    Not sure where you are from,but try craiglist or is there any stores in your town going out of business? Sometime they will let you have stuff just to get rid of it.

    I tried craigslist and searching “mirror” “full mirror” and even “floor length mirror” bring up tons and tons and tons of ads for CARS! I would also love some advice

    I took the mirrors from my bathroom and put them in my pole room instead, then bought decorative mirrors for the bathrooms. I've heard Ikea has decent priced mirrors 🙂 Try places like TJ Maxx and Marshalls, you can get huge mirrors there at a good price 🙂

    Look at mirrored sliding doors for a closet.  Also, I think Home Depot has special pricing on a 3×4 mirror this weekend for $40.

    Try looking at a Re-store or a similar store. They have great deals.

    Do you have garage sales/yard sales or local council collections in your area? (anything where people put stuff they don’t want, out the front of their house? We have a council rubbish collection once or twice a year when people do this. Other people can help themselves to whatever’s there, before the council starts collecting. (I picked up a couple of mirrors this way – one of them was a bathroom mirror which the people didn’t need as they’d had their bathroom renovated. I know at least one person who furnished their whole house this way!

    I am constantly finding great mirrors for cheap at Goodwill. I got a 3×4 mirror for $2.99. I see bigger ones for about $12.99, and HUGE wall mirrors for $75.

    I got my two huge mirrored closet doors for free from Craigslist. I just propped them against the wall in my pole room 😉 easy to move too because of the little wheels at the bottom.

    Home Goods has really large, attractive mirrors for reasonable prices.

    Salvage yards! The one I go to in San Francisco, Building Resouces, always has a ton of mirrors. I got a huge one (probably 6 x 6) for $20. Call some in your area and ask if they have any before you go.

    Home Depot has a decent sized one super cheap (it's a basic wall mount type for a bathroom or such) so check out their website/store.  I found two huge mirrors on craigslist for next to nothing, one is 6×5 and the other 4×5.  They were ones ppl took out when remodeling their bathroom.  Good luck!

    I bought a 6ftx7ft (maybe bigger) online for $300. They ship it and put it up for you. I can’t remember the name of the company but I can try to find out. I’m actually having to get rid of it bc we are turning the room into a nursery.

    @TNBrunette007- Congratulations on becoming  a mom! It is definitely a joy! Re: the 6' x 7' mirror that you have. Are you looking to sell it? If so, how much would you like for it?

    @https://www.studioveena.com/users/view/50b4131a-8478-4b9d-9ade-75df0ac37250 I'm selling it for 200 (not including shipping). Where do you live? It's not a 6' x 7', it's a 6' x 8' 4" so 72" x 100." I def. agree that being a mom is a joy, I have a 2 1/2 yr old little boy and he is a hand full but a lot of fun. @QueenJewell- Thank you.

    You might also consider contacting Habitat for Humanity. Sometimes they have locations that ppl donate their old cabinets, countertops, mirrors, etc. Then the general public can go through and purchase. Plus, the money you spend goes to a great cause!

    Search Craigslist under "Free" items.  They never have cars listed in that section 😉 And people give away mirrors way more often than I would have imagined.

    Several people already said Craigslist, but I'll voice my support.  The first or second time I went on Craigslist looking, I found a 3' x 7' mirror for $45. It took some creativity to get it home, but I'm so happy to have it. 🙂
