Welcome back everyone to the 2025 Fall Series Shop With Me. Very excited for today's video. I'm going
to be doing a variety of stores, so hope you get something warm or cold to drink, get comfortable,
cast me on your TV, on your iPad, or on your phone. We are going to be covering Homewoods.
We're going to pop back into Ross. We're going to also touch base with another Goodwill thrift
store, so I'm very excited about that. And I may just throw in Dollar Tree. Haven't been there in
a while, so let's go ahead and get into today's Fall Shop With Me. I really hope you enjoy the
video and let's go shopping. Okay you guys, last stop for the night. I've been all over town. I
went to two world markets, a thrift store. Now I'm at a T.J. Maxx and HomeGoods sister neighbor store,
so I'm gonna run into HomeGoods and see if I can find any Joanna Parker, and then I'm gonna run
over to T.J. Maxx because I've already been in HomeGoods. I feel like I'm gonna go into T.J.
Maxx first because I just haven't been in there. I think they both close at the same time. Actually,
you know what? We're just stopping. We're here, so let's go in. I hit the jackpot, you guys. I
bought one of these cups. It was chipped, and now they have all of them. I am so excited.
Wow, this is crazy. Look at, they have them all, and there's a couple down here. Let me not go too
fast. Look at this, you guys. Wow, that's crazy. They didn't have this many last time. So excited,
so excited. Okay, so the first thing I see is all the decor is put together differently in the store.
They have all the pinks and all the blacks together. Super cool. Pink and black are great.
So what are we in here for? We are, oh my god, look at, there's the puff guy,
the puff and stuff. Okay, let me not go too fast because y'all know. Look at this cool setup here.
Look at this. Look at that. Very nice. Okay, let me not swing this around too much
because y'all know I get a little crazy. Oh, here's some foliage and some
florals. See, I was looking for something like this. How much is this?
$24.99. I'm trying to make it, actually. Trying to make something like that.
So, but I don't want to spend too much time in here because they're getting ready to close.
So pretty soon, not right this minute, but okay. So let's look for Joanna Parker.
This is kind of cool. That's new. I haven't seen that. Hopefully I'm not going too fast.
I'm just kind of looking all around. Hey boo. Lots of pink, as you can see. Lots of pink.
We are looking for Joanna Parker though. So, oh, this is cool. This one's nice. Look at that.
You guys, they have the bat cup that I've been wanting forever.
What? Okay, definitely getting that. Getting that for sure because I've been looking for that. Oh,
look at this. This is all Joanna Parker. This one. Let me take some pictures of these. Okay,
took a couple of photos for my thumbnail. Um, that's kind of cute. This little house is really
cute. Very cool. But I'm looking for Joanna Parker. So let me continue on. This is pretty
cool too. I've seen several of these. They're pretty decently priced too. I think these are
$5.99. I can't remember. Um, let me see. Yeah, those are $5.99. The thing about some of these
is you can't put them in the microwave and that's why I refrain from getting them because I'm like,
you can't put them in the microwave. And I always heat up my coffee. It's a regimen with mine.
So I'm just trying to find cups that are microwave safe. Okay, I saw these. I made
an accent piece for my tray of what I'm going to do. And this one looks pretty good. It's $6.99.
I think that's a candle. I'm not sure, but it's perfectly for what I need it for because I need
it to be really small. So I may consider getting that. I also saw this little dish right here,
which I thought was really cute. I also like this pumpkin spice mug is really cute. Now remember,
cups went up. They're cheaper here though. That's what's weird is I've been to several
different home goods and stuff and TJ Maxx. And every time I go there, every time I go to each
location, they're different, which just mind boggles me. Okay. So here's several of the cups.
I don't see any bats, but I could be in the wrong place. So we're going to continue to hunt,
you know, Oh, here's the pumpkins though. The pumpkins are $12.99. I'm very, I'm very tempted
to get those. Um, I see other ones down on the bottom there. There's some Halloween's ones
tucked in the side there. Um, I'm very tempted to get those pumpkin ones. Very tempted. They
do have some teddy bear ones as well, which I, I don't know if those are going viral on
Tik TOK girl. I have no idea, but the type of glasses I'm looking for are these, but with the
bats. So that's what I'm looking for as we speak. So let me continue the hunt and see if I can find
you guys. I am just seeing all kinds of stuff randomly, but this is the Joanna Parker salt
and shaker set for fall. Super cute. Just spotted that I'm looking for the Frankenstein. I don't
know why I didn't pick it up at the other one, but I definitely need to get that one. Um, I'm
going to get this back up cause I've been wanting to get it for a while and I've just been passing
on it every time and I'm going to get it. And then I need some coasters as well. I really do
need some coasters. Oops. These look like donuts. They're cute though. Here's some regular wood
ones. Those are $5.99. I might just get those cause they're basic and they're like, you can
use them all year long. I think those might be the same price back there. So I prefer the square
though because my table is circular. So I'm trying not to go too crazy with all the circular stuff
because I feel like I'm going a little bit far with it. Okay. I thought it was in TJ Maxx and
I wasn't. I was in HomeGoods. So I'm here on the hunt for Joanna Parker. They have, oh, looky here,
looky here. Let's see. This is the last location. Cause this is, this is like on the other side of
town. This one is neat. Look how neat this is you guys. That's a Snookin one. That's so cute.
