hi everybody and welcome to Thursday and
this is thrifty Thursday I'm going to
share with you a full tour of the inside
of my house then I'm going to share with
you what I got this week it's a thrift
store and also I'm gonna share with you
how you can go to the thrift store on a
weekly basis but not bring home a lot of
clutter
kitchen it is original in 1963 Ridgway
mobile home everything inside my house
is original original little island here
now 90% of the things that you see in my
home or castaways things that people
didn't want was gifts and was family
heirlooms so I'll show you into the main
living room now this is the one side of
my living room so I have one big room
and this is the one side of it you
normally don't see this side of it too
often and then I'll show you the other
side either wood pieces that you see
like back in the corner there that is
all heirlooms that came from my
husband's side of the family all of
these pictures that you will see on the
walls are puzzles that my mom and dad
put together for me and they're all
Kinkaid puzzles and there's something I
will cherish the rest of my life so now
we have the other side of my living room
and there is my office desk and this
that's where all of my videos are made
as you know I have lots and lots and
lots of books I love books and here's
our bedroom all of these pieces of
furniture came from my grandma Fanny and
that course is my husband's grandma but
I claim her as my very own so all the
furniture that you see here is from her
family and basically it's just the
bedroom and of course you've seen this
before as well so it's just very simple
on the other side of me is my husband's
work desk and I leave that as private
but I just wanted to share with you our
bedroom is our tiny bathroom it is so
tiny but it serves its purpose and it's
very plain as well nothing too
spectacular in my house that's for sure
we're going into the pantry one of my
pantries
this pantry does appear to be cluttered
but everything is organized and I know
what I have and everything and this room
is a room where I basically call it my
grocery store and as you know in many
many many videos I share with you about
my pantry this is the favorite room of
my house and actually this is not part
of my house this is an out porch but I
really enjoy this room now this room is
not heated nor it doesn't have any
coolness into it this is a very warm
house this is a very warm room then this
is where all of my old-fashioned things
are kept like my baskets as you know I
love collecting baskets but everything
has a place and that's really important
especially if you're like me and love
doing thrift shopping and over here I
have some garlic sitting and ready to I
need to work on that but even though
there's a lot of things in this room
everything is organized I think I got
was 50% off this week and I got a whole
box full so I'm gonna share with you how
I go to the thrift store and how I don't
usually get things that are gonna make a
lot of clutter now some of you will be
looking at my house tour and think well
that is kind of cluttered
some people find clutter in a few things
some people find clutter and a lot of
things it's just depending on your frame
of mind I don't see my houses being
cluttered because everything I have
there's a reason and it's things that I
enjoy I don't have powers of things in
the corners of my house or I don't have
things shoved in closets and things like
that I really worked on trying to
minimize things that I don't need or
don't have any sentimental value there's
so much of the hype of minimalism and
while minimalism is great I also believe
a lot of things are lost in that
lifestyle and let me explain to you why
being a memo list is great and I have
nothing against it but you know
sometimes in life it's good to have
things that you cherish there's always a
fine line between hoarding and not but
there's things in our
that we cherish there's memories that we
have and getting rid of everything that
meant something to you I find that very
sad being a member list can give peace
of mind but yet somehow I feel like
there's so much being lost in being am
Emily I feel like you're not having your
memories you know the things of your
mother and your father and your as a
child we can hold on to a few of those
things but not hold on to everything so
I really believe it can go either way I
think you can be too much of a hoarder
and I think you can be too much of a
minimalist I really do because your home
reflects you and just flex your what you
cherish and your memories and your life
and so I really believe in keeping
things that mean something to me
everything you see behind me everything
you've seen in my home I can point to
and tell you what it means to me why I
have it and it's useful yes so I'll get
started and show you what I got I got
everything for under $5 I can't believe
it everything was hand off other store
sale but I got bored I'm gonna give you
the half off price it's just easier that
way so for a dollar 25 I got this
shredder and I'm real excited for it
because I needed it this is something I
need this is something I can use this is
something I have a place for I know
right where I'm gonna put it and I'm
going to be using it yet today to make
my zucchini relish another thing I got
for $0.50 was pipe wrap insulation kit
this is for when you want to winterize
your home this is really expensive when
you go to the Home Depot or the Lowe's
but I got it for 50 cents brand-new now
yes it is very old but it's brand new
I'm going to use this and I need it so
that's going out and a part of the
garage where all of our tools are kept I
got this little wire frame and it was
only twelve cents twelve cents I'm gonna
make a wreath with it which I'm gonna
make a video showing you how to do it
and I have a place for this out in my
canning garage I know exactly where I'm
going
with it got these these are little
coffee filters for making coffee I don't
use it for that I will be using this
when I make my infused oil I use these
as a way to strain it
everything I'm yet at the thrift store a
lot of it is what you would call
consumable items I get this for 12 cents
it was 25 cents so it's like 12 or 13
cents I got that and that's something
that I can use it's consumable it's not
a knick-knack to sit around my house I
did invest in some baskets for a quarter
I got this one for $0.50 I got this one
for a quarter I got this one the place
where I can hang all of my baskets and I
can use these baskets this is perfect
for the things that I need it for can
you ever get too much of it sure you can
but as long as I have place for it I'm
gonna be getting them because you never
know and things like this it's amazing I
can do all of my herbs in one of these I
just love it because it's very deep it's
an also deep basket so when you're going
to the thrift store just have in mind
when you pick that item up look at it
and say okay do I really need this or
can I really use this because a lot of
times if you pick up knickknacks and
things like that that's when you get
into a lot of clutter but if you buy
things that you can use and they're
useful that's not considered clutter not
in my opinion so I got all of these jars
for twelve cents each these are mason
jars that spaghetti sauce came and at
the store
now twelve cents it's cheap I have a
place to go with it I use it the same as
regular canning jars it's a great thing
useful item I know where I can put it
and it's gonna save me money see I have
a theme going on here
then my theme is okay I can use this I
need this and I know where it's going
and then I got to mix it up cookbook for
half-off 75 sets there's a couple
recipes in here I want to try and I will
make a video with them and I will pass
it on if I see I'm not going to keep
using it one thing with my books I will
buy books very cheap I will keep them
quite awhile if I see I'm not using them
then I will do it Nate them to my local
library and so the money just goes
around and around because I'm helping
someone else out and that's but not
least for 50 Cent's I've got all these
paper bags now these paper bags are hard
to find this size if you go in eBay
you're spending quite a bit of money but
I've got these for 50 Cent's I know
exactly where they're going and I'll be
able to use these probably for the next
two years there's my box full of items
oh I see a nail I can put the basket
right on the nail perfect since it goes
to the thrift store a lot I always have
a paper bag right at my door for if I
find things that I no longer need so I
can do it in back to the thrift store so
now what we gotta do is put our jars
away there's plenty of room here I'll
probably even use them next week yep
and last but not least is the box and
I'll use that for all of my recyclables
