"It was MY TIME at the thrift today… oh that's not all… full haul coming soon!!" read text superimposed over the video.

You can almost feel Halle's excitement through the screen. Collectors don't always get to feel that emotion often, but thrift stores can make it a little more common.

Stores stocked with donated goods can offer everything from everyday home goods to unusual or hard-to-find pieces at steep discounts.
That helps shoppers stretch their budgets while keeping usable products in circulation for longer.
Buying secondhand also reduces demand for newly manufactured goods, which can cut down on resource use, packaging waste, and clutter bound for landfills.
No matter what the find is, secondhand shopping can make quality items more accessible while giving old favorites new life. You never know what you'll find if you decide to take a look.
What are people saying?
People in the comments were stunned by the haul and even shared some of their own thrift finds.
One commenter joked, "my rural a** thrift shops could never."
"Bro you just used up 5 years of thrifting luck," said another person.
"I'm claiming this luck next time I go thrifting," a third person wrote.