But I'm like, I'm on the hunt for Joanna Parker. So let's, here they have the same back cup,
but I just, let's see, it's $6.99 next door. It's $7.99 here. So very interesting that the
mugs are about a dollar more here. So let me scan the aisles you guys, I am running out of time
and I will come back and tell you guys what I got at the end. Okay, you guys, I just hopped
into this aisle. These two candle, amber candlesticks are only $7.99 and I believe this
was $6.99. There's no price on it, but I'm going to venture to say it's probably a dollar more
or less, excuse me. And then they have these gold ones as well. I didn't see how much these are.
They're very light. $7.99. And I bet you the big one is $8.99. $8.99. I don't know you guys,
I may just grab those. I have to see them. I'm on the hunt for my Joanna Parker mug though. So
I'll be back. Okay. This pumpkin you guys is adorbs. Look at it. It's got little bows on it.
So cute. This one too. This one's more fun and cute. So that one is really cute. I love that.
These are kind of interesting. They are candle holders, I believe.
This is interesting as well. It's a candle. It's an acorn candle. This is some garland.
Keep saying I'm going to, I'm just running out of time. They're going to close. So I keep trying
I don't see Joanna Parker anywhere. This is the viral teddy bear jar, I guess,
that everybody's talking about. They have plenty of them. There are like five. I don't know if
that's the exact one, but I've seen four or five different styles of those. So those are super
cute. So here's some more. If you're looking for this cookie jar, there's plenty of people
looking for that, I guess, or at least according to Instagram and TikTok. But I am on the hunt for,
I just want the scarecrow. I found the scarecrow at another TJ Maxx at another location and I
didn't buy it and I'm just kicking myself. So I don't know, but I do need to go back into Home
Goods and buy the two mugs that I found. So this is all like autumn, super pretty.
There's another one of those pumpkins. Oh, look, jackpot. Let's see. Hopefully there's a Joanna
Parker hidden over here somewhere. Let's see. Let's see. Oh, look at this one. Interesting.
What? Look how cool that is, you guys. How much is that? I think it says $5.99. Wow. I might get
that one. I might get that one. I don't have any orange. Sorry. I'm trying to focus on what I'm
doing. I don't want to break it. Sorry. I just don't want to break it. All right. Let me try to
see. There's an overall view of everything I'm looking at, but I'm going to try to sift through
all of it because usually in editing, I see something I didn't see before. So I'm going to
try to go through all these and see if I can find the scarecrow. I don't see it at the moment,
but they also have some mugs up front as well. So let's let me. What? What? What?
It's right here. There's two of them. Oh my gosh. There's two of them, you guys. Oh my goodness.
Okay, guys. Just want to jump in here. I'm going to jump over to Ross. I had another clip and I
lost it. So stay tuned for the future videos and I will show you everything I got at TJ Maxx.
That night I was popping in everywhere and everything was about to close. So I apologize
for not continuing that clip, but I went ahead and ran over to Ross as well. And then from there,
we are going to go to Dollar Tree. So just kind of wanted to catch you up in case you were like,
but wait a minute, what happened? Well, that's pretty much, I just, I can't find the clip.
So my apologies, but let's go ahead and move into Ross and see what they had.
Okay, you guys, I'm in Ross. Just randomly ran in here. Oh, is that Joanna? This isn't Joanna
Parker. Monster. These are $4.99. Wow. So cute. Sorry. Excuse me. Um, I don't know what I,
oh, I know. I came in here because I saw the candles and I went down the wrong aisle.
Okay. This is cute. I'm looking for something for my nightstands. Oh, look at,
how much are their charcuterie boards? I need charcuterie boards for the kitchen.
And I don't know. $12.99. I think, I think they're just about the same price at like, um,
did you max? $10.99. So they're not, they're not outrageous. I always thought there were more.
Look at these. I'm looking for some kind of like fall. What I really want is a runner though.
That's what I really want is a runner. Sorry if I'm going too fast.
Um, and I thought about having some coasters as well. $5.99. Wow. Those are crystal.
I want bats though. I'm on this bad thing. I don't know what's wrong with me.
