SHE FOUND 300 GIFT CARDS- HOW MUCH MONEY DID SHE GET?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 янв 2019
- I find hundreds of free gift cards from Big Corporate Stores every month and then I cash in the remaining balance for cash or products. I show you how I do it on my videos.
once a coworker stole $20 from my purse but at lunch I found a gift card outside of a subway for $50. Jesus loves me so much!
Jesus had nothing to do with it. God abhors the love of money.
Exactly. The love of money is the root of all evil. @@janelord3061
My husband bought some fishing waders on eBay and found a prepaid credit card in. It had almost 5000 pounds sterling on it so he got in touch with the seller. The sellers wife told us she has been saving money on the card and hid it in the waders, not thinking to tell him as she didn't know he was selling them. She was beyond grateful to get it back.
You are such a special person to give it back 💖
You’re so amazing for giving it back
How thoughtful of you to return. Wish more people did things like this.
Well done to you xxx
Those are the kind of stories the news needs to report on God Bless your friend
Poor Steph, VERY time consuming. Not for me, I'm retired, but to see the joy, in your face, its Damn well worth it. I'm going to watch all, your videos. When I find someone, I enjoy, I get your play list, and start from the oldest. Thanks for making this old man, smile.
Thanks for watching our silly videos we really appreciate it 🙏😊
OMG! Thanks you guys! Just found $240.00 on an Ulta card!!
After watching your videos on RUclips I started collecting the gift cards. Over the past 3 months I've accumulated 200+ So I finally sat down to check them and THE FOURTH ONE I CHECKED... BAM! $240 BUCKS!
Can you believe it? I can't and I've ran the card 3 more times just to make sure! Thanks again and I totally enjoy your vids!
Where do u collect
She probably works there
Tina Meeks Hiller Where did you find it??
I used to work in a thrift store, and I found several gift cards in old purses!!Cold water creek-$15.00, Lowe's -$11.30, Walmart-$15.00
Our motto: "GOOD DIG!"
Outstanding ❤️😎
I’ve never dumpster dived but I have found a $7 target gift card in my wallet that I thought had nothing on it.
Imagine all the people who forget about gift cards with money on them.. So much money!
That’s what I consider to be bonus bucks. I’ve had it happen several times, excluding finding coins in the car park.
•• US$20 on the ground twice
•• US$15 in the inner zip pocket of my ski parka
•• US$250 in the armrest covers when I was cleaning and detailing my mum’s car before she sold it; she had forgotten that she put it in there for emergency money whenever we were travelling. The best part, she gave me half!
I found a $25 Sephora gift card by a garage at the mall and a $5 Starbucks gift card at Costco😂
OUTSTANDING EMILY 😎
StevenSteph Resale Killers wtf how
Smiling
I would love to have all the “bad” cards! I use a guitar pick punch on them and make picks for summer music camp students. They all have a value one way or another...
Where'd you get the guitar pick punch? My husband's a music teacher and could use something like that.
@@realetreasures6443 amazon
You could always contact a local store- I’m sure they wouldn’t mind setting the used gift cards aside (at least here I don’t think they would mind at certain stores)... way better than going to the dump
Whatttttttttt !
So cool! ❤️🙌🏼
That's awesome. I don't care if I have 30 cents left on a gift card, I use it.
Me too!!! :)
Debra Murray
I do too- even if it’s 30 cents it’s like using a coupon.... saving money is saving money 😊
@@erinekoepke3327 Good to save money.
@Deborah Davis Heck yes, use it all.
amzn.to/2VFJfw5 Amazon link to the Plastic Razorblade thing I love..and the grabbers we use amzn.to/2Q2zc1l
Awesome job Steph !!! I have been collecting them recently too since I've always seen u grabbing them. I gota decent stack so far so maybe I'll start checking some
Very nice job👌👌👌
StevenSteph Resale Killers HITHISIS TINA MARKS WIFE I WASJUST. JOKING. YOU DID ALL THE WORK HESAID HE WAS KEEPING IT I TOLD HIM HANDS OFF LOL UNDERSTAND
Tina LOL oh I get it! Hahahahha you’re right! Hands off my cash! 😆
woweeeeeeeee
Relationship goals, they are life long partners for real ❤❤🙏🏾👌🏾
Anyone from the UK love watching these dumpster diving videos
Since 2005, $45.7 billion has gone unused on gift card balances.
WOW 😮 That’s money the stores keep!
