You know how holiday decorations go on sale right after the holiday?

Same with seasonal items like patio furniture.

Best to buy it at the end of the outdoor season, which varies depending on where you live.

Also, moving sales—Many people relocate at the end of the school year and cut back on moving costs by selling lots of nice things at bargain prices.

If you haven’t, check to see if your community has a "Freecycle" Yahoo group.

These are places where folks give away items to other folks who want them…you’d be amazed…

We’ve bought many items from an online company with $2.95 shipping no matter the size or weight of the item.

Recently bought a wonderful couch for around $500. that retailed for $1,500 and it was delivered in less than two weeks for under $3.00 shipping.

Google in Overstock to find the best kept secret in shopping…

Hope it’s not unlawful to tell you this here?

We certainly don’t work for the company and they haven’t gone public with stock options yet~.

Remember to have a great summer no matter what’s on the patio.

After all, you’ll be the best reason to be there anyway, right? You betcha!
