Thanks, I'm especially happy that I finally managed to finish my move. There wasn't a corner without a chore and now it keeps surprising me how much space there is!
And here I am with half of my stuff still in totes after half a year of living in my current place ๐ ~~In my defense proper furniture costs money and I'm stuck paying for electrolysis until August~~
Don't you have any second hand stores where you are? If you're poor they sometimes even give discounts.
And on a lot of websites you can get stuff for free as long as you go and pick it up. And you can always shoot them a message to ask for it for free.
Trouble is I live in the middle of nowhere so it's rare for me to find local listings for stuff. I do have a thrift store conveniently located right next to me, but they seldom have furniture. :(
Granted, they do still have furniture on occasion, I just need to do a better job of looking for it!
You can actually tell them about your situation and they can keep an eye out for you, and maybe even reserve something and call you. These places are there to support people and are happy to help.
That... might actually be smart. I really can also just do a better job of checking, since I only have to walk like 30 second to see inside the garage area where people drop stuff off.
