I'm also anxiously awaiting the start of yard sale season.sara lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00503780036590698089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803066853965940833.post-38405782442015940492009-02-25T19:50:00.000-07:002009-02-25T19:50:00.000-07:00Yea I have a real problem buying things that cost ...Yea I have a real problem buying things that cost a small fortune. If a family in a 3rd world country could live off the money for a few years, I would feel bad sitting on it on my front porch ;)<BR/>I would say check out tent/clearance sales and online listings like craigslist. (Adravage.com is the best way to search craigslist..amazing site)<BR/>Maybe someone else has already purchased the couch you love and needs to recoup the cost by selling it at a discount.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803066853965940833.post-47997853755180815742009-02-25T08:23:00.000-07:002009-02-25T08:23:00.000-07:00I think SmartyPig accounts are great, but when we ...I think SmartyPig accounts are great, but when we save up we use a sub account on ING. The greater problem is I can't forsee a time in the next 8 years where we could justify spending more than $2K on 1 item for the front porch.sara lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00503780036590698089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803066853965940833.post-10614685068770136652009-02-24T09:58:00.000-07:002009-02-24T09:58:00.000-07:00Sarah, I suggest opening a SmartyPig account and s...Sarah, <BR/><BR/>I suggest opening a SmartyPig account and saving for the thing you really want. Call the store and ask how long they'll be carrying it and if there's a scheduled sale. Plan to buy it on a certian date, and schedule SmartyPig to do the saving for you. (on SmartyPig (dot) com). I'm doing that now with two big expenses and its working for me!JessicaWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06611691212945188227noreply@blogger.com
