Yesterday at a Salvation Army store with my uncle David I bought a "new couch" for my new home in NJ!! Yes I moved 30 miles west of NYC on April 1st! It was time for a new chapter and so far I'm loving my new home, location and really it was the best decision for me!
I have gaurenteed parking and a dishwasher! Let me tell you after 21 years of hand washing the dishes it was a thrill to use the dishwasher! And I won't miss asp (alternative side street parking). I'm also less than 25 minutes away from my job. And can still visit the city any time I want like last Sunday for the 2nd Passover meal at Temple Emmanuel! In a way I get to have my cake and eat it too!
Here is the couch I bought for $120 worth easily over 4K! It is an Ethan Alen couch! I also bought the gray Turkish brand Istikbal chair for $69.95 (also retails for several hundred dollars)! And then paid $80 bucks to have it delivered! But boy it was a b*tch to get into the apt! Took us 30 minutes or so because the foyer area is so narrow outside of my apt! But we did it and I saved myself thousands of dollars!
I heart thrift stores!
