done they treated me to dinner and when we went to leave my truck wouldn't start. It was easier for my husband and just to send the tow truck for it and towed it to one of our shops we own. The babysitter was kind enough to bring me home.
🇦🇺Canning jars, how I wish! I get my canning jars 12 pints for A$31 and 12 Quarts jars for A$44
Closest one to us is 45 minutes away but not closing. Loving good deals! I love how your always drink half full instead of empty.
Honestly, you are the gift I needed today!🎉
I’ve had that same issue with a van where it wouldn’t start for me but when hubby came, started right away! I think it was that my key needed a new battery? And I absolutely LOVE the cat tea pot!!!
Thanks for sharing another great video with us! I have to give you a compliment on how great you look today! Your hair is always so beautiful! I was wondering if you would give us an update on your hair growth? It's been a while since you got the hair extensions and shared with us. You're absolutely glowing today! 😊
She posted one very recently and went in depth about her hair.
@Sher Bear ok thank you. I must have missed it since my son was having kidney surgery.
Our goodwill’s have gotten expensive also. Mason jars are more expensive than new. It’s terrible
Sorry the scam van was giving you problems! Just like taking a sick kid to the Dr. And them not acting sick! I love the Peter rabbit mug! I got a cute Peter rabbit decorative egg from goodwill for $10 and love it!
Hi my friend great stuff I love the kitty set I do collect teapots and yours is beautiful I particularly like the planters they will look so pretty once the flowers bloom 🥰🌹
Sounds like a car I had a long time ago ! It wouldn’t crank,hubby would come after 20-30 minutes of waiting….it would crank.🤦♀️🤦♀️ We had many ideas so here’s 2 ….check the starter ( sometimes it kept running after cranking (( it would overheat)) and the brain box needs replacing ( didn’t help😭) .We finally sold it for scrap and they drove it until it went dead on them too. It was a good car for a while . Good luck finding out what’s going wrong with your van.
Very nice haul even with the van mishap.
Love the kitty set my Mom had it back in the 90s it from avon
These titles… 😂
i love watching your videos while I work. They keep me calm even when guests/customers are being very mean to me! ♥️
Glad you like them! 🤣
Our bed bath and beyond went 90% the last week. Gobs of linens. A friend of mine got about $900 worth of stuff for under $100.
Not sure how your kiddos feel about pimento cheese but I recently found this recipe and it is delicious!
It’s really good on a sandwich but if your feeling all kinds of crazy it’s good as a dip with tortilla chips!
8oz cream cheese softened
2 cups extra sharp cheddar
2 cups Monterey Jack
1 cup mayo
4oz jar pimentos drained
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
My truck has done the not starting thing a couple times. It usually starts in 5 minutes to a couple hours like nothing happened before.....
Love the wreath💞
Great haul and video!
BBB in Canada is closing as well. I went in early in the store closing and the store was already 1/2 empty. I suspect some brands took back their stock rather than see it sold at massive sale prices. When I went the first week, what was available was only 10% off. Not sure I'll bother checking again.
Love your thrift stores, we just don't have the volume or quality where I live.
Fun Fun Fun shopping with you today. Thanks for sharing. 😊❤🙏.
Ms. Ruby
