We moved into a 3-bedroom duplex and furnished it almost entirely from Facebook Marketplace and thrift shops
We furnished our new home almost entirely with pre-loved items. Using Facebook Marketplace and visiting thrift stores saved us time and money.
My family of five recently moved into a three-bedroom duplex on the Gold Coast, Australia. The family had been living in their parents' house since January after an interstate move from Victoria. They initially expected to spend $8,000 to $16,000 AUD on furniture, but decided to purchase almost everything secondhand instead. The author found buying secondhand items to be a cost-effective and less time-consuming way to furnish their new home.
They saved thousands of dollars by buying secondhand, and it also added personality to their home. The family enjoyed the thrill of the hunt and the satisfaction of giving perfectly good furniture a second life.