@@StevenStephResaleKillersThat is why stores love gift cards, they make money upfront from the gift card purchase and they make money from the unused balance. I recently found a $100 Regal Cinema gift card, the hubby and I enjoyed a few movie date nights with it..🤗💗
Ain't no shame in the finding game! 😉
XTINA just so you know stores don’t make anything from the unused balance on the gc unless it’s spent google escheated gift cards it’s a real thing (:
Wow!
Alot of ppl here lose $ cuz once it gets so low it can't be used. Thing's with tax and all are higher than what's left n even a pennie can't be used
At my store that I work at, we check the balance on “thrown away” gift cards.
They’re actually recycled gift cards customers ask to throw away.
Anyways, we check the balance before recycling them. And if there is a balance we donate it to CMN! I love that we do this.
What is CMN?
@@rudistorm3348 Children's Miracle Network i think!
I love that your store does this. So many stores would just keep it.
That's a great thing to do I would say a lot more stories do it but then we wouldn't find them however if you've got a whole bunch of them take him there cash him in and then donate it to their organization why not it's
IT'S A GOOD THING TO DO
Skyler Laird wow!! That is wonderful! How do you guys do it? Cash out the gift card at the register and then donate the cash?
My grandfather tells me, “ a quarter there and a quarter there and sooner or later you have a dollar.”
Yes! 😎
I found a visa gift card on the ground out side of Wal-Mart I checked it and it had 400 on the card I tried to find the owner but could not I spent 340 on it for the children's charity in Ohio I got them over 300 items from dollar tree and wrapped them all and took them in
Carrie Boyer that’s dope
that’s amazing!
Wow!!! That is SO amazing! Love what you did with the money too!! How sweet!!! ❤️😍
Thank you, Carrie Boyer!
Carrie Boyer
Good on you ... to put other's before your self ... a RARE happening in today's world ... congratulations for your kindness to other's.
WOW!! That’s amazing way to go!!! My girlfriend just started watching your channel a couple months ago and she decided to dumpster dive and resell just like you guys and she found soo much nice stuff !! Found new makeup , makeup case from ulta name brand clothes , games , candles you name it she even found 250 dollar retro Jordan’s that turned out to be my size !! Thank you guys for posting this to RUclips now she will probably be collecting cards too she also sold $300 dollars worth of stuff she didn’t want on offer up thanks guys without you we would never have thought there would be amazing stuff in dumpsters she’s obsessed hahaha 😂
A friend of mine was on vacation and went to a Thrift Store and bought a wallet and inside a secret pocket she found 2 $100 bills...
Scorrrrre. !
I found a wallet in a bathroom stall at a grocery. I looked at the I.D. And her face made me turn it in..bUt..did the store employee actually call her and return it? Do it yourself and I bet u get a reward and be sure they get it. I should have got a receipt and asked for a call from the owner.
*Sorry. I have a hard time with these tiny ph keyboards.
i found 20 bucks in a goodwill purse before when i used to buy and resell on ebay
That's Amazing
I bought a pair of shoes for Halloween at Goodwill and it had $80 rolled up in the toe of the one shoe. The shoes were $2.
I love how they are so grateful , like when they get a $0.01 cent
EDIT:WOW! Thank you for the likes💜
Izabella, those pennies do add up in due time and OMG I love their energy towards what they find.
@@RosyFox1992 no they don't u can't transfer money from one card to another theirs nonthinf they can do it with 1 cent
Supryan you’d be thankful when you buy something online and you find out your short the final payment by .01 cent.
@@RosyFox1992 yep agreed
Hahahaha 🤣🤣 when you check a huge stack of zeros and then one hits it’s fun whether it’s a penny or $10! Hahaha 😆
I found $100 Starbucks Gift Card once...lets just say my wife was soooo happy
Nekro Alvarez wow!!!!! That would be my dream find!!! 🎉🎉
I found a $50 Starbucks but it got cleared by the next day
So 3 free coffees?
Reminds me of the young couple who bought a sofa at a thrift store and wound up finding $42,000 inside of it. It turned out the the previous owner was an elderly lady who over the years had used the sofa as a big piggy bank and she eventually passed away before she was able to retrieve the money. The daughter donated the sofa to the thrift store. I commend the young couples honesty but I am not sure I could have been as honest>>>
Yeah, I am the kind of person who walks back to the store when I notice they made a mistake and I paid way too much but with that amount of money I'm not sure I would have been that honest either. o_O
commend?
