Thrifting in Portsmouth, New Hampshire!

Join me for a 1-day road trip to New Hampshire! I'll stop at two different thrift stores in Portsmouth on my way to visit my son in Durham, NH. We'll also make a stop for lunch and shopping in Kittery, Maine. When we return home, I'll show you my haul and explain what I plan to do with my new finds.
Here's the link to my ebay store: www.ebay.com/s...
I update my inventory on a regular basis, so be sure to visit often!

As a native of CT, who escaped to the Seacoast region of New Hampshire 20 years go, I wanted to assure you that you were looking for bargains in the wrong place. EVERYTHING in Portsmouth is outrageously priced. There are tons of better places to thrift on the other side of “The Bridge”(the Durham side). Also, you said you’d be broke if you lived that close to Kittery - hint - if you did you wouldn’t shop there in high tourist season. You’d go before and after when they usually have good sales. ( Hint; best time is late October through mid November after leaf peepers leave, before Christmas)

Thank you for the excellent thrifting tips! Next time I'll hit the other side of the bridge for sure.

Hint from a NH Goodwill shopper - the tags with “Hand Picked” on them are much higher priced than the rest of the store.

@WorthingtonHome Ай бұрын

@@CherylDelVicario I thought that at first, but some of the tags that didn't say that were also high. I couldn't figure out their system.

Seacoast NH is terrible for cell service, especially on Lafayette in Portsmouth!

I'm from Portsmouth and it is very hard to "thrift" here! prices are high! Same thing at yard sales here, people price their items so high there often isn't any room for resale 😒Gotta love the yard sales when they print out ebay "listings and put next to the items, Not sold comps just listing prices. Yikes!!

@WorthingtonHome Ай бұрын

WHAT???? They put the listings next to the items? I think I would fall over laughing if I saw that! Craziness!

What an adventure you had, loved seeing the sights and meeting your son. That goodwill was insane. I don't know how they have any customers. Thanks for sharing Kris.

I noticed the name of Charice Cliff on the back of the Royal Staffordshire blue set. She was a popular designer of dishware designs and highly collected. My cats are shedding terribly now, too.

@WorthingtonHome Ай бұрын

Yes, I mentioned the designer's name in my ebay listing. The dishes have already sold! They were so beautiful. Good luck with your shedding situation. I just finished vacuuming! 😂😂

I live in NH and love to thrift but rarely go to any Goodwill here anymore. Goodwill of Northern New England which includes ME, NH and VT just keep raising their prices. Sometimes I’ve seen items I could buy for less money new. I’ve been watching your videos to see good places to thrift in CT. My daughter did the opposite of your son. She left NH for UConn. I sometimes get to thrift when I visit her and her family in CT.

@WorthingtonHome Ай бұрын

I didn't realize that the prices were so much higher in Northern New England! I'm glad you have an excuse to come to Connecticut for your thrifting fix!

They are perfect water shoes! I just ordered another pair in beige because I'm loving them so much. (I'm wearing the blue sandals right now!) I'm very jealous that you live in Florida, by the way.

I cannot BELIEVE those prices at the Goodwill!! They get everything FREE and charge antique store prices…you can do better at antique stores…truthfully!! May I ask why you “side eye” in your videos?

@WorthingtonHome 13 күн бұрын

Good question! I "side eye" to try to avoid the sun glare bouncing back on my glasses. That's why I tend to hold up plates and other items at a side angle as well. I've tried to film in different rooms and filming at different times, but unless I film at night (which I don't enjoy), it's a bit of a problem unless I turn to the side. Also, I agree with you about the prices!

@chellepitts1990 13 күн бұрын

@@WorthingtonHome Thank you for your response…as a photographer, I know the problem with that. However, you can look forward but tilt your head ever so slightly to avoid the glare. OR, get non-reflective lenses! I don’t know if you have seen Sherry on Canterbury Cottage KZfaq, but she also wears glasses and looks directly at the camera. It is much more engaging than side-eye! But you are adorable, and enjoyed your trip to Portsmouth, one of our favorite “haunts.”
