Furniture is one of the most expensive purchases for a home. If you’re on a tight budget, going furniture shopping can be discouraging. Everything seems to be pricey for the person starting out in life or simply not earning enough to afford a bed worth Ksh 50,000. Since you can’t control the prices at the stores, it’s necessary to know how to save money while shopping for furniture. Here are some tips.

  1. Look For Sales

One of the best ways to save money is during sales. If you identify something that you like but it’s out of your budget, you can wait till when the store has a sale. Make sure you follow their social media so as to get alerts on upcoming sales. Some stores may ask you for your contacts to keep you updated on a sale. You can also check in during major holidays such as Valentine’s, Easter, Christmas, and New Year’s to see if they have any sales or deals.

  1. Shop Online

Social media is full of furniture vendors who sell both second-hand and custom-made pieces. Not to mention, they’re reasonably priced. As such, you’re bound to get a good deal from there. For custom-made furniture, you can scroll through the vendor’s page so as to see whether they’re capable of making what you want. This also helps you verify that the vendor is legit as it’s easy to get conned online. If you can visit their physical location before committing. Technology: The Dos And Don’ts Of Online Shopping

  1. Evaluate Your Needs

It’s important to know exactly what you need so as to avoid buying unnecessary items. For instance, if you live in a small space, you might not need a 7-seater sofa set. Once you determine the furniture you need, you’ll buy only the necessary thus saving you money. Additionally, try to buy the essentials first such as sofas and beds, before any other furniture so as to know which other furniture to add. Here is How To Create A Budget And Different Budgeting Methods You Can Use

  1. Compare Prices

Prices fluctuate depending on the store or vendor. You can find prices differ by as much as 50%. Try to find one that offers the best deal so as to save some money. Make use of online resources to get a variety of vendors and compare their prices. Additionally, local furniture shops tend to be cheaper than online ones so don’t leave them out in your search.

  1. Learn To Negotiate

Luckily, we live in a country where you can negotiate for almost anything. When you go furniture shopping, put on our negotiating hat and haggle till you can’t. Most times, vendors will put up a significant markup in anticipation of negotiations. Therefore, if you buy furniture at the initial prices, chances are you’ve bought it at an excessively high price. If they can’t discount the furniture prices, at least negotiate on the delivery fees.

  1. Buy Multi-Purpose Furniture

You can buy furniture and use it for multiple purposes. For instance, instead of buying a pricey coffee table, you can find an ottoman that can double as extra seating and a footrest. This not only saves you money but also avoids clutter.
