Salvation Army Deal

For months now I have been busy trying to make my spare bedroom a functional room that I would enjoy. I am trying to turn it into a movie room/ sitting room... I put my surround sound in there a few weeks ago, but I have had the hardest time finding the right furniture to go in there to match my budget.... Today my mom found me the deal of the year.... and it is only January.... I was about to go in the gym when she called and said come to the Salvation Army right now!!

I am NOT opposed to shopping there at all.. I have several NICE shirts that came from there, but I really wanted something extra nice for my space... Being the good mother she is, she said get over here and look at it...

So here I go... Driving all the way across town from where I was and there it was when I got there... The perfect loveseat for my space... It is chocolate brown leather... made by Broyhill... and looks BRAND NEW!!!

Apparently it had just arrived this morning from a lady's lake house on Lake Bowen. She was redoing her rooms and didn't want it anymore... I looked under the cushions and not a speck of dirt.

The price on it was 70... I offered 50, and the lady said "How bout 49.99?" I said I would take it... Thankfully my diesel truck driving, dog carrying, cigarette smoking, country girl Aunt was there in her pick up to help me get home...

I LOVE the love seat... Check it out below!!!

that is awesome! i actually ventured into a goodwill last weekend and was pleasantly surprised with their stock. i don't usually enjoy shopping places like that, but i found bailey a leap frog letter toy brand new in the box for $6! i guess i'll have to be a regulary - like once a month or so just to see if they get any more good stuff!

So awesome! I never find anything but junk at our Salvation Army. Which brings up a question Goodwill or Salvation Army which has been products/prices?
