    Smile I love Kijiji! I found a smoking deal:)

    I have been looking for a set of bar stools on Kijiji which is a website where people can sell there unwanted stuff, for our island for the last two weeks finally I found something I loved. I found 2 100% leather cranberry coloured bar stools with wooden legs that have a back and are super comfortable and just so happened to be the right height for our island.

    The owner who was selling them was asking for $150.00, so I offered her $110.00 she said that she was willing to accept my offer which is awesome because they are in excellent condition and are pretty much brand new. She told me last night where she had gotten them and had paid originally $198.00 per chair, I checked it out online and she indeed was telling the truth. I have never in my life until now actually botten used furniture before, so this is going to make a new step in the right direction for saving money lol. I from now on will keep my eyes open on Kijiji for any new furniture to me that I require for my home, I just wanted to tell you my story that why not save money while being able to live the high life by being frugal, and buying something used that someone else no longer needs or wants.

    I also love Kijiji,I check everyday for new listings.We had turned a spare room into a game room last year and was looking for something to put in a corner to sit and do crafts or where the grandkids could play games and have snacks on.I kept checking Kijiji and sure enough an add came up for a smaller table with 4 chairs.The table folds down on both sides so it can sit against the wall if we need to move it,its perfect and like new .The fellow was asking $75.00 and when I asked his bottom price he said well ,I have to get $50.00.I couldn't get the money out of my purse fast enough.
    Feels good to get a deal,eh?

    If you click on the link, this is exactly what they look like, however they are Cranberry and not Carmel. My camera is MIA currently.
