Guest guest Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Hi Guys, I love thrift stores, garage sales, you name it. And I love " Freecycle " where people give away things free on the net, and ask for things. I got a lovely dining set for free, a set of matching sofas, and a 4 drawer filing cabinet!

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Wow you two have done well to find so many things that you enjoy for your homes. Another good place to find some good buys are at the warehouses for these furniture rental stores. After a piece of furniture has been rented, they sell it for a song. Many years ago, we bought a nice basset kitchen table for $75 dollars. It was a steal! It has lasted for 23 years and still in great shape. It looked new when we got it from them, but sometimes they change their styles and so they want to get rid of things in order to bring in new things. You don't get these good deals at their stores, but at their warehouses only. Most large cities have the warehouses. Judy - Hi Guys, I love thrift stores, garage sales, you name it.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I have found in this area that lots of folks get new furniture for Christmas or the holidays. And guess where their old (good) stuff goes? Yup! To the SAFE store near me. And I think, but not know for sure, that people buy new furnished mobile homes and then bring in their own stuff. I have seen brand new chairs and sofas. Would my husband love that. Not to get sutff, but to get ride of it. But, if he touches my cow collection.....he is doomed.
