Whether you’re looking for a couple of pieces to update your living room, kitchen, or bedroom or you want to outfit your backyard with an outdoor lounge area, shopping for furniture can get pricey.
However, if you time your purchases just right, you could save hundreds of dollars on new pieces. For example: outdoor furniture goes on clearance at the end of the summer. You could pay half (or less) of what the price was just months ago.
Memorial Day and Labor Day sales also discount furniture. Pay attention to the sales flyers for local furniture stores, as well as online, and compare prices.
You might also shop used; you can find quality furniture at a fraction of the price of new, and sometimes the older stuff lasts longer! Explore thrift stores, garage sales, Craigslist, NextDoor, and Facebook Marketplace.
