I love to watch you on Tuesday on PTL in Pittsburgh on KDKA. You and Heather and David are so good together ❤️ 💗
My husband and I have been binge watching your videos. My dad would have LOVED you! Trying to learn as much as we can. Thank you! ❤️

Do you complain that Goodwill is overpriced? Well, I found this Rosenthal biscuit jar shooting videos today in Goodwill Swpa. Priced at $2.99. Resells at $90 based on ACTUAL sales. ... See MoreSee Less
The point is the treasure hunt is real! Great stuff is out there.
I love that look on your face! I can hear you say, “Look at this!”
Trips to the thrift stores are fine. I really miss the other videos you used to do. Real bargains and such. Are you going to be doing the other videos again?
Where do u find out what something is worth?
Where would you sell it for that?
That’s so pretty! Did you buy it?
I went to Goodwill this week to get some stuff for some baskets for a fundraiser. Sorry, but the pricing was ridiculous and overpriced, the stuff AND the baskets. Wish I'd found something like that!
Beautiful piece! I don’t believe I have see one of these brands before. Thank you for educating us Dr. Lori. ❤️
That’s awesome! I wish I knew a bargain so I don’t by junk lol
Goodwill is awesome depending on where you live. Metro Atlanta has wonderful stores.
So did you buy it? Hope so.
it just depends on the store. the one near where I live has upped prices so that it is hard to find those deals. Right now nothing is less than $4.99. I just don't go as often.
Nice find, Dr. Lori. Looks like you are having fun 😉 😀 😄 ❤️
I enjoy the thrift store videos, since they are items that I can see myself finding.
Would love to shop with you when you are in PA.
What goodwill store were you at?
That would be $25 at my Goodwill!
Love that face ! Always know when you've scored a deal !
Beautiful!
I love it and you
Yes some of things are
Pittsburgh area stores are ridiculously priced...if you go 50 miles away from the city, prices are much more reasonable. ☹️
It is overpriced, but there are a FEW finds. Example: selling a former pasta sauce container (ragu) for .99.
Woohoo Dr Lori 🔥 🔥 🔥
Only because they didn't know what it was. If they had, it never even would have touched the shelves. It would have gone to online auction. 🙄
