We'll just wait and see what I found from 18 thrift stores in just one day.

Welcome to day three of thriftiness.

Yeah.

Every time I call an op shop thrift store I betray my nation.

The Australians scream at me in the comments section whenever they hear me say thrift ng.

But you see, I'm just saying it to fit in with the cool american kids, but on google maps when you type in op shop in your local area, it'll pop up and tell you what sort of places a nearby.

Now I typed in op shop and I picked out 18 stores that I thought would be a, an easy driving path to drive between.

I planned it so that my day started at nine a.m. Right when the first door opened and it goes all the way through until five PM when the last store closes.

Obviously you don't need to go to every single one of the stores that I'm gonna show you in this video.

But there are some that I would consider not to be missed if you're in Sydney, I was mostly on the lookout for homewares, christmas, presents things for my kitchen things for my husband, my family, friends.

And like I said, if you thought that the last video had a good selection, just wait until you see what I bought today.

So with that let's head out to 18 thrift stores in one day, the salvos at Mariani is huge, I found some of my favorite home decor pieces here these days when I get to a thrift store, I make a beeline for the spoons.

Not only is spooning one of my favorite pastimes, I'm constantly on the lookout for quirky and unique designs that I can turn into jewelry.

I think I could make these into Bangles.

The homewares are all color coordinated here.

I have these pink plates at home already and they actually cost the same idea as they did here.

This frilly vase.

Oh my God, Okay.

I know it has a black rim so it's not pastoral, but how could I turn it down?

This is stunning and so unique.

These candlestick holders looked like they were pretty old.

They're a little bit scratched up.

I liked the pastel colored one.

I don't have much of a use for candlestick holders.

Look as much as I want to buy every colorful vase.

I see.

I must resist.

Sometimes these spoons were hiding in this box.

They made in japan and I was thinking that these would look really cute as earrings.

I found the same bowls as the pink ones, but this time they were in blue.

They were split up between different color sections of the store so I could have easily missed them.

If I hadn't been looking very closely, I'll tell you what, having a small car as a blessing and a curse.

I couldn't fit this cabinet in the car which made me sad, but it made my wallet very, very happy.

The salvos in seven hills is probably the biggest I've been to this place is you.

Oh my God, it's the first thing I saw when I walked in the door was a pink frilly plate tray thing.

It's like they put it there just to tempt me.

Once again, I headed straight to the homewares and dove headfirst into a bowl of teaspoons.

I said to myself, I would only buy the ones that looked really, really interesting.

Who would have thought that spoons could look so very interesting.

My love for iridescence is on another level.

If I was voldemort, all of my horcruxes would be iridescent like this plate.

I'm obsessed with decorative glass statement pieces and this thing would be perfect for propagating plants.

This bowl reminded me of the black plate that I found at the previous store.

It had the same sort of swirls on it frames are always a great christmas gift to give and you can put photos of you and your friends in this store had the biggest furniture selection I've seen so far.

You could literally fill an entire house with the things here.

God, this, This is a fictional bag, bless their hearts.

They probably thought it was real because they've priced it at $120.

Oh my God, that place was huge.

I could have spent the whole day in there literally.

But I gave myself 30 minutes and the majority of that 30 minutes was spent looking at spoons but I did get 36 spoons for $12.

So that's a steel.

Anyway, stay tuned for the thrift flip on the spirits.

But now I'm heading to Balkan Hills.

It had only been a few days since I was last at this store and nothing new had been put out on the shelves.

This is where I found my beautiful stone trade.

And there were also some nice pink sneakers here which have since been sold.

I headed off to the vinnie's at Castle Hill again hoping that they put out some new things since I was last there, there were a few cute new things up.

But Pegasus was gone.

Someone adopted him and I hope he's happy now at his forever home padussis was gone.

The Royal Doulton cups were gone.

Uh there were a couple of little tiny things that I thought I should buy, but then I remembered just how many more stores I'm going to today.

And I was like, no, I'll save my money.

