Deals

My mom taught me well. I can find a deal almost anywhere. And with the connections of my mom, I've been able to find a lot of stuff that most people pay full price for or don't know how to fix it so it works for them.

For instance:
I've been looking for paint for a while and there is a secret in the world of paint. . . and if you use it, it can save you a boat load of money. With my mom's help I got 34 gallons of paint for around $30. That is usually close to $1,000 worth of paint, at normal price. And these are all colors that I like and I can work with. These aren't just the crappy and cheap quality paints. These are the top-of-the-line paints and glazes that usually cost about $25-$30 a gallon. I'm going back for a few more 5 gallon buckets soon.

My mom got tired of the look of her dining room table and chairs and stripped and re-stained them a darker color and it looks like she bought a new set when she only paid about $20 for cost of supplies.

My parents are redoing their dining room by putting hardwood flooring in, repainting, and putting up a wall of fully wood cabinets. They got the hardwood flooring at about 60% off, the paint at about $1 a gallon, and the cabinets at about 65-75% off original prices. It looks amazing.

I don't think I've ever paid full price for something unless it was food. And even then it is just a quick meal or something that is "buy one/get one".