Oh, hey, are these on clearance? Are these on clearance? $6.99. Sorry. Excuse me.
Okay. Hold on. I'll go back over there in just a second.
Uh, so I've seen this cut too. I've seen it a few times. This one right here. And I keep kind
of bypassing it, but, and it's not really, just not really my style to be honest. $5.99.
And you can't, the thing about these cups that is so cute, but you can't
microwave them. Like even the ones I have in my cart right now that I haven't shown you yet.
Um, you can't microwave them. So that's the only thing I'm a little bit worried about.
These are not holiday oriented. Okay. So I went straight.
I'm trying to be purpose. I'm trying to shop with purpose these days,
but I do need, I don't know if I want black faces. I just don't like this style.
So I'm just going to go three. Sorry. Oh boy. Okay. Let's see. I, um, see there's this one.
This one's okay. How much is this? I can't see. Hold on. $5.99. I kind of want something wide
though. Like I found these ones that, um, uh, what's it called? Walmart. You know how much I
love Walmart. Um, $3.99. These would go in my room. I don't know what to do for the fall.
Here's all their candles. I don't know what to do. Citrus salt. I was looking for, um,
I don't want to spend all my money here, but, Oh, that smells good. That smells really good.
Cause I just need an accent. I need an accent for my nightstands in the guest room.
And I don't know what to put in there. Like I want candles, but they don't really have
like, here's a, I don't know what's happening with my allergies right now, but
that one smells good. That one smells good. I want to get a wax warmer too. Oh, here's one too.
Look. Cause I need, there's so much orange in that room. I need like one on each side.
I just need us like a little one that smells good too. And it's got a leaf on it.
So that one smells really good. How much is this one? $9.99.
I don't really need big ones though. I just need small ones like this one. How much is this one?
$6.99. Let's see if I can put one on each side. Um,
Oh, look, there's a more orange though. I'm trying to stay away from orange.
I got to put the lid on this one. I don't really know. I want to make that one smell good though.
Toasted pumpkin. Ooh. Let's see.
I can't, I can't open that. Pumpkin wood. That's an interesting,
uh, that smells really citrusy. Do you want me to move? Okay. Thank you. Um, okay. So these are huge.
That's only $20. That giant, that giant candle right there.
Yeah. Let's see. I don't know. I'm wondering if I shouldn't wait for TJ Maxx.
This is cool. Sacred sandalwood. That's cool. That's really neat. Um, I need a trinket box
too. I was just saying that to myself yesterday. I need a trinket box. I got to come back for that.
The bedroom stuff isn't really a big deal.
I don't know what to do. This is probably a more affordable place to put candles in.
These two or these two. I might skip it though. Let's see. I think that's it.
This pick is $6.99. I don't like the big sunflower. I'm not a big sunflower fan.
Um, I still can, I want to go to Dollar Tree for the florals,
but I think that's it. I think I'm going to get them, get out of here.
There's some Halloween mats and stuff as well. Right there. This is buy. Um,
I want to go into the thrift store and see if they have any, um,
I need florals. So what's this? This goes, what's this?
How much are these? $9.99. I think you can get these cheaper though at, um,
at, uh, Hobby Lobby. Like, you know, when they're $9.99 and you get 40% off or whatever.
So I think, I think I'm just about done. I think I'm going to run into the thrift store next.
Yeah. Okay. So I'm going to go ahead and get on out of here and then you'll have to stay tuned
to the shopping channel and see what I got. Okay. So before I leave this store, I just thought I
would share with you this owl. It is adorable. It's $15. It's so cute. It is really adorable.
How cute. Okay. So we are now in the thrift store and I'm looking for,
I'm looking for some books. Not too many. I need like three and I don't normally buy books
from the thrift store, but I'm looking for black. The, um, the inside. That's funny.
See, I'm looking for black. How much is that? $7.99? No.
I just, I was looking for like ones that have just like a black casing
on the inside, but I'm not paying $7. I'm not paying $7 for a book in the thrift store.
I'm just not, it's way too much. $2.99. Ooh, that's a nice color. Ooh, like that. $2.99.
That's a beautiful color. Look how pretty that jacket is. I mean the casing. It says purple
tags are half off. So if I get this in black for the fall, $2.99. And then I just need either a
brown one or brown would be even better if I could get brown. So let's, let's look for a dark brown
casing. I'm going to put this one in here for now. Let me see. Okay, you guys, I popped into
grocery outlet. I don't know why, but the thrift store ended up being a bust, but I saw at first,
I didn't find anything. And I asked the girl and I guess all the fall and Halloween stuff was
merged and it was actually on the other side, um, or near the registers. So there were a lot of cute
things here, maybe reasonably priced, excuse me. Um, I think a lot of this merch is very,
very similar to what you'll find in dollar general. Um, the candles were reasonably priced
for the size. I think as you can see, I did not smell them though, unfortunately. I, I guess what
lost my interest was the actual packaging. It was a bit loud, but I did like them, you know, the
yellow and the orange that we just passed. And then I saw these, Oh, I saw this material pumpkins.
