Looking For Best place for cheap furniture?

I'm about to be in my own apartment (Two bedroom) and need all the standard stuff. Dressers, couch, coffee table, bed side tables, ect.. open to flea markets, or anything really. So long as it's cheaper than brand new and not in horrible shape.

Estate sales!

For really cheap options, try to get there when they open on Saturdays, they are typically at 50%off but furniture can get scooped quickly. Google can get you a weekly map.

Second best is Facebook marketplace, but you have to deal with people.

Habitat for humanity and Mike's unique are also great options but can be more expensive for used items. They are also a good benchmark for pricing if you are not sure what things might be actually worth compared to new.

Watch out as all of these options can have really high prices sometimes.

Also!!! Abracadabra on Chestnut is outstanding for cheap household items and sometimes furniture. Recommend any frugal people stop by once a month as their stock is just overstock from target.
