How I supplied my apartment in Las Vegas with less than $ 200
When my sister, an ambitious dancer, asked me to move from North Carolina to Las Vegas with her, I did not hesitate. “Hell yes!” I said enthusiastically.
Then, reality.
It took completely afternoon to realize that moving companies and shipping fees would cost thousands of dollars – thousands we had.
Our best choice was to leave our materials behind us, except for what we could fit in the joint Toyota Camry for the year 2012, and embrace what Las Vegas offers.
We could not wait to start.
Fast a few months forward, and I am sitting in our new apartment, which we have fully presented with less than $ 200-a small part of what would have cost him to withdraw everything from North Carolina. We designed it even with the theme of Cottagecore that I love.
There is no great secret to how we did it. We mainly dismantled everything. However, I went to the front and waited for special offers, got different sites to get the best deals, and I was not above diving in the garbage.
How did we use the savings store deals to store at a cheap price
We call it a coincidence or divine intervention, but Airbnb has temporarily rented us so that we can find a full -time apartment in its location in a comfortable place near the Las Vegas icon: savings village opportunities store.
We have seen it on the first day we got to Vigas, and it became our first official station after securing our apartment. It happened on Monday, when the store had specially dedicated elements for $ 0.99.
We bought packages of hangers, bed panels, living and pillows, all of which are $ 0.99 each. Our kitchen has completely filled with glasses, thorns, knives, panels, utensils and pans, also $ 0.99 each. Within a few hours, we had a fully equipped kitchen for less than $ 25.
My favorite deal is a collection of beautiful strawberry pots. We cook in it almost every day.

Besides the Thrift Store Village store, goodwill also has a network of stores across Las Vegas. They have deals such as 50 % discount on specially tagged items every day of the week.
We combed each good -intention site, and the cheap furniture that can suit our car. We have rewarded one of our flights with a television situation of $ 5 and $ 8 chairs. (We brought the TV with us from North Carolina.)

We have found more deals on Facebook Marketplace
Unlike Thrifting, which relies heavily on luck, I looked for exactly what I wanted on Facebook Marketplace and it was filtered according to the price and today.
Early, I realized that the liquidation of publications was the day it was the strategy. Facebook Market is all about being the first. Sometimes, I got a message an hour after they were published, just to claim the element.
Regardless of deals, an additional group I discovered about Marketplace in Facebook is that it pushed me into pockets from Vegas off the defeated path.
I found a 5 -dollar rotating office chair (necessary to work from a distance) in one of the high -end neighborhoods of Samlin, which needed the gate symbol, which I got from the seller. She was an elderly woman looking to reduce her size, and I was not to meet her or a glimpse of this part of Vigas, otherwise.
Fischer’s rotating office chair was found for $ 5.

I also traveled north to capture a foldable office of $ 10 and monitor many restaurants that must be tried, such as the famous Korean restaurant, Komex. My sister, and we reviewed it later after we settled.
We have found our ranks on Facebook Marketplay as well. Each of them paid approximately $ 25 for Queen, as well as $ 10 for delivery, as we were unable to put it in our car. Although he was the most expensive user element we bought, he was still theft.
One of the $ 25 used ranks bought Fisher.

Some of my favorite discoveries are the sidewalk jewels
While strawberry utensils and bar stools are great, many of my favorite elements were free. While exploring the new neighborhood, I quickly discovered diving paths in the garbage.
In my daily paths, I turn into a harsh side of the sidewalk, and visit the piston in nearby neighborhoods whenever I can.
One jewel I found it was a beautiful suede chair in perfect condition for my sister’s office.

I have also discovered mirrors – one with decorative wire art and a permanent mirror with a little paint damage.

The introduction of my new life in Vigas was not just an exercise in the smart budget; He taught me that building a new life takes patience and an open mind.
Just as it took time to find the right pieces for the right price, it also took time to discover my cafe, find favorite restaurants, and make new friendships. But I will not exchange any of the users, or the stories that came with them.
