The Creative Way I Thrifted Practically Everything I Needed for My New House (and Only Spent $55!)
Briefly

I came into this lease with a few pieces of furniture and decor from previous years, including two lamps for my room, a rug for the living room, an IKEA cart for storage, and art prints to decorate my walls.
In order to ensure we had everything we needed without overspending, we created a shared doc and compiled a list of everything we already had for the house and what we still needed to find.
My housemates and I have had lots of success scoring furniture for hardly any money - in fact, I haven't spent more than $60 on house items this year, thanks to some smart hacks and splitting some costs with my housemates!
It's a go-to for a reason: I had success finding a great desk with a storage cabinet and light wood finish here for only $30! Facebook will suggest an easy automatic message to send, but the trick to Marketplace is to type out your own message when reaching out to sellers.
