YARD sales can be hit or miss, but one happy shopper hit the jackpot.
She couldn't believe her luck when she found a great kitchen item for just $20.
A new, similar model from the same manufacturer would cost over $220.
However, her surprising discovery left people distressed and described as “mad with jealousy”.
The happy shopper shared her thrift find on Reddit, along with photos of her bargain purchase.
“I just found this beauty at a yard sale for $20,” she said in the post.

It received a huge response from Redditors, with over 7,000 people viewing it and many comments.
Shoppers were thrilled to find a mint green SMEG two-slice toaster.
The classic and retro atmosphere that is synonymous with the brand attracts many fans.
You can install SMEG products throughout your kitchen, from refrigerators/freezers and cookers to small appliances, dishwashers and cookware.
However, it has also been the subject of some ridicule, most famously in the popular children's movie Toy Story series.
Eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed that the refrigerator in one of the movies is SMUG, not SMEG.
Nevertheless, its popularity remains and this Redditor was not put off.
“I debated this with myself and just couldn't ignore it,” she said in the post.
Many people who commented on her post congratulated her on the deal.
“Wow, I'm going crazy with jealousy,” one person said.
One reaction was “Jackpot.”
Others also gave her suggestions.
“Resell it for $100. Valuable brand,” one Redditor wrote.
“Did you make a deal with the devil? This is an incredibly lucky find,” mused another.
“I paid $220 for this last year. I love it. It's worth it. What a steal,” a third person responded.
But yard sale shoppers aren't the only ones snapping up their favorite kitchen golds. Some have achieved success.
One lucky woman says she hit a savings score of the century with things she found in her kitchen.
She spent just $4.21 and can't believe she found the coveted Le Creuset Dutch oven and a heart-shaped red cocotte sitting on their property. It was moderate.
Individual items from this brand can cost hundreds of dollars.
Commenters on her post said it was sheer “insane”.
