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.

Get cost-effective air conditioning in less than an hour without expensive electrical work

The Merino Mono is a heating and cooling system designed for the rooms traditional HVAC can't reach. The streamlined design eliminates clunky outdoor units, installs in under an hour, and plugs into a standard 120V outlet — no expensive electrical upgrades required.

And while a traditional “mini-split” system can get pricey fast, the Merino Mono comes with a flat-rate price — with hardware and professional installation included.

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."