They were 7.99. I've seen these on the Walmart website as well, but they were, uh, had a shipping
price. So a lot of what I'm pointing out is just some small items. You know, um, they did have some
of the, uh, shaped string lights. We saw those at dollar tree. We see them every year. They have
about 10, I think lights in them. Um, and then I saw these candy corn lights. Now I've seen these
many times. The thing I will warn you, if you see any of these anywhere, cause a lot of people
have been getting excited about them. One thing I will warn you about these is that they are
extremely, they get super hot, like super hot. So just be mindful when you put them, if you're
going to weave them into anything, just make sure that after you turn them on or maybe testing them,
maybe plugging them in isolated, um, you know, turning them on for like five minutes and then
going back and feeling the bulbs. Because what I learned was some of the ones that I bought at 99
a few years back is that they are extremely hot. So hopefully these are not the same. I think that's
excellent price. $3.99 for as many as you get. So I may go back and grab a few, but just be mindful
that when you buy some of these, you know, character lights, if you will, um, they just
tend to get really, really hot. Okay. You guys, I have not been in Dollar Tree in months and these
are, as far as I know, these are only $3, but look at those. Those are kind of cool.
These are really nice. And then there's this black one right here. I really love the ones with the
crows or the ravens or whatever they are, but I love those and I can't decide because I need,
I need the white ones for my room and I need the black ones for my office. So cute though.
$3, $6, $9, $12. That's only $12 if they're $20. I'm going to go scan them.
You guys, what in the living daylights, $7 at Dollar Tree. What?
They really are becoming five below. I haven't been in here in months. Wow. $6 or $5. I think
that's insane. What is happening right now? I haven't been here in ever. Wow. Okay. You guys,
I scored, they have everything here. I don't know what, but I think they're not selling very well
because they're so high. These are $7. I think I saw a YouTuber show these that only paid five.
I feel like, but they could be $7 across the board. But yeah, what is dollar, what is happening
right now? They are just going five. So I mean, that's crazy to me. They're super cute, but I
wouldn't pay $14 for two of these. Not when I could go to home goods or TJ Maxx. Wow. Very
expensive though. I can't believe this is Dollar Tree. I can't believe it. So it looks like, um,
the Joanna Parker kind of, you know, type of style is in right now. Everybody has it.
These are kind of cool. They're kind of like beetle juicy. So you can see those up there.
They have lots of fall. Also, I was looking for like a, like a knit pumpkin for the beds,
my bed and the downstairs bed, but they have so much cute stuff. There's not, that's not a
question, but just the cost, I feel like for the quality of what they're selling, I don't feel like
it's worth it. So I'm going to pass, but you know, I think the candle holders are worth $3,
but these there's only two, there's only one of each, but that's $14. And I just,
I can't get myself to do that. I don't know what is wrong with me. This is really cute for $5.
It's a candy corn, um, little banner, but you guys just a little bit too much. I'm like, what,
where am I? So there's a little felt pumpkin. Let me see how much that is. Okay. You guys,
this is $7. All of these are $7, but they're just made like the, all the other stuff that we've been
getting from Dollar Tree for years. If they up the quality of it, then I could see paying $7.
But right now you guys, no, that's just a little bit too steep for me. I mean, not when you can
make an arrangement on your own. I have some, I have some florals in my hand and I'm only getting
a few because I want to see what they ring up as. Actually, I could go use the scanner, but
there's a couple of little pumpkins and those are $7. No, but here is what's in my local Dollar
Tree. Ton of stuff, but almost this entire shelf you guys is all $7. So it's just a little bit on
the high side for me. Sorry. Okay. You guys, I popped into Ross in another area and I'm looking
at all this stuff. These are the cups I already have. These are kind of like creamer, little
things I feel like, or maybe it's a mug. It's so cute. Look at this. How cute that is. How much is
that? $5.99. That is so cute. Look how cute that is. I'm looking at all the mugs. Look how cute.
So cute. Look at how cute you guys.
Wow. So cute. So cute. I think I want the girl with the candy. Oh my God. Look it.
I hit, there's the boy and there's the girl. I got to have these instead of the cat. It's so cute.
Autumn comes too soon. The light that flickers will blow away the sight.
And all that blossomed will wither away and die.
I'm not ready. Not just yet. I'm not ready for autumn. Autumn comes too soon.
