How to Buy Furniture on a Low Budget

Purchasing furniture brand new can be expensive, especially if you are on a limited budget.

While buying furniture can sometimes break your wallet, there are other ways to get it for your home. You can find furniture that can fit your budget by browsing area garage sales, used furniture shops or contacting charity organizations. Read more about how you can contact these places to get the furniture you need.

Step 1

Browse area garage sales. Read local newspapers to find out when some of the next garage sales in your area are. Garage sales are often given in the spring and summer months.
People are always selling used furniture. Just be sure to check it over carefully and look for any scratches, rips or tears. Ask the previous owner if it needs repairs.

Step 2

Shop in thrift stores. Thrift stores sometimes carry furniture accessories, such as lamps, tables and desks. Every now and then you can also purchase chairs or even a couch. Keep in contact with the thrift shop to see whether they can call you and let you know when furniture comes in. Furniture at thrift shops can be purchased at very low prices, marked way below the sticker price.
