I needed a humidifier for my garage and found one for $20.00. I found two new vacuum cleaners to replace my old one for about $12.00 each. I have gotten great deals on tables, pictures for the wall and I have used some pictures to put on stands for tables, shelves and even on the floor. I have gotten several very beautiful an unusual picture frames, crystal, Lenox, some of which I kept, some I sold, and all sorts of “bric-a-brac, pots, dishes, electric appliances and even a small Singer sewing machine, a fax machine, air purifier, new phones, electric chopper and slicer, and so much more. Most of these things were new in the box.
I started buying for my house when I needed some items for outside, front and back patios and decks. Since they constantly get destroyed by the weather, I didn’t want to spend a lot of money. I got lucky right away and found several wicker chairs, some tables, a wooden bench, a flower pot stand and numerous amounts of very unusual flower pots of all sizes. I even picked up some holiday items to display. I bought a couple of large artificial flower arrangements to put out in the fall when the real plants stop flowering. I found a beautiful Victorian looking three wheel bike made of wood. It was decorated in satin and lace, so I ripped all the fluff off and put a flower pot on the seat making it into an unusual planter. When I told the lady who was selling them what I was going to do, she immediately took back the other two she had to use for herself as planters. Because it was made of wood I used wood sealer and stain to protect it. Since I was having such good luck finding things for outside I decided to see what I could find for inside the house. This is how you can really save money.
