I just wanted to point out something you probably know already – the great finds you can score at Craigslist<\/b><\/a>. If you’re in the U.S. – and a lot of cities worldwide – there’s a local craigslist, or close to “local”. And if you’re shopping for goodies for your house – you really ought to check it out before you go and pay Retail!<\/p>\n

For instance – here are a few goodies I found today in my local CL. If I were Seriously Shopping, and not just looking around, I would call the owner to check any of these out! <\/p>\n

\"Table\"Table
\nThey’re asking $75 for the table and five chairs. $75! And that bench has lovely bones, I think. They’re asking a whopping $20.<\/p>\n

\"Patio \"Patio <\/center>
\nThe patio set? The owners mentioned the chairs need new cushions (or covers) and maybe a coat of paint too. But hey, they’re asking $50 for all the pieces shown. And the sofa? It might not look as good in person, or it could be all smoky-smelling, or torn up and down the back. But it might be as good as it looks. And doesn’t it look good<\/i>? They’re asking $150. Might take less \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

Yes you have to inspect your purchase carefully, and not be afraid to say “Sorry, don’t want it.” But sometimes you really will want it – and you might get a great<\/b> deal!<\/p>\n

PS You are also Going Green – you’re reusing and recycling, and maybe rethinking too \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
