19 Photos Of Criminally Overpriced Thrift Store Items That Are Sending Me Into A Full-On Rage Spiral
As someone who hates paying full price for something, I love hitting up the thrift store. But on some of my more recent trips, I've seen some ridiculously priced-up items. I mean, the math ain't mathin' here.

And I'm not alone. Lots of people are sharing their outrage and confusion. Here are some of the WILDEST prices people have spotted from the ThriftGrift subreddit:
1."Local Goodwill selling empty Yoplait yogurt glasses. 🤦"
"I can't stand this. There's nothing stopping me from hitting Target, grabbing one for $1.49, and getting some dope yogurt WITH the glass. Gah."
2."Thought long and hard about this one..."
3."They could have at least matched the TJ Maxx price..."
This next one is gross so you may want to brace yourself:
4."$1.49 AND free pink eye?! What a steal."
"Omg. 🤮 Is that glue? Or some kind of bodily fluid on there?? Why can’t they just throw it away? 😳"
OK, back to our regularly-scheduled programming:
5."Seriously?"
6."We bought this rug new for $20 and used it for three years. We gave it to a thrift store after we got a bigger one. I was shopping around recently and spotted it listed for $70."
7."1998 technology at 1998 prices."
8."I am speechless."
9."Only 99 cents for an open can of green beans."
10."It's so disheartening to see thrift stores hike up prices on toys like this when they get them for free. These shops are supposed to serve low income families, but now, they serve themselves instead."
11."A broken laundry basket for $6.99. Brand new across the street at Target for $4.99."
12."Dirty bag with used pencil, anyone?"
13."Starbucks paper bag listed for $2. You can get it for free from Starbucks..."
14."My local thrift shop put security tags on mugs."
15."I asked, and they told me it wasn't a misprint."
"Is this some kind of important historical relic? Because it looks just like junk from grandma's attic that she bought in the '70's, 'cause it looked like her aunt. No way it's worth that price. Is it made from pure gold and the eyes are diamonds?"
16."I gave up today when I found this empty KFC container for 89 cents."
17."The Golden Days of thrifting might be over. 😭 They're charging $30 for this stool that's practically falling apart."
18."An actual bag of trash for only $3.49."
And finally...
19.$200 for these boots where the bottom is literally falling off:
