Marshall’s Home Goods offers some bargains, but you really need to look hard. I think Target and Walmart both offer great values, too. knowitall
Ikea, second hand stores, Walmart, consignment shops, furniture discount stores in your area, ask friends or family members if they are getting rid of anything, flea markets, classifieds, ebay… there are tons of places, you just have to look. It’s me again…
I would go talk to land lords and different apartments. My husband runs a complex and you wouldnt believe the stuff people leave behind. There was a gay couple that got rid of a really nice couch because they got a new one. It looked brand new. Nikki D
well depends where you are, the area , and your budget. look around town and do a shopping hunt. good luck Queenstar I
My best guess would be IKEA or Target. Both have really cool stuff. yrovi
‘Ikea’ has great stuff!
You can shop in-store or on-line. smart blonde
Thrift shops, like Goodwill, and the Salvation Army, are great sources for cheap household stuff (and quite often really cool, unique stuff!). Target, IKEA, Kmart, Walmart… if you want cheap but new! Good luck! Elizabeth R
Overstock.com has some great bargains. Pay attention though and buy a brand that you know and read customer reviews - in addition to the good stuff, they have some real trash sold through this site.
For furniture go used - Even good furniture used sells for about 80% off of retail. Be patient, stick to solid brands like Ethan Allen, Henredon, Baker, Stickley and you will do well.
For kitchen wares - hit you local goodwill/salvation army store. You may even be able to find window treatments here at amazing bargains. smartnsavysue
For interesting pieces I check out consignment shops. For bedding I like Marshall’s, T.J Maxx or Homegoods, they’re all owned by the same corp. so have similiar stuff. Ikea is always good if you like modern they also carry bedding. Most important, have fun with decorating and be adventurous. Take old pieces and paint them fun colors. Let your apt. be a reflection of your personality. kayraytay
