Have you just bought your first home? In that case, your bank balance is
probably a little bit depleted. Of course, you still need furniture for your
home. More than likely you are wondering how to save money when buying
furniture.
First of all, make a list of what furniture you need. Keep the list with
you at all times and tick each item off when you have found the right piece of
furniture.

Great Places to Pick
Up Furniture
IKEA is not the only place you can pick up cheap furniture. Still, it is
a good idea to look out for special offers in your IKEA store. You can normally
find furniture offers advertised on the IKEA website. Offers change from week
to week, so check out the website on a regular basis. Don't forget to sign up
for the IKEA Family Card which will give you further discounts.
Carboot sales are great places for picking up cheap furniture. You may
not be able to find major pieces such as beds and kitchen tables. However, many
car boot dealers try to get rid of smaller pieces like bedside tables and
smaller bookcases.
Charity shops are an endless resource for many new homeowners. Many of
them do sell furniture and most of the time, the furniture is of good quality.
On top of that, you can find little knick-knacks to compliment your furniture
buys.
How to Save Money When
Buying Furniture Online
Saving money when buying furniture online is not difficult. Leading discounts sites like Groupon
and Wowcher often have offers on furniture. You may even be able to save money
when you buy furniture on eBay. Stick to your local area to avoid delivery
charges.
Shpock is a cool app which can be used to find stuff for sale locally.
You can find everything from sofas to kitchen chairs. Best of all, you deal
with the seller directly and transactions are easy to complete.
Finally, don't forget to set yourself a budget. It is easy to spend too
much money on one particular item, and you want to make sure you get value for
money as well as great furniture.
