I just spent $2233.76 at one store. |
|
I just bought a new house and I've been living with my parents for the past couple of years. Everything that I had before when I lived out on my own was basically junk so I either trashed it or gave it away. That means I had to buy damn near everything for my new house.
It hurts to drop that kind of money, but I think I got a really good deal. It could have been a lot worse. For $2233.76 I got:
A new couch. A coffee table and end tables- the display models. A new recliner. A new entertainment center. A new box springs and mattress. A new night stand. A new dresser. A new computer desk.
And they are delivering everything for $70.00.
Granted it's not top of the line stuff. Hell, my parents spent $2500 just on a living room set. But it's just going to be me living there so I didn't really need to buy that high dollar stuff. It should last me a long time.

The saleswoman saved me $400 by getting me a deal on the couch. They no longer had the one that I wanted in the store and when I asked her about it she checked and found out that they still had the one I wanted in stock.
It's one of those discount furniture stores. It's called Value City. I don't know if you have them in your area. Unless I start making twice the amount of money I'm making now or I hit the lottery or something, I will go back to them for my furniture needs.

3. We bought bedroom stuff there... |
|
and I was a little apprehensive about going there because their regular stores are a little cheesy - at least around here. But my wife wanted to go to Value City Furniture - they are separate stores here, don't know if that's always the case. I was pleasantly surprised to see what we could get, and bought more than we had planned because the prices were good.

5. I went with the credit card |
|
I've got enough cash to cover it, but I'm trying to keep as much in reserve as possible for emergencies. The credit card interest rate isn't bad- 11%- and I plan on having it paid off by the end of the year.
