I use a combo option 1, 2 & 3. You’d be surprised at how many awesome things you can find on craigslist.

I definitely adopt strategies 1 and 2 when redecorating. I also love picking up inexpensive items at discount retailers like TJMaxx. I recently redecorated my guest bathroom and I took the savings a step further by purchasing a discount gift card. It saved me $20 right off the bat. I also agree that simplicity is key — I’m not one for clutter anyway but keeping things clean and simple is not only more affordable, it helps keep your sanity in check, too!

We try to accumulate stuff slowly as we find good deals. Right now, we’re using a free coffee table for example, but we also purchased a new couch when we moved into our new place.

we have tried to do lots of things ourselves on our new house. We collected a lot of wood from another piece of land and have made furniture, stairs, etc. thanks to a skilled worker. second hand is not big around here otherwise we would have gotten old furniture too, but the previous owner left many things that were a big saving.

Great suggestions!

Last year at this time we wanted to paint our basement and turn it into a nice work at home office for ourselves. I had heard of mistinted paint but had never bought it before. A regular gallon of paint tinted to any colour you like is around $40 here.

We went to Lowes and found a mistinted paint section and found a lovely gallon of paint in a light grey for $7. It was just enough to paint the whole room twice and we love it.

In reply to SenseofCents. @SenseofCents Wait what?!? 30% off the ENTIRE section?? I have seen sales on seasonal items but never off an entire section like that. Huge win!

In reply to FrugalRules. @FrugalRules Craigslist is good if you can go pick up something immediately. Seems like listings only stay up a day or two before the item has been picked up by someone else.