They might've thought it was drug money
Finders keepers and it's yours nobody elses
note2owns can you imagine how many of those sofas and mattresses stuffed with money have been taken to the dump when someone passes away? My grandpa told my dad he hid money (silver) in the walls of the trailer they lived in! They never knew if they found it all! 😱
I found a $25 Walmart gift card in my apartment complex trash and gave it to my daughter who was a single parent at the time and she used it to get some groceries for her and her baby boy.
That is Awesome 🙏❤️
StevenSteph Resale Killers yeah
Great mom and grandma! You are the GRANDEST! I am about to be a grand mother...both of our daughters are pregnant!
@@monaharper3603 Congratulations! You are blessed!
Mooooooola $$$$$$$
You have the most beautiful smile and your eyes dance when you smile. This grandma likes to watch you two kids. So much fun
I found an unmarked envelope with five $100 bills in a book I bought at 1/2 Price Books. I felt so guilty when I found it -hoping it wasn’t someone’s rent or Christmas. So I payed it forward by buying breakfasts for retired military servicemen, AAA driver who is out there rain, sleet and snow, and others who I thought needed a pick me up. It feels good to pay it forward!
i remember when I was in the salvation army back in 2005 I was sorting through clothes and I looked in a wallet inside a purse and found a folded up 100 and a folded up 50 dollar bill. instead of leaving the drug program and buying drugs I took my girl out to eat and brought her to the movies. we had a great time with out drugs
Paul Davis Respect. Keep at it, One day at a time.
Just last weekend, while at a Marshalls Department Store in Atlanta, I found a Macys gift card in the cart--someone must've thought it was after holidays trash and they left it. On that card, my first ever, I found $27.63!
I have a big jar with all the pennies I find on the ground, call it my PENNIES FROM HEAVEN jar and I started it the day my Dad passed in 2013. I've never counted it but it's quite full and i always thank my Dad when I find change on the ground.
Awe Pennies from heaven is so sweet ❤️❤️❤️
💖
My mom would collect pennies she found and had a similar saying from her Dad. She found so many after her Dad passed away. Pennies from heaven is a blessed saying
angrymuppet66 my father passed away September of 2017 and I collect the pennies as well. I like to think my Dad is putting them in my path. I have a lil piggy bank I put em in.
My mom passed away November 13, 2013 when I find a penny it’s her my dad passed away in 1990 when I find a nickel it’s him I’m always finding a nickel and a penny together
I once bought a purse from a charity shop and found a high street gift card with £500 loaded on it. I did the biggest food and clothes shop for my kids.
That’s Exciting Dawn... I would have loved to see you face when you found that card ❤️❤️
You know the excitment you both had when you found the telescope? Well i think its on par with that feeling.
I love how he hypes her up. Even when it was a few cents , he said killing it, and happy for her.
You need a gift card reader machine. Amazon has then for under $20. You don't have to type each number in individually that way.
Great idea!
Didnt know
I’ve got one now ❤️😀
I bought a $300 Target card on the 1 day of the year Target sells them at 10%off...(Paid $270)... got around $45 of items.. paid with the card... and the cashier threw it away... I immediately said hey there is money left on that... luckily I knew what design was on the card he retrieved it... good thing because there were other gift cards in the trash... if I didn't know the design... I was have been out $255... everyone... keep an eye on your gift cards and know what design is on them... actually this has happen twice.... the cashiers are in the habit of throwing them away... Don't let them throw your money away.
CatLady668 I can’t believe they just tossed it without asking your permission! I’ve always been asked if I wanted my card back...crazy. Good thing you were on top of that!
@@LindasDIYbyDesign they shouldnt have to ask they should just give u it back thats messed up this story u and 1st comment
I usually have the issue with CVS throwing away receipts with extra bucks on them...
@@djess5802 I'm very careful with my CVS receipts for the very reason... that's free money....
dnt throw away gift cards cus if u hav a return online they return itt to the gift card. I jus ordered something n was charged and a few days later they returned 1 item on my card due to out of stock. so keep them plsss.
I love when I find even a penny on the street....
😂 So do we 😂
Me too or I tell My son to get it !! 😂😂🤣
Bosco Bartelis I always pick up a penny if I see it on the street and put it in my daughter’s bank!
My sons name is Abraham and he happened to be born on the day lincoln died. (Did not plan this since I had an emergency c section my due date was 4/20). I will hunt for pennies anywhere! Or a 5 dollar bill haha.
Me too! Change is change and it all adds up?!!😁
I like how he's supportive of his wife
I just love to see the happiness on your face! You work hard to get these and you deserve all of the wonderful things you find! Just totally overjoyed!
