Could online bargain hunters have found the next affordable dupe?
Online marketplace mavens recently found a classy looking $149.99 mirror being sold at Costco that resembled a mirror selling for nearly $1,000 more at upscale chain Anthropologie.
Now, some observant shoppers have cast their attention toward a Mark Enzo Bookcase Cabinet, priced at $599 at Sam’s Club. The 74-inch tall black finished storage cabinet is a bargain, noted Instagrammmer @ohheysamsclub, a blogger who alerts followers to “hidden gems at these big box stores and sharing them,” she says on her ohheyfinds blog site.
“Other comparable bookcases are 4x or more this price and yet this doesn’t lack any of the quality. This item will ONLY be available in store, not online!!” she posted on Instagram.

Followers chimed in on their personal quests for the cabinet. “I just got one last week and worth every penny!!! I did remove one shelf though,” one post read.
“I want it so bad but my stores are always out of stock and so is online 😭😭” posted another follower.
