My husband and I purchased refurbished computers. Garage sales, estate sales, and moving sales are all great places to look for used furniture. My son has already learned that he can get more bang for his book dollar if he buys used. They can be found in a number of places, from online book swaps to eBay to Amazon.

Books, trendy clothes, dorm stuff, maybe a car, a computer and more are all on the hunt list. Some get stuff from stores, the less financially favored head for thrift stores, garage sales, Mom’s house or the trash pickup routes. We struggle to get more stuff – without money it can be difficult.