I bought a storage locket for $10 and there was on old McDonald's bag filled with condiments. At the bottom was a 6 gift cards in a rubber band. 6 for Home Depot and one for Michael's Craft Store. The one for Michael's was marked $25 but it had $21.52 on it. The Home Depot ones were marked $100 each. 4 were full and one had $57 one it.
Allison Jae wooooow!!!! That is amazing! I wouldn’t have even looked in the bottom of that bag I bet! ❤️💃🏼🕺🏻
In California, "cards with a balance of less than $10 may be redeemed for the remaining value if the consumer asks." It's the law here. So you can request cash and don't have to use them to buy anything.
Thanks L T 🙏❤
L T California always has awesome
Thank you for the info
Good deal
Same with oregon
The stores should be re-loading the empty cards instead of throwing all that plastic in the garbage.
Great point Stephanie 😎
At the very least, they should recycle ♻️ all of that plastic! Some stores, unfortunately, will only issue new cards whether it’s a reload or if a person is returning an item without a receipt.
If the cashier is having difficulty reloading a card, I usually just take it to customer service and have them do it.
I ALWAYS TAKE MY GIFT CARD BACK. NOT BECAUSE OF THERE BEING MONEY ON IT BUT BECAUSE SOME PLACES CHARGE FOR THE CARD. LIKE OUR WALMART CHARGES 5.00 FOR THE CARD BEFORE THE AMOUNT THAT ITS FOR, SO THEY AINT GETTING IT BACK TO RESELL ON MY DIME. YES, I AM STINGY LIKE THAT. ESPECIALLY WITH WALMART.
Absolutely!
I love it! Y'all are so smart to pick up and check those Gift Cards. I'm not embarrassed at all to use my Gift Cards even if they only have one cent left. It is my money and I like to say I respect my money, that I'm frugal, a Money Manager, and I don't waste money or anything if I can help it in any way. I found one in an old parking lot for $100 once.
If you have a Whole Foods near by they will take the empty gift cards and recycle then into guitar picks
Shannon Wolf that’s cool! We don’t have one close by...but we do have a friend who has a guitar pick puncher! I’ll give him a stack 😀
I also use them to make guitar picks for my students. Can use any that are plastic...
Shannon Wolf r
I believe Best Buy takes hard plastic gift and credit cards for recycling.
@@StevenStephResaleKillers I was about to say, "... Or you can get a pick punch for under $30 and make em yourself!" but you beat me to it!!
I’d walk in with 50 gift cards with a penny on it. I’m all for saving money! Good job
Shannon Askew me too!! I have no problem with that and I wouldn’t think twice if I was a cashier and someone did that! 😆
A penny is a penny...I'd do it too
When I was in college Someone stole my purse at the laundromat but left his clothes in the washer. So when the police came they got his wallet out of the washer & said looks like someone lost this... gave me all his money (he had just cashed his paycheck) and it was several hundred vs the $5 in quarters I had. Plus the police found my purse a few blocks over and it had my ID and all my stuff in it. 🙂
Wow!!! That’s amazing!! ❤️ 👮♀️so cool!!!
Our family was going out to eat at a restaurant. When we got out the car and started walking my son found a giftcard on the floor. So he pickd it up & i later checked it at home and it had $270 on it Cheddar's restaurant. So we eat good for about a month.😎
Outstanding! Your Son is your lucky charm 👍😎
Found a 250.00 gift card in a purse that I bought at goodwill. Went back there and I told them i found it in the purse and i tried to return it but they said I could keep it.
What a gal u R honey.
There would be no way to find out who it belonged to unless there was ID in the purse.
@Gemineye Intuition where I live..they don't care. I have yet to see anything good about good will around here. I rarely even donate to my home town store. I'm glad they are good where you live...be thankful!
I actually work at a goodwill store and you got lucky. Cause if they would of found it, it actually would be sold online. And once youre out the store, it's yours. That's an awesome find, if you ask me!
@@katiekarma01 hi dear if any donations to kids please message me 17844953332
WOW STEPH GOOD JOB....SO WORTH PICKING THEM UP! Hey Steve....I pick up ALL pennies! I turned in $245.00 in 1 year in pennies alone! My husband would walk on by, NOT me😎👍
Shelley Londry we both pick up all the pennies too! Heads up or down! 😆
Did you see our coin video? 😂
StevenSteph Resale Killers OMG YES I've seen your coin video & almost every video y'all posted! You 2 including Jerry are by far my FAVORITE DUO + adorable side kick❤️❤️❤️ If my hubby would pick up coins as he sees them we'd probably be able to pay our property taxes! LOL YES, heads up or down doesn't matter cuz they spend the same.....Keep these Awesome Videos rolling.......
