A happy Redditor posted a picture of a beautiful rug that they found at a thrift store, and people were envious.
The Reddit post was titled "Ruggable bug rug!" and featured two pictures. The first showcased the lovely, dark teal rug with an intricate insect design, and the second displayed the $7 price tag from the thrift store.
The original poster said in the caption, "I love bugs, I bought it solely for the fact it is covered in bugs! [Imagine] my surprise when i find out is a very pricey rug!"
The rug, from the popular brand Ruggable, retails for $259. These rugs are expensive due to their gorgeous designs, high quality, and washability. They can be tossed in the laundry and come out looking fresh and clean, making house chores easier.
People pay hundreds and sometimes thousands for Ruggable rugs. But the OP here paid less than $10.
