stores,” senior Autumn De
poe said. She said she goes to
yard sales in order to save
money and to get deals on
unique items.
Nathan Dunn agreed.
“I got a huge whiteboard
for, like, $10,” Dunn said.
Students can find listings of
yard sales in local newspa
pers. Unlike shopping at regu
lar stores, people can usually
bargain at these sales, and
items likely will be in an af
fordable price range.
Thrift stores are another op
tion. Because all of the items
are donated, prices are much
cheaper than in furniture gal
leries. Students can find couch
es ranging in price from $30 to
$60, twin-size beds starting at
$30 and dining tables starting
r
at $20, with a$l surcharge per
dining chair.
“Buy from Goodwill—they
will save you money,” said
freshman Tyson Lancaster,
who bought furniture with his
roommate. “That’s why I
bought my couch from there
—only #20.”
Dunn said he also goes to
stores like Goodwill for items
such as chairs and tables.
Students can also find good
deals at Salvation Army
stores. The stores’ employees,
who also receive donations,
usually do not accept items
that need a lot of repair or are
in horrible shape. When they
do receive items that need a
little fixing, they will repair
minor scratches, replace
missing nuts and bolts and
polish up the wood.
Salvation Army employee
Kelly Bassett said the store
gives student discounts.
“We’re cheap, and we’ll save
you a lot of money.” She added
that the store has a tag sale
every day, and stock is rotated
and merchandise added twice
a week. A couch may run from
#60, new twin beds at #79, and
dining sets start at #60.
Several St. Vincent DePaul
outlets in Eugene also sell
used furniture.
St. Vincent DePaul Assis
tant Manager Ruben Trejo
said students go to the store
for the discounts and reason
able prices.
“If they have a low budget,
we sell low-budget stuff,” he
said. The thrift stores not
only sell furniture but other
household items such as
lamps, pots and pans, crock
ery and cutlery.
