A thrift shopper was thrilled after they found several vintage bedroom pieces for an incredible price.
The lucky Redditor was at an estate sale when they stumbled on a stunning vanity set for just $45. They shared photos of their incredible find to r/ThriftStoreHauls.
"Found the art deco waterfall vanity and dresser of my dreams for $45," they wrote. "Yes, it was $45 for all items; the vanity, the chair and the dresser. Found at an estate sale."
It's a gorgeous matching set, including a vanity with a mirror, a cushioned stool, and a four-drawer dresser. For $45, it's a total steal.
Vintage finds and incredible deals aren't uncommon for thrift shoppers. Shopping secondhand — estate sales, consignment stores, garage sales — can save you over $1,700 each year, according to CouponFollow.
Whether you're looking for clothing, furniture, appliances, or something else, you can probably find it at the thrift store. One shopper found an $800 coffee machine for just $10. Another thrifter bought a designer Prada top, originally priced at over $1,500, for $1.
Not only is thrifting better for your wallet, but it's also better for the environment. Each year, the world produces hundreds of billions of items, a majority of which will inevitably end up in a landfill, where they'll sit for hundreds or thousands of years.
Shopping secondhand lowers the demand for new items and reduces production-related carbon pollution. By donating your old stuff and thrifting, you're extending the lifespan of already-existing items to keep them in circulation and out of landfills.
Fellow thrift shoppers congratulated the Redditor on their purchase and expressed a bit of jealousy, too.
"Gorgeous!!! I'm moving soon and I'm hoping to find some similar beauties," one commenter shared. "That's such a good deal."
