Thrifty Tips on Buying Furniture

Thanks to Spend Less Save More for this guest Post

In an earlier post, I told you that summer is a great time to buy furniture. Before you go to a furniture showroom, here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Stop by your local Goodwill or Thrift store. Just the other day, I saw a beautiful like-new, 3-piece entertainment center. The price was high for me ($1400), but I bet it was more than twice that in the furniture store. If you’re having trouble decorating, you can hire the professionals from M-Style to help decorate any room in your home.
  • Check Craigslist. People move all the time which means they can’t always take their furniture. Browse Craiglist’s furniture section to see if you can find what you are looking for. This can save you up to 70%!
  • If you are looking something more personalized, custom furniture Melbourne can do it for you.
  • Even if you aren’t house browsing, you may want to walk through a couple of model homes. Many are fully furnished and when they sell that home, the furniture has to go somewhere.

  • Check smaller end stores that sell individual pieces of furniture like Big Lots, Marshalls and TJ Maxx. You might be surprised at what you will find from leather couches to bespoke doors.
  • Ikea. If you have an Ikea near you, check it out. You can get some really great deals on furniture and there is something for everyone!
  • If you must go to a big name furniture store, inquire to find out if they have a backroom with scratch & dent or clearanced pieces. Most do. They are usually returned furniture or pieces that were used as floor models. Check out Home Accents II – home entertainment furniture to see if they have some sales.
