    The irony of Habitat for Humanity destroying perfectly good furniture.

    • @AB-un4io
      @AB-un4io Před rokem +7

      I know, right? 🤦🏼‍♀️ I can’t help but wonder how the people doing the donating would feel about that irony if the H for H’s ReHome Store told them of that potential eventuality? It’s not a good look. Doesn’t represent well. = (

    • @mykijiji1958

      Exactly! Why don’t they have their stuff on a sliding scale price system. If it sits there for a month, the price drops, another month, the price drops again. On a shorter time frame if need be! You can’t tell me someone wouldn’t have snatched that up if it was only $25. Anything seems better than DESTROYING it and tossing it!!

    Daddy needs a trailer when he goes to the Humanity dumpster. When he is there if they cut the main chair up and not the big cushions he should bring them home for new dog beds or kitty cat beds. Great haul Frugal Daddy.

    Frugal Daddy.......you need to start thinking about a little truck. If you are hauling furniture (and nice, new furniture), you have outgrown the station wagon. You never know what else you will find. New appliances may be next.....every dumpster diver needs another freezer and/ or refrigerator. A little truck will be perfect for all that you find. You are one of the best. Frugal Mommy does not waste anything. You are the perfect pair (pear....LOL).
    Love your videos. I would rather watch you and the smiling dog versus a rerun. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

      @TinaSpencer-mr1cp Před rokem +5

      And how quick they are to discard it instead of reducing the price or donating it elsewhere. In our town there is a local organization that accepts used furniture and household items that are then used to furnish homes for families coming out of homelessness. Gotta believe there are places like that near this restore. Plus our local organization will even come and PICK IT UP!

      Anything to do with the government funding it and nonprofit are basically just fronts to swindle more money out of the public assistance programs…like goodwill…they hire hard to hire folks out of rehab or jail…so they get to say they’re a 501c3 tax exempt…they fail to mention they only pay those poor folks $2-$3/hour and work them like dogs

    I'd go back and get that furniture and go get some liquid stitch and a piece of material. Take the material and put it under the cut spot, put the cut pieces together and put liquid stitch on the cut. Put a piece of parchment paper or wax paper on top, and Iron the cut. Boom it's fixed!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁

And then the last thing, oh my goodness, how cute is your big fur baby on the sofa upside down, give him a big kiss from me.Mummy, Daddy, you have such a lovely family, human, and non-human. 🥰🇬🇧🐾🧣

    My mum used to reupholster furniture as an occasional hobby, all you need is a large upholstery heavy duty staple g.u.n (in case CZcams censor!), get that fabric off (referring to the couch frugal daddy panned over that they’d cut 🙄) & you’ll always find fabric on sale or online, you can sew large buttons onto the back cushions, but if the main section is damaged get that staple g.u.n. out & have fun. Lots of great videos here on CZcams if you’ve got the time - flip the furniture & make some money.
    Angers me that any company would throw away perfectly good furniture like that.

    Habitat for Humanity need to change their name. It’s such a shame that instead of giving the donated home goods to ppl that they were intended for, they prefer to destroy/throw in the dumpster.
    I was going to ask how they sleep, then I realized, very well bcuz they have no conscience nor heart for the less fortunate. Sad.
    I’m so happy when FD can haul some from the dumpster.

    yummmm, I would blend all of the melon up with a bit of ice and enjoy dinking agua fresca with supper. No need to add sugar unless you want to. Melon is excellent for digestion and good gut health.
