I would have paid that for the mirror. Prices are going up BUT that’s unique! I always ask myself will I find it anywhere else, will I have a perfect spot for it and have I been looking for one. It definitely has to meet my expectations and criteria. You have a great eye for treasures!

Such a great way to look at it!! I think weighing the pros and cons for those kinds of pieces definitely helps when you are on the fence about something

34.99 is high for a thrift store but you made the right decision. That is a beautiful piece.

My thrift store is going up too, the mirror was a bit pricey but I would have paid that for it too, so beautiful ❤

Thank you!! That’s the way I was feeling as well about it.

Awesome artwork! 🥰 I would’ve paid that for the mirror. You styled around it so well!

I absolutely love the gold mirror!!! So pretty!!! I don’t think you can even get anything like that here for under $50!!! The art work is beautiful 2!!! ❤

I Love the Mirror! Our Momma always said if it’s what you want get it! You only Live Once! Love your haul! I was so Tickled when I got a Notification you had a Video up! Love u girl!

yes, the mirror!.....and I dig the "old world" type artwork

You did good on the mirror…don’t overthink the price.. $34 is a good deal for those style mirrors..we expect thrift stores to be less expensive because they are overturned items but..think of the item…compared to what it can retail as new…paying up on a rare item that you come across when thrifting can make up for it when you score on others items that are less…those mirrors average $99 on up…keep up the good thrifting,..😊 1

That mirror was worth it.. love

Omg I love the green painting❤ my favorite color is green so I would’ve picked it up in a heartbeat

Green is such a great color to decorate with! One of my favorites too!

Love the Pinocchio book ❤

Awesome buy on that beautiful mirror. Wish I could find one like it.

Rachel I think you did good because even the more expensive stuff it’s ok if it’s what makes you happy😊 the mirror it’s beautiful and I would have gladly paid that for it, love that brass bowl as well, can’t wait til next time😁👍🏻

The mirror is stunning, so on trend and a great price. Good thrift store pricers keep up with the trends and price accordingly. They will price an item like that for the every day consumer while trying to cut out the reseller. My church thrift store knows what their stuff is worth and that thrift store is always crowded because they have great stuff.

Yes I agree. I think this goodwill is really doing their research on the items they see coming in too.

I love that mirror and I would have also paid that price for it. I’m sure every time you look at it you’ll be glad you picked it up. 😊

That golden mirror was definitely worth $35 ! That style of mirror is in right now and the price you paid was great (and I am frugal) 😁

Love this video concept!!❤

Wow! It is so crazy what some thrift stores are charging these days. I can’t believe you only paid .99 for that Pinocchio book. Great find. Your mirror is gorgeous! You got a great deal on that for sure. This was a fun video. Yes, I’d watch more like this. Thanks for taking us along. See ya soon. 😊❤😊🙏

This was a very informative video. I liked everything you found. The brass bowl was gorgeous and definitely a splurge, but I feel splurges ar part of thrifting if they give you an emotionl response. In my experience those emotional items are often my long time loves. However I think the art you found in the cheap thrifting was a fabulous find and could bee long time lovs as well.

Great mirror

Hi Rachel New subscriber. Enjoyed the video. TFS

Defo not expensive for that mirror! Im from the uk and youd pay alot more for that ! Your so lucky over there your thrift stores are amazing compared to ours!!! ❤

The mirror is really worth what you paid for it.

good price

Love the thrifted mirror ..$34 hmm 🤔 But it has character and love the aged gold ..a lot of thrift stores are bumping up prices it’s ridiculous but I’m a thrifter and like you I need to ding new thirst stores here in Las Vegas ..but over all you did great 👍🏼

It definitely doesn’t feel like thrifting sometimes when the prices get really high.

Mirrors are expensive, even for plain ones. I think you got a good deal on your beautiful one. Question about the hand painted picture, to me it looked like wisteria. I would have hung it upside down from how you were holding it. Did the artist have a hanger on the back?

@RachelGThrifts

No they didn’t but there was writing and it was upside down so I think you are right with the way it’s supposed to be hanging on the wall!

True! I don’t think I’ve found a style mirror like that with all the pieces intact

I’m somewhat local to you and I agree about thrift/vintage stores getting pricey. I was just in the Finger Lakes region and most prices were kind of ridiculous. To be fair though that is a touristy area.

Yes this particular thrift store ebbs and flows but lately they have gotten higher in price again.

That green picture looks like it is warping. S9.99 was too much for that. $34 for that mirror was too much and I probably would not have bought it.

That mirror in a Bay Area thrift store would be I we $100 🥺

No old mirror in that condition are in demand. The price you paid was very reasonable. Actually it was on low end. I am from Sweden

Wow really?? Glad to think it was a better deal than I originally thought!

I just finished your video and I have noticed thrift stores popping up in my area are similar to consignment shops, except they aren’t. They’re just priced high, unfortunately. Most of them claim to go towards church programs, homeless shelters and domestic women centers like mutual ground and I have to trust they do and some I know do fund these programs. So I’d like to think it’s going towards a good cause! Currently I’m on my way to Kane county flea market! Let’s see if I find any treasures decently priced lol

Most our thrift stores are very pricy according to what they were a couple years ago,, so the prices you paid are about the same as here . I would definitely have paid that for the mirror because it’s a nice one and here it would have been probably 50 or more.

It's a business like any other. Gotta pay overhead.

U Definitely paid to much. Paying that much defeats the whole purpose of thrifting. Could probably get it for that price In a antique shop. My favorite goodwill went crazy with their prices so I had to start going else where, even if I had to drive just a little further. I use to work for goodwill and 35 for a vintage mirror is priced very high. I hear goodwill is now trying to be like a Walmart In pricing. It’s getting ridiculous. Love your videos ❤

You over paid. There is no reason for their stuff to be that high. It is price gouging. Most of their stuff is donated.

Do some more research on your book, think you got a real treasure.
