I picked up my dinning room set at a local hospice thrift store. Grandma goes into hospice, and after she passes, the family donates her furniture to the hospice.
Used cars, don't be in a hurry, be somewhat flexible on vehicle type and brand (even notorious lemon cars, yours could be repaired and OK), buy when lightning strikes and the deal is good, estate sales, turnover company cars, retirement home ex-drives. Plus, car brands are emotional and some can be shunned by buyers for no reason other than brand image, and those carmakers prop up their sales with better price, warranty, etc. I buy open-box, refurb or last year's model electronics, the big technology evolutions have mostly slowed, pick up flagship X1 Carbon laptops for Chromebook prices, pick up good 4K UHD TV's for the sales tax on a brand new one. Amazon is good about this, even warranted ... plus, travel. Scout out airline tickets by getting VPN and change your country IP for the best price, travel varies widely by country.
Which of these important purchases have you optimized and which have you ignored? 🤩

Wow, thousands saved? That's practically a new car! Just don't forget to budget for all those new used items!
