A spouse posted an incredible haul on the r/ThriftStoreHauls subreddit. They were able to find a pair of Danner work boots in their husband's size at their local thrift store for only $30.
After a quick Google search, they found that Danner sold these for hundreds of dollars.


"I found a pair of unworn insulated gortex Danner work boots for $30 in my husband's size! Googled them, and they are sold by Danner for $440 new! This is probably my best score to date," the Redditor posted.

The user shared several pictures featuring both the boots they bought and the page on Danner's website showcasing the dichotomy in price. Indeed, Danner boots often run for a hefty price because of their quality and features, such as the Bull Run Moc Toe, which is listed for $250 and similar to the one bought by this Redditor.
Many other shoppers are becoming wise that thrift stores can save them money, including this thrifter who found a $15 Coach bag that would normally have sold for $100. Or this one, who found a $300-plus coffee maker for only $37 at a yard sale.
