PeopleTranscript
00:00Today's video is sponsored by Craftsy. If you're always coming up short at the thrift store,
00:04this video is for you. You've been thrifting wrong, my friend, but don't worry, I've got you,
00:08and I take this really seriously. Well, maybe not seriously, but I'm going to show you how to
00:12seriously save. Recently, I shared with you this vanity I thrifted for 80 bucks. Estimated retail
00:17is $2,000. I made over and stocked an entire pantry for less than $100. I thrifted the shelf
00:22from Habitat Restore. The clothes I wear, most of the items in my house have all been thrifted.
00:26You remember when I found this incredible armoire. This has an estimated retail of $21,000. I got it
00:31from Habitat for Humanity Restore for just $195. And so many of you have been commenting, you wish
00:37that your thrift stores look like mine. You wish your dollar trees look like mine. You feel like
00:40you can't find any of the good stuff. Maybe you've just been in the wrong stores, so I'm going to
00:44help you find the right ones today. I bet you there's at least one option in this video you
00:48didn't realize. Plus, I'll share with you the secret high-end overstock thrift store you've
00:52got to hear about. They're easy and I'm actually giving away my secrets. Secret one is I think
00:57you've been missing out on some of the local gems. I was looking to makeover our builder grade garden
01:02tub. I hadn't done anything with it in years, so I went to Google and I typed in best local thrift
01:08stores. I want you to do this for your area and surprise yourself. There are so many amazing ones
01:12out there. In my area, Back Porch Treasures came up. This place was darling. And on the day I went,
01:18all clothes were a dollar and everything in the store was 50% off. The inventory was great with
01:23lots of antiques, but what's more, this charity really serves the community. Every dollar you
01:28spend provides assistance to families in crisis. I'd love for you to drop in the comments below
01:32your favorite local charity or thrift store. Places like this almost always have better
01:36inventory and true antiques. This vintage storage container was amazing and it was only one dollar.
01:42And for 50 cents, I scored this vintage wall shelf, but I'm going to use it in a creative way.
01:47In my experience, Google reviews are really accurate, especially with thrifting, so try it
01:51this week. Lots of smaller locally run organizations do the most for the community and they tend to
01:56have quality stuff because people trust donating here. And as I organize and continue to declutter
02:01my home, this is a great place to bring those unwanted items so somebody else can find new
02:05purpose. So back to the bathroom and tip number two. My friend, have you been utilizing Instagram,
02:11Facebook, and online? Because most thrift stores now have an Instagram or Facebook presence. Lots
02:15of them post new deals of the day so you can decide if you want to make the drive and if you
02:19know the type of item you're looking for. Look at this California Restore Instagram. Like, I am
02:23obsessed. Am I a weirdo? Like a total weirdo? Like, let me know in the comments if any of these things
02:27are speaking to you too. I basically was able to get this at a big discount because a bunch of
02:32these fell off, so I'm just DIYing a little fix here. In my experience, Habitat for Humanity
02:37Restore is great for furniture and light fixtures and Salvation Army is awesome with furniture. So
02:42here are a few of those little items that I got from my local thrift store. I put bath salts at
02:46the beautiful canister and I got this amazing vintage pitcher for $4. And this is vintage
02:52Polish glass. That was from Back Porch Treasures and then I used this little shelf as a bookend
02:56for my journal. And stay tuned for the full room reveal. But first, if you love deals and thrifting,
03:01you're absolutely going to love today's sponsor, Craftsy and this awesome deal. Craftsy has
03:07thousands of classes, all taught by experts, so you can learn and work at a new creative skill.
03:12And I've been using it for years. I recently took an amazing class by Mario Robinson on painting
03:18realistic watercolors. This class went so in-depth and gave me new skills that I could apply to
03:23landscapes or just watercoloring in general when I want to do it for fun. I absolutely love
03:28thrifting art. The piece behind me I got for $9.99 and it's an actual oil on canvas.
03:34And these are types of skills that, especially right now, I love sitting down and getting to
03:38learn myself. Whether it's watercolor or oil on canvas, these are simple things that I can try
03:44making my own art at home, which I know you guys have seen in lots of videos. And if you love
03:49thrifting, especially clothes, there's another awesome class by Mary Beth Temple, which is
03:54thrift flipping to upcycle your fashion finds. She offers lots of super simple ideas, but there's tons
04:01of classes, baking, photography, knitting, crochet. The sky is the limit, and all of them are taught
04:06by friendly experts. The tips come in the order that you need them, so I end up learning so much.
