As a crocheter, I want to say a huge thank you for saving that baby blanket. Someone worked long and hard on that and I’m so glad you saved it! 💜
@taraelink
Not only did you shop sustainably, but you also gave us restoration/re-use in one video?! Absolutely standing ovation happening rn lady!!!!! Thank you so much, I LOVED this type of content! You could do this all day and I'm here for it!!!!
@thewendyweather
As a sewist and a seamstress the bins are a MUST for thrift fabrics for projects. And DO NOT be afraid of 'The Vultures' they are like bees if you dont bother them, they wont bother you. There's usually a side group (mostly older ladies) that are shopping for quilting fabrics, etc. Just vibe with those people LOL

I'm a low income person, intergenerationally, and have thrifted and revamped clothes my whole life. The bins was definitely one of our favorite places, and you're exactly right, the resellers have come much later! I must admit, the thrift stores are a different world for us now. I love that younger generations are looking for second hand clothes because it's much more sustainable. But I am not crazy about the resellers, it takes away us poorer folks from having a chance to score a nice quality item that lasts. I have a great Michael Kors jacket that's lasted me for years and years, and I wouldn't have been able to afford it without thrifting. I love that you're showing folks the options they have at thrift stores, and how much better it can be to find things there and make them your own. I recently made a cloak out of a set of cotton and linen blend Ikea curtains found at goodwill. I dyed them, too! Thanks for the fun Mia, and the great nuance you gave us about the bins, too!

Insider info: I used to work for Goodwill. The stuff at the bin place is a combination of rejects that never made it to the sales floor at the regular stores. And pulls from the rack that didn't sell in around a month or more depending on the volume of the location. They usually alternate the color of the tags or the plastic piece that holds them each week. That way they know how long the merchandise has been on the sales floor. If a rack is starting to get too full to shop they will pull all the pieces with the same color tag and send it to the bin place. That is why you are able to find the random gem in the bin.

Make this a series please! I would love a monthly bin shopping saving iconic items from the landfill. Also maybe you can sell it or do a giveaway at the end of a quarter of doing the episodes

I love how she went from big shein hauls to being this sustainable And this specific video shows that being sustainable is way cheaper and cooler than being a wasteful shein shopper

I'm in Kitchener ON, and there's a place called "Crazy Bins" near my place. Their pay set-up is slightly different though. They start their 'week' on Friday around noon, and this is "Day 1". Each day moving forward the prices go down. I can't remember exactly, but I believe Day 1 is $25 per item, day 2 is $25, Day 3 is $20, Day 4 is $15, Da5 is $10, and Day 6 is $5. On the final 2 days they're SO desperate to get rid of whatever crap is left that they'll give shoppers these ginormous clear garbage bags to fill for $5 each, lol. Thursday's are closed to get rid of the leftovers(somehow?) and to clean and bring in their latest shipment of stuff. It can be so fun! Randomly throughout the day as bins get low, they bring out fresh full bins. People go insane! Lololol.

The scarf, pink tank and flared jeans was SUCH A LIZZIE MCGUIRE LOOK!

When I was a single mom, I shopped goodwill and thrift stores a lot for clothes. It’s a habit that continues now. I always felt guilty for not being able to buy my kid clothes from the regular stores. Recently we were looking through some old photos of her school days..I realized she looked more fashionable than most of the other kids. Lol she told me that kids were always asking where she got her clothes but would always say she didn’t know..more picked it up somewhere lol. It relieved some of the guilt but looking back..I did what I had to do. And yes it is fun searching for those special finds. I never spent more than $15 for formal gowns. Her high school had 3 or 4 formals a year. No way could we afford $300 plus on a gown.
@hannahjohnson1213
I love how she just cleared her closet out and immediately went thrifting 🤣
@caralmk
I still remember when mia didn't know how to sew AT ALL and glued everything... And now she's sooo good at sewing! You go girl!
@JUJU-._.-
Something I love about Mias content is all her videos are so drama free. It’s just happy cute videos she never fed into the whole YouTube dramas
@strayiggytv
I like how you can tell mia understands the bins because she knows to wear gloves lol. I've found knives, glass, nails and a machete in the bins
