One of my favorite ways to save money (and sometimes make a little) is CL.....Craig's List!!!! I love it!!!! I have found so many great deals and it is nice to be able to check something out before you pay for it (unlike ebay). So, my latest find is my new favorite thing!!! My bed!!! I have always wanted a really tall bed...you know....the ones you have to give a little hop to get into. Well, I have been looking for the perfect bed frame to fit a King size mattress...yeah...that ups the price!!! I saw a four poster bed on CL and they were asking $500. Still above my price range. I was about to settle for a cute but not so high quality bed from IKEA for $230. It was the cheapest King size I could find. I checked CL one more time and the bed was posted again at $375...still above my budget...but close enough that I thought I would ask if they would take $250 (my budget). They said $275 and I couldn't pass it up!!!! It was the perfect bed I had been looking for except for the color...so I hit the paint section at Wal-Mart and spray painted it. I put the bedding on that I bought at Target about a year ago (another great deal I will tell you about in the future) and Voila!!!! My dream bed...king size for $300!!!!! I think that is a steal!!!
So, with a little patience, imagination, and Internet surfing you can find some steals on the ol' CL!!!! Have fun!!!
(Sorry the pics aren't that great. I couldn't get back far enough to get the whole bed in the pic!)
P.S. Yes, I do have to "hop" into my bed!!!! I love it!!!