04:11Plus, you can connect with other DIYers, ask your questions, share ideas, and stay inspired.
04:17And this is such a good deal, because if you're one of the first thousand people to click my link
04:21in the description below, you're going to get a full year of premium membership to Craftsy for
04:27just $1.49. You can't beat that. Craftsy is one of my favorite partners to work with, and I hope
04:34you enjoy it as much as I do. It's so awesome when $1.49 gets you so far, and here's another
04:39thrift store where $1.49 will get you a long way. Did you know that Goodwill has an outlet store?
04:45This is sometimes called second editions or bin stores, and you pay by the pound of items that
04:50you purchased. That's how I got this lamp that retails for $250 for $0.79. Have you tried a
04:58thrift store outlet? Now this is where the gems are. These have locations all around the country,
05:02and think of this as a Goodwill outlet. This is where clothes are going to come in, in giant blue
05:08bins. They are rolled out about every hour or so a new bin comes out. You can find high-end
05:14name brands at these stores. They have lots of organization here, and what I love about Goodwill
05:19is they really try to give a second chance to everybody's items. So these are the items that
05:23were shipped from other stores that have now come here. This one is really cool. All of this is $1.99.
05:29They have tons of shoes too. Lots of these are brand new. These are rubber banded together,
05:33so again you're going to pay by the pound. These are Tommy Hilfiger boots. So you want to check
05:38the garments, but you can find really expensive, like $200 sweaters. Literally, this is probably
05:4325 cents. This is Sherpa Brands. I've heard from lots of people that the Goodwills in your area
05:48are overpriced. So that's why the bin stores are a great and sustainable option. Items at outlet
05:53stores come from the retail stores that haven't sold them within five weeks. The prices are so
05:57cheap, so they don't allow returns, but I think it is so worth it. I have found incredible clothing
06:02items and incredible things like this Shinwa lamp. Oh my gosh, this is actually porcelain.
06:08I always do a quick Google Lens search so I can see exactly what I have and how much something
06:13is worth. To do this, click the camera icon on Google, take a picture of the item, and it will
06:18find online similar versions. I saw that this lamp is worth a lot, the exact one. Checking out is
06:24easy. You just take it out to the front and you're asked to put it inside of a bag, and then they
06:27weigh your items. Paying by the pound, you can get a giant bag of stuff and leave with it for under
06:32$10. And I want to take you to Reclectic, but first give you some secret stores you may not realize
06:38exist. The GW and The Grid. These are like a boutique shops. The Grid is for all of your
06:44electronics. So instead of those items going straight into a landfill, you can buy them
06:49secondhand at a great price. They also have The GW, which is a more boutique experience store.
06:55This is a more curated version of Goodwill. So it's color coordinated, they have housewares,
07:01and in my area, it's really affordable. So right now I'm in The GW, which is a Goodwill
07:06boutique store. Think of all the items from the Goodwill, except they're curated by different
07:11colors, by sizes, and you feel like you're shopping in a boutique experience. And the
07:16prices are awesome. Lots of items are $9.99, $14.99. They have shoes, and one of my favorite
07:22items to find are the sunglasses. They have Lauren Conrad sunglasses here, and they even
07:27had some Juicy Couture, and these are all $9.99. I'll be sure to link down below for you where all
07:33The GWs are near you. And at some GWs, they will have furniture, and they also have really
07:39cool home decor stuff. A lot of it is new or new with tags. This is a nice runner, and this is only
07:45$9.99. Two things that stood out to me were this fireplace insert. This is really cool if you have
07:50a wood-burning fireplace, but you want the gas experience. And they have all sorts of suits for
07:55men too, which is really cool. And I love their wicker baskets here, and they have beautiful
07:59pillows. That was a surprise. And everything is color-coordinated, so it's easy to find something
08:03you're looking for. So if there's a gap in your wardrobe, it's easy to come and check here.
