Yessir, end of July im packing my bags and moving 10 blocks to the other side of the neighbourhood with my g/f and 2 friends. My g/f bought the 4 bedroom place and we're paying her rent.....should be interesting to say the least.

Anyone have any tips on where to buy furniture like coffee tables, end tables, lamps, tv stand and a kitchen table and chairs..... please dont suggest places that sell $5000 couches we dont need over priced crap your scared to sit on.

Try places like Nationwide warehouse, Fair Deal Furniture....anyone that sells discounted new furniture, like the pull-out ads that always seem to come with the Calgary Sun. That's a good start.

man ive been on those Calgary Sun pull out adds like a fat kid on a cake [img]tongue.gif[/img]

we put aside 5000 dollers for a couch and love seat.. ended up spend ing about 3200 for love seat couch and chair> go to ????? its a big yellow well known sign? leons or somthing. there a beautiful set... the couch is only 800 dollers and it comes with a 5 year warrenty on springs + lifetime on frame.

the fabric is hard to discribe, its kind of a cloth but buttery soft and its a pillow top cusion... you sink into it but then theres a stiffer cousin lower to keep you from sinking to low.


I just love my couch and movies [img]graemlins/@bow.gif[/img]

I'm going apartment hunting myself here soon, I refuse to live with anyone though, and when I go, I'm taking all my parents old furniture with me so I'm set, got a t.v got couch chair, coffee table, end tables, stereo/stand [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Just need to buy a computer for myself when I get out I suppose.

SEARS! Especially if there are any sears outlet stores near you.

You would be surprised what kind of deals you can find at places like Goodwill and Salvation Army stores. A good friend of mine, (middle class family man) scored a very nice sofa and loveseat set for a cool $75 at a local Salvation Army store. Also, if you have a spare Saturday morning, you may want to consider a trip to the local garage sales. If you want to go new, I also suggest Sears, they often have great sales and their service/warranty can't be beat.

i would go to second hand stores and pawn shops. can get good stuff there. also garbage sales :D . some things jsut are not garbage ~!

Fair deal just by sunridge is good and they have nice stuff too. thats where i got alot of my stuff.

At least you get to move in the summer. we just bought a house too but we can't move in till early next year after its built. [img]graemlins/puke.gif[/img]

Garage sales
my friend got a lazy boy a 3 seater couch for $75 at one and coffe table and end tablees for $40 at another.
Get cheao **** for now until you know what you want
