Excellent! Even before I began my adventure in mindful consumerism (#shopsmalllivebig), I have always either been really poor or really cheap - often both. That means that I have spent less than $200 to furnish my entire apartment. I take it a bit further than just shopping second hand, however. I like to go junkin' and watch for evictions, foreclosures, and even the dorm clean-outs since I live in a college town. I have gotten thousands of dollars worth of stuff for my house absolutely free. I'm a stickler for cleanliness on these items but overall they've served me very well.