08:07The dress I'm wearing in this video, I got for $9 at The GW. I love it, as well as this
08:11cross-stitch pillow for $6.99. It's perfect for the bathroom makeover, which is coming up. You
08:16can shop whatever style suits you. I Google Lens this, and man, I saved a lot. And I'm about to
08:21tell you about Reclectic, but first, I want to talk about being honest, about what thrifting
08:26gets you. If I were to take affordability, community impact, and variety of product in the
08:31store, and I were to rank all the thrift stores featured in this video, for me, Katherine, here's
08:35how they'd shake out. Local thrift is obviously the best way to go. Salvation Army and Habitat
08:39for Humanity are close runners up. And as you can see, Habitat for Humanity wins in the variety
08:44category. Goodwill Outlet is an amazing way to save, and wins in the affordability category.
08:49I also enjoy shopping at the boutique and Goodwill less frequently, because they do impact the
08:54community in a positive way, but maybe not as much as some other organizations. Regardless though,
08:58it was really fun to visit Goodwill headquarters and see the impact that they do have on the
09:01community, like creating jobs, sustainability, and seeing all the meetings going on there.
09:06There's lots of good things happening. Based on your goals, you can decide the spots you'd
09:09like to thrift, and be on the lookout for new models of stores, new types of stores coming
09:13out that have thrifty elements. If you like anthropology, free people, and urban outfitters,
09:18but you don't like the prices, listen up. Reclectic is also a brand new store that
09:23opened near me, and they're rolling these out all around the country. But you've got to know
09:28about this. Y'all, it was packed when I went, but this store concept is so cool.
09:32Welcome to Reclectic. There are four locations across the United States. This is an urban
09:37outfitters, free people, and anthropology store. And all of this inventory is really similar to
09:44what you're going to find at a thrift store. These are items lots brand new with tags,
09:48some returns that they couldn't sell in stores, so you're getting them at crazy steep discounts.
09:53I'm so excited to show you this store. They have locations in Philadelphia, Tempe, Chicago,
09:58Charlotte, and Dallas. It's mostly clothes, but some stores have housewares and accessories too.
10:04And these are deals up to 50% off. I have found so many beautiful garments there,
10:08including the dress that I wore for Valentine's Day. There are no fitting rooms, and there are
10:13no returns. So you do have to be careful and kind of know what you're buying and that you're
10:17going to keep it. But I have found quality pieces here. So if you're looking for those
10:20high quality staples, and you don't want to have to do a ton of sifting, this is an option.
10:26So here's the thing that you have to know about this store though. There are no fitting rooms.
10:29So you want to come here dressed in something that you could put this item over, and we're
10:33going to make it work. This is a really great deal because all of these items are almost all
10:38free people, anthropology, and they're all $15. I feel like the fun of thrifting is running into
10:43the true gems. You know what I'm saying? You're like, what in the Nickelodeon? There's an old
10:48part of me that would have loved this. Or, you know what I mean, Britney Spears. You drive me
10:52crazy. Actually, these are kind of fun. I don't know. Hold on. Wait, do I like this? I don't
10:58think I do. I mean, where would I wear this? But they're kind of fun. You also know how much I love
11:06shopping at ThredUP. ThredUP is an online thrift store, and this is very similar to ThredUP in a
11:12lot of ways. ThredUP is just online. So if you don't have a Reclectic near you, consider shopping
11:16at ThredUP. Today's video is not sponsored by ThredUP, but I'll be sure to leave a coupon code
11:20in the description in case you want to check it out because it's a very similar concept.
11:24I just love thrifting so much. Remember, if it's from the Dollar Tree or it's free,
11:28it's for me. Over time, I started collecting a bunch of items to redo my bathroom space.
11:33The one thing I did purchase new were the curtains. I got them on Amazon. I'll link them
11:37down below. But the other items I gathered, thrifted, I saw them and I thought, this is
11:42such a beautiful little whimsical touch for the space. I absolutely love how this space turned
11:48out. If you've ever felt overwhelmed in a second-hand store, maybe you want to flip that
11:53script and see if you can think through the lens of possibility. What could you do to a space to
11:58make it personal for you? There are so many quality items at Hidden Treasures. Be sure to
12:03click the link down below and sign up for Craftsy for just $1.49 for a year of their premium
12:10membership. I hope today's video was helpful. My beautiful friend, if nobody has told you today,
12:15guess what? You are enough. I'll catch you soon. Happy donating and happy shopping.
