This weekend I moved into my new place (YAAAAY! This is why I haven’t been posting much!) and since it’s my first home I needed a lot of furniture. As you know I LOVE bargains and sales. It’s important to me to get the most for my money.

Well, last weekend while shopping at IKEA I lucked up and found pieces that I wanted for less than half the price in their clearance/as is section! IKEA has a clearance/as is section usually located downstairs in the warehouse. The clearance/as is section consists of floor samples that they no longer need, slightly damaged, imperfect, discontinued or returned items that they sell “AS IS” for a cheaper price. Best thing about purchasing from the clearance/as is section is that it’s all put together! Can I get an AMEN!?!

RULE #1: When shopping at IKEA don’t hesitate to stop by their clearance/as is section. Who knows you may find what you are looking for much cheaper!

I found a wardrobe closet for $99.00

Matching dresser for $65.00

Here are some more pics from the move in day 🙂

RULE #2: Rent a UHAUL when moving bulky furniture. It makes life much easier!

My ♥ Dave came to help! He’s the best boyfriend in the whole wide world!

There’s still a lot more to get done but I’m happy the bulk of the furniture is moved in. THANK YOU to my family for helping me on my big day! I LOVE you!