Shelley Londry I pick them up too
I pick up change I find all the time! I had forgot my wallet at home one time when I went to get my oil changed, well the place I went to didn't take checks! So I asked if they would take change( all those coins I pick up go in my center console) they said yes. Well I had enough for the oil change with alot still left over! My best gift card was 100.00 and my best scratch off found was 25.00. It was still attached to others that had been scrathed but guess that one was forgotten.
My friend bought an old car for £20. Found £40 in the ashtray then scrapped it for £70. win win lol
I bought a $100 car and found a $3000 120 year old native american blanket in the back.
Nathan Rogers that’s fantastic
Love this!!!!! 🎉
I totally agree with Steph about the cards. Every penny adds up. My hubby and I save our change including pennies. It all add up to a dollar amount quickly. Then, those dollars add up to more dollars. Good job Steph!!!😍❤💕
I'm going to keep my eye out for gift cards
One time I went to a swap meet and I was picking up little tickets to play with them as money and then I found a diamond ring 💍!!
What kind of tickets ?
Nikki G tickets you have to pay for to enter there like the raffle tickets 🎟
Sillyrxbbit woooow!!! That is SO cool!!! 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
I found a giftcard for $35 walmart giftcard in a giftset basket from my sister babyshower that was stored under the sink ,it was at the bottom of the basket under the filler confetti to stuff the basket .At the time my niece was 3 (so it was 3 yrs old giftcard when found ).It was a blessing bc at the time she needed laundry detergent and baby hygiene items ,I couldn't have found it at a better time!
Wow!!! What a blessing! Love this story! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love this story. GOD is good.
Ok I just have to say I LOVE THIS!!! We have clean up weekends and people throw out good things, but.... my husband hates it when I ask to use his truck lol he knows somethings up. Oh well, I think it's a gr8 idea, love it when u donate to schools!!! Very cool.
God Bless
Mindi
I think that's SOOO cool that you came up on that much money!!! Have fun spending!!!!
I use to work at Murphy Gas Station and I would find gift cards and scratch offs with money on them. Within 3 weeks I had enough money to buy a pair of winter boots and tennis shoes. I have also found a 30 Starbucks DD and gave it to my dad.
That’s Awesome Elizabeth... Glad you took care of your Dad with the Starbucks card ❤️
You’re a good person Elizabeth, that made me smile that you think of someone else’s happiness before your own 😇
This is WAY cool. I’ve never seen anyone do this before. I want to do it too! 👍😉❤️
YES”
It is worth it Stephanie, keep getting the gift cards one day you may hit the jackpot 🎰.
I love how joyful, authentic, intelligent and grateful they are (especially her 🙂). So great to see these qualities in people on RUclips. Especially when there are other videos of people buying lost luggage and they act juvenile, disrespectful, ungrateful and obnoxious. I love these two!! I’m going to subscribe. 👍🙂❤️ btw she has BEAUTIFUL eyes.
Aww thank you so much Rebecca! ❤️ That was really sweet 😊
You’re so welcome and it’s true! 🙂 believe it or not you remind me of my niece (she’s bubbly, kind and enthusiastic too) and you favor her too (my only and most fav. Niece btw 😉). Thank you for sharing this with all of us. Your enthusiasm is inspiring and contagious. I love the channel btw!! All the videos are great! ❤️ Please keep it up; it really brings joy and happiness to an otherwise and somewhat weary world 👍and every little bit helps. Keep on digging in those dumpsters!! The “crack to get the crack” was a hilarious “crack” too btw 🤣Best to both of you!!
When I went to Disney there was a gift card under a bench and I sat down and there was $35 on that gift card
How fun is that? Thanks for watching we really appreciate it.. 🙏❤
I found $10 at Disneyland.
No one ever stops you from Dumpster diving?
My friend found a 60 dollar Anthropologie gift card in the bathroom
Awesome
I would loooove to find an Anthropologie gift card!! Especially $60!! 😍
Omg guys, I just found your channel earlier today and I love everything about it. Also Steven is so funny I love it. Bless you guys as a couple and in everything. 💕
Hiya.. Thank you we really appreciate it 🙏❤
Steph, congratulations on the gift cards , you did great, don't blame you for getting the gift card at all. Great Job. 🙂
Bought a purse at a thrift store. Three gift cards in the inside pocket. A $25 Sears, a $50 Sears and $100 VISA. The VISA had a three year old receipt with it so none were recently misplaced.
