Thanks for the tip. When people are doing repairs or updating the design of the bathroom, they sometimes throw things of decent quality. You can use them in your house, and the price will be much lower.

[...] Go secondhand: Nothing can beat a dishwasher, stove, sink, pot rack, pantry door, and four cabinet units used for $435. Just ask Frugal Babe about that deal. [...]

what out for untreated mulch, it could add to your worries. Carpenter ants, termites etc. might be more problems and could cost you much more in the long run. Mulch that you get at your local nurseries is treated. Shreded tires or stones would work better if you want to save money stones are cheaper.

I once got a lot of half cans of paint from a friend, mostly mauve and blue. I wanted lavender, and was going to go buy some until my friend pointed out that mauve, blue, and white would make lavender. So I painted my whole bedroom for $-0-. I love freecycle as well. Usually someone has what you want. I’m currently looking for free shreds from a tree trimming company to use as mulch around my hedgerow.

Every city should have a Habitat for Humanity home store! The bargains you can find are unbelieveable! Why this concept hasn’t caught on in more cities is beyond me. It a win/win for everyone- the charity, homeowners, and the
contracters and construction companies that make the donations.

Your kitchen redo is terrific. Friends bought an entire set of unused
kitchen cabinets for 1/3 the retail price – a local cabinet outlet was changing out all displays. They then found 2 year old appliances on Craigs list for 1/2 original cost – from a couple upgrading their kitchen. The good deals are out there – you just have to know where and when to look and know that new is not always the best way to go – no matter what the TV shows & advertisers would make us beleive.
