Dumpster diving and thrifting are often looked down upon, but many people don't realize how amazing it is to not even spend a dime on what can be considered treasures. Have you ever found a 14k gold band ring in the trashcan? Or spend less than $100 on a classy dress for a black-tie party?
We absolutely love how you don't need to break a bone for these treasures. The rocking chairs that still look amazing, the healthy and old Monstera plant, and even the designer chairs! Scroll on and tell us which one is your favorite haul!