Dead woman purse. She left u a nice gift.
I bought a pair of pants for $3 at the thrift store and found a $5 in the pocket. just goes to prove they don't check every item that comes through
Wow. I never thought of that. You will now find me at my local thrift store pretending to be interested in buying a purse. But, I'll be checking to see if I can find anything in there.
@@lindavel43 --- u have to purchase the item it was found in otherwise that would be stealing.
Susan Mitchell k,
Don't feel ashame you not stealing you doing the stores a job that they pay others to do. To pick up a dumpsters garbage. Enjoy and be careful. Never go alone.
Have a mobile physically on you and never both go in at the same time!! 😉
Very good advice! Please make sure you’re up on vaccinations. Local health department carries most if not all. Extra layer of protection for peace of mind☺️
Haha "I need some crack"!! You guys are awesome! I used to dumpster dive and never looked or thought of getting gift cards!
I just found you guys last week and I've been diving ever since. I scored tons of gift cards at B&N and EVERY one had the pin scraped off. I'm guessing employees are checking before they toss them. Love you guys!!! Love to LJS
I love how your eyes open wide when you find a good balance on a card 👁 👁 so fun and adorable🥰 Also, your appreciation for even 1 cent is great, a true consciousness of prosperity! You’re grateful for all the $$$ that you find and I agree with that whole heartedly! I’m having so much fun binge watching your channels, thank you for sharing your good energy❤️ENJOY YOUR LIFE❣️ love from Baltimore, MD...
I never throw out gift cards with change on them. They definitely come in handy if you're short and need a little extra😊
Good for you 🙏❤️
Absolutely love you guys, I discovered you in oct and I've been addicted to watching g your vids. I keep shouting at you theres one over there, keep it up guys ur amazing xxx
I HOLLERED @ "buy some crack" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Talk about a rough day huh? 1st time watching you guys and I LOVED it. New subbie!
Found a wristlet in what we believe was a stores lost & found that they decided to get rid of in their dumpster. Had several GC's...& blue tooth wireless earbuds, 2 memory sticks (empty), & the wristlet was COACH!!
PF changs $25
MACY'S $25
PIER 1 $86!!
Rita's water ice $15
Banana Republic $4.35
JC PENNEY $18.95!
Jenn Pyle woooow! What a score!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Wtf there was all that stuff in it and no ID. If there was an ID you should be ashamed of yourself
Lmao judgy arent we... it wasnt a wallet it was a wristlet type of pouch/make-up bag... no there was no ID in it... as I'm sure if there was the store would have contacted them 1st! So there is ZERO SHAME here. I have found a full purse b4 that I'm sure was stolen as it did have ID & that I returned. Thank you though for the judgement without the facts...
She JUST told us that the ones she uses have NO WAY TO RETURN THEM TO OWNERS. LISTEN in class. And that is the way WE ALL do them. We are NOT dishonest, immoral people. All those cards were MONEY that was THROWN AWAY in the TRASH. This guy, her hubby, does not realize that "all that money" on those cards "goes" NOWHERE. It has ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR, & has been sitting IN THE CARD. It GOES in the trash if someone doesn't use it!! @@jessicabna
How are you gonna take someone’s shit out of lost and found 😂🤣 That’s so sad. Sad world. I can understand a dumpster or whatever but someone is obviously missing it if it’s in lost and found. That could be considered theft.
My husband found $137 in a pair of jeans he hadn’t worn in almost 2 years, he was so excited you would have thought he won the lottery ❤️
AWESOME! That's like when you think it's Monday but it turns out to be Sunday 😂👊😎
I love you guys you’re so hard workers and grateful at all times, God bless you more
I didn't know that I could check the balance on my gift cards until I started watching your videos. So I want to thank you for putting that out there for people to know what to do in that situation.
I found a $50 Costco card at the laundry mat under the dryer, and found and $25 Safeway card in the ditch
That’s great Marlene 😎❤️
I like what you guy do...keep keeping us posted
StevenSteph Resale Killers o
I have had a little left on a gift card before, and gave it to someone in line to use. Someone might as well use it. It's free money to them. Love your channel.
Perfect! Way better than throwing it away! XOXO Glad someone could use it! I've got one I've had for years for Pier One and I just haven't gone in that store in foreeeeever to use it! I should give it to someone going inside one day!
I just checked the gift cards in my wallet. $31.66 WHOO HOO. I'd better go shopping.
Yvonne walker, I've done that too. It was like $1, but they appreciated it.
@Yvonne Walker you are a sweet 💖 heart!
I love watching you guys! I've been an accidental "finder" for years, but haven't had the guts to go thru dumpsters yet. I'm thinking about trying it, but have some questions:
- are there specific days of the week that are better?
- are there specific times of day that are better?
- how do you avoid getting hassled by employees?
- let's just say I'm quite a bit older than you guys, so not as nimble in terms of climbing, jumping in dumpsters, etc. Any tips on the best ways to get up into and out of dumpsters. Would it make sense to bring a step ladder of some kind, or is that too cumbersome?
- should I bring a friend to help me, or do you think I'd be fairly safe going alone?
- do you find out in advance which days the waste management companies pick up, so you'll know when you'll get the biggest piles of stuff to sort through?
I may think of more question later, but if you've got time to answer these, that would be awesome!
I lived in Bowie, MD for many years. We called it the yard sale/trash pickers capital of MD! It was almost like a cottage industry. There were anywhere from 20-50 yard sales every saturday. It's a huge city and they even had laminated maps you could use a grease pencil to plot your saturday morning yard sale route on and then wipe clean and be ready for the next saturday. On the day before trash pick-up, everyone who didn't want to be bothered having a yard sale, would put all their stuff out on the curb and then everyone would drive around that evening and pick up whatever they wanted. Got tons of cool furniture, tons of awesome toys for my grandkids, even antiques for years! My friend has been doing this every week for 35 years and loads up his truck. He finds new homes for a lot of the stuff, gives it to the needy and keeps what he can use.
I like the gift card idea. I'm a whiz on a 10-key and have plenty of time to sit and check the card balances since I retired. I'm another one who always bends over to pick up pennies. I've been doing it for 60 years!
Well, thanks so much for your videos. They're so much more entertaining than what's on TV these days!! ;) Happy diving!
You've done the digging, picking and checking!! More power to you guys.......treat yourself, pay for some family gifts......their yours! Be blessed and thanks for sharing with us
Awesome!! Happy for you Steph, you so deserve it!! Thanks for sharing!! God bless!! Enjoy your night~
Thanks so much Lori! XOXO
WOW! Bam! You did good, girl! I tried to use two gift cards at the movies recently and was told they were empty. NO they were not. In a huff, I walked away but if I had kept my jets cooled, I should have asked for them back and checked their balance online. I always write the balance on the back after i use them. Just a warning to everyone to be careful! Check the balance yourself, dont ask an employee!
Stephanie Leigh Oh my gosh!! Yes! Sometimes the machine is faulty or the employee sucks and scanned it on the wrong screen!? Or that employee was a thief and kept those? 😱
I purchase gift cards when Kroger does 2 or 3 times has points. I bought numerous lowes cards and while the cashier scanned them she said there was less on them then their was. I told her to do it again and the second time it took the rest. Makes u wonder how many stores have that issue and made a profit off gift cards
Shannon Askew wow!!! Do you think she was doing it intentionally to keep the balances on cards? Or did you see it on the screen? That is so crazy! I’ve never thought about any of these ideas before!
I feel validated. Thank you, you guys. I kept thinking"am I crazy?" because its actually happened other places in the past as well. ANDDD same with lotto tickets (scratchers). What a racket going on (maybe?) Ugh! Good to know though!
If you knew they weren't damn right I would've asked for them. You said " No they were not" . My " huff " would've made me claim back what was mine. It's no way I would've walked away knowing I had $ on them .
Kudos for all the work you put in checking all those cards! Good job!
Thank you so much!
Love your videos! You get so excited to find stuff and save money and even donate great things! People are literally Throwing money away!
I'd probably watch this live. LMFAO 😂🤦it's like watching someone gamble. I'm getting excited 😂
Please do more cards. They’re my favorite!Thanks guys!! 🙂
I was waiting for this video. Thanks. I've been wondering if all those gift cards are worth it.
I missed the total. Do you remember it?
I like you guys! You're so normal & it's fun to watch you do your thing!
You are my new best friend!!! I too have an accounting background and love doing 10key!! (When people watch me on 10key , their jaw drops!!)
And my husband and kids and I LOVE dumpster diving!!! My husband and son found some gorgeous pictures from Kirklands!!! I still have em after 10 years!
