See if your town has anything like that, you can actually find some REALLY nice stuff. All they usually need is just a little bit of cleaning

Just don't pick up any mattresses or cushions. Those are sketchy

Oh yeah, I remember that!

So I got the 2009 Ikea catalogue in the mail yesterday
And although they have some amazing furniture and ideas...free/cheap furniture sounds amazing.
Lorend looks like you got a really good deal with your furniture.
I'm gonna be looking in my local newspaper for yard sales this weekend.