But usually that place is very, very good.

So I'll come back in like a week or two when they've had time to restock.

All right.

So I'll tell you guys a funny story.

So basically last week when I was drifting in Windsor I went walking up to the vinnie's and I was saying to myself, okay, I really want to find a mushroom lab anyway, so I've heard about this thing called positive manifestation where you can like manifest things into existence.

Now.

I'm not gonna say that I necessarily believe in that, but hey, when you're desperate for a mushroom lab, it's worth a try.

So I'm walking toward this vinnie's and I'm saying to myself, mushroom lamp, mushroom lamp, mushroom lamp, mushroom lamp.

And then I get there, lo and behold, okay look, it's not the mushroom lamp that I was after.

I want to murano glass mushroom lab, but it was a vintage chic mushroom lamp and it was pink and I was so happy.

Like I was just beside myself.

Overjoyed.

And anyway, so I'm heading to the pennant Hills Vinnie's now and I'm hoping I might be able to find some murano glass there.

Uh, murano glass, I believe it's italian.

I don't know if murano is a brand or like a style, but essentially like art glass, you know, like blown glass that has dots and stripes and all things like that.

I've been coming to this Vinny's my entire life quite literally since I was a baby.

My family raised me on basically exclusively thrift ID items and this is where we bought it all from.

This brings back memories.

I literally have pictures of me here as a child, like a little teeny teeny tiny toddler.

I don't know how much home, where they'll have, they have a lot of clothing.

I used to buy all of my work uniforms from here.

They had one wall of homeware.

Not much that interested me.

But what did catch my eye was this gorgeous antique looking mirror?

This one was $90 though.

And the smaller version was 50.

And on day one I got a much bigger gold mirror for the same price.

So I didn't get these.

Well, I had no luck in Vinnie's and I was just about to get in the car and leave and I supported this.

This is a lifeline.

I completely forgot this was here.

I'm excited.

It looks like they got heaps of stuff.

My mom used to bring me to this lifeline when I was younger and the reason I forgot about it was because it's mostly homewares and when I was younger, there was nothing more boring to me than plates, lamps and vases.

But I'm a homeowner now and I'm almost 30.

And if you're a nineties baby that also collects quirky mugs, you'll understand the joy that I felt when I found this, This store seriously had some of the most beautiful glassware I've seen so far.

And I most certainly, oh, my mother.

An apology for all the times.

I declined visiting lifeline with her when I was 16.

I thought I'd hit the jackpot when I found another one of these swirly glass balls to add to my collection.

But then, yeah.

Would you believe it.

The universe smiled upon me today and blessed me with another vintage, like a mushroom lab.

Yeah.

Oh my God.

Look, I don't know if it's divine intervention or what, but I swear on my life that I did not stage that, but I didn't stage that divine intervention.

Or am I the luckiest person in the world?

Maybe that's the same thing.

I'm not sure.

I feel like I shouldn't manifest anything else because maybe I've got limited powers, you know, and if I use them all then I'll never be able to use them again.

Maybe it's like a genie.

Maybe I've got three wishes.

Maybe I've just used two of my wishes and I've only got one left.

So I feel like I shouldn't wish for anything else today, I'm just going to carry on to Westley and Hornsby, et cetera without wanting anything specifically because I don't want to use up my magic.

I'm lost.

I am so lost.

I have never been to Westley before and I can see the salvos on the map, but I can't find it.

It's okay.

I found it.

It's in this shopping center.

I thought that it was gonna be like a stand alone thing.

But look, there's the sign up there salvos so I had no idea this store existed.

And when I found around google maps, I expected it would be tiny, like the vinnie's at pennant Hills, But it was huge.

They had an enormous selection of homewares, like this pastel toothbrush holder for $1.

I don't have to put toothbrushes in it.

I can put plants in it if I want.

Love a good Pokemon find and love pastoral ice cream bowls.

I spotted this guy which is the same as the set from day one.