I use to work at Costco and on the floor in the deli section i found a target gift card just laying on the floor next to a trash can by a demo person. I took it home to see if there's any money and found $15 :) never underestimate gift cards
I found a $25 Childrens Place gift card in the bottom of a box of legos I got in a storage auction unit. Sold it for $22 on ebay
Love how he feels it out... Put that energy into them man!!!
some people are nosy lol who even asks those question you found them in the dumpster !!! they have no owners anymore , just started binge watching your videos and subscribed :D
Thanks for choosing to be a part of this channel 🙏😊❤️
You don’t usually see a woman so beautiful hanging out in the dumpster
aint that the truth....this would be my ultimate dream, to find a beautiul woman so into dumpster diving as seph is...
She makes me feel brave enough to dumpster dive! I like free stuff lol
Wow!! I'm struggling so bad right now I wish I could get lucky like that!! That's so awesome!
You are my fave on her you are so entertaining I love you hauls we cannot get in them over here they lock them love you both x
One man's trash is another man's treasure! I worked with a Dr that kept a big cup in his car for change and when it got full he would just empty it on the ground where ever he was at! He said he hated change! I see NO problem in you doing this! In fact good for you!
Was at walmart, checking out, there was a gift card on the ground. It had $50.00...felt so glad i looked down.
@@Ruizfamilia140 Did the Holy Spirit make the original owner of the card drop it? What if the person who dropped it, was out of work and needed it to buy food or other necessary items? Just trying to figure out how that Holy Spirit thing works in your favor sometimes, and not in your favor a LOT of the time.
@@sherylbutler9999agree. Should have taken it to the courtesy counter inside. I lost a Walmart gift card somewhere in my local store. The catch was my aunt sent sent it to me with $100 on it. The reason, my husband has Stage IV Renal Cancer and she knows money is tight. So...I could not purchase the food in my cart that day.
@@crecine45 I am so sorry to hear that story. I wish you and your family the very best. *Hug*
@@sherylbutler9999 Thank you so much. Means a lot. Married 26 years. We're in our mid 40's. Never saw it coming.
You should be ashamed and not bragging about finding the gift card in the floor. You should've turned it in or told the manager for the person to call you of they came back for it. Shame on you
Congrats!!!! 💜 The only problem I see with hanging on to some of those cards without checking them for a long time, might be one of the stores (or even chains like Toys R Us) closing and losing out on that money! 😣
Cindy Betts that’s true they do! I’ve got a few from stores that closed! Bought Groupons and never got around to using them 😭
Their being irresponsible in the first place for throwing them its called bad business practice, the amount of unnecessary trash that goes to landfill is ridiculous and we divers know this. If they disposed of them correctly and checked them then us dumpster divers wouldn't cash in and they will profit instead. If they lose money then it's their fault! Your never too big to fail.
@@StevenStephResaleKillers Awww!!! 😥 (Love ya both! Plus little Jerry, of course!) 💙💜💙
Step your the Best. Keep getting gift card. So fun to see your face even if it's a penny.
Enjoy Your Life
Never found any with money still on them, and your hair is perfect!
Found a target gift card n the parking lot of walmarts. Checked n got 52.76. Couldnt of found it at a better time. Needed tpaper n other personal stuff badly. Went back to the car n back to targets n got what i needed. Lol. Used up the card later on..like a month later. My sister found a visa gift card with a balance of 100 on it. Im pretty sure thats what i got for my bday from her. Lmao
Ida T. Wow!! That’s awesome!! 🎉 it was MEANT for you to find ❤️love that so much!
My brother finds gift cards occasionally riding his bike & of course they're always empty! Lucky you.
You didn't feel like handing it in then so the poor sod who lost it did not have a miserable start to the New Year!! Maybe an old age pensioner, a young person buying gifts or some skint person. Nice!!
Julie Grace for one they have no clue who the gift card belongs to, there is not a name on the gift cards. It was found in a parking lot!! And she didn’t say she just found it, from what I read and it was awhile ago, not recently!
Correct. Found 3 or 4 yrs ago n a slushy parking lot. Nothing else around it. Was happy i found it. 👍👋😙
Awesome! Congrats! I would call those other ones! Could be a lot on them!
Mass Lass I will on the Tuesday morning ones!
You two are an awesome team. Love all the positivity!
"man, i need some crack!" im dead! rotflol😂😂😂 i subbed after that comment...hilarious and u guys are a cute couple
Thanks for choosing to be a part of this channel we really appreciate it 😊
I am not sure if it is the same in all states, but in California if a gift card has less than $5 on it you can get the balance back in cash.
I learned to pickup gift cards on the ground when I found a Lowe’s gift card for $17.00.