I've seen this rainbow mug at so many stores and I'm starting to think people get rid of it because it's not particularly practical to drink out of a rectangular opening.

I would have died for this iridescent bag a few years ago, but these days I prefer to spend my money on pastel martini glasses instead.

Yeah.

So this place used to be called the wombat store.

I think it was, it's another off shop.

I didn't realize that they've changed a fusion of shop, but let's have a look.

I'm constantly amazed by how many cool glass basis I keep finding and I loved this but I thought it was a little too expensive.

Does anyone recognize that logo on the side?

I would love to know where it's from.

I am denied about it for so long, but I couldn't figure out what it was meant to be used for.

Is it a base?

Is it a bowl?

Is it a cup?

Anyway, someone started coughing up along and despite me wearing a mask and there being no new cases in my state for weeks on end.

I high tailed it out of there because someone coughing once gives me anxiety after Vinny's historically down the road here.

It's literally just in a straight line.

I probably could have left my car where it was.

But if I end up buying anything bulky, I don't wanna have to carry it down the street.

So just a couple of 100 m down this way and there's a big vinnie's all right.

Here we are.

High hopes.

I've got high, high hopes.

It's parallel to a train station.

So if you don't drive, don't worry, you can easily get here.

Oh my God, look another one of my horcruxes and it's an iridescent novel.

Hey, recognize this guy.

This is from the same collection as a vase I saw out of the Salvos Enrichment on Day one.

I didn't get that vase, but now that I found a second piece from that collection, I think I need to race back out there for it.

This thing is crazy.

Just pause for a moment and read it.

It might not be a mushroom lamp, But it's still shaped like mushroom.

This cell does is on the other side of the train line to the first two stores.

So if you aren't driving, it's a fair bit of a walk, but it had a really large selection of items.

So I would say that it's worth it.

Just don't try to make the walk on a 40° day.

I both hate and love this mirror at the same time.

And would you look at that?

It's another noodle vase.

It's from the same collection as the four I found on day one.

This little pink plate is from the same set as a plate I spotted at the lifeline in pennant Hills.

Didn't buy it.

But I find it crazy how I keep finding matching items so far apart from each other.

So this little store is a converted house sitting on old Northern Road in Galston.

I've driven past it so many times and I've never gone in.

They had a pretty good selection of items ranging from homewares to clothes and it was reasonably priced too.

But there was nothing I wanted.

I left feeling a little bit disappointed.

But also you've got to remember that you don't always have to buy something.

Don't write a store off because I didn't have what you wanted.

Give him some time to restock and check back in a couple of weeks and remember just have fun.

Just enjoy looking at quirky items.

You don't always have to buy something.

Yeah.

I headed to the salvos in Dural and other favorite of mine for many, many years.

I literally have this at home and look, the doughnut life is still there.

This is so cool.

It's a coffee table with four mini coffee tables underneath it.

I headed to the vinnie's at round corner where I once again found some very interesting bases.

This one must have come from new Zealand because it was sweet as bro.

I was so tempted by this cushion and I would have bought it.

But I got distracted by this.

I have two of these at home already.

So obviously I had to get another one.

Mhm.

Once I was done here, I headed along Andy Grove Road and I popped out near the vinnie's at Rouse Hill.

This is a really small store with a tiny homeware selection.

These glasses were cool but they had no base on them when you're drinking what's gonna fall over first you or your glass?

I loved this frame but it had this beautiful porcelain floral artwork with it and I didn't want to destroy it by ripping that out and putting a photo in it.

They color coordinate their clothing here, which is very helpful.

And look at these iridescent wine glasses.

So tempting.

Mm hmm.

Yeah, I have my build, Hong I have some South african drinks.

This is twist.

I don't really know what it is, but I'll give it a try and it's like the one and uh look, I was gonna give up for the day.

But but seeing as I'm in Rose hill, I'm going to make the trek to Windsor and potentially Richmond, I'll see how I go for time.

It's just coming on three o'clock.

Unfortunately the Windsor salvos is going to be shut.
