Finding Free or Inexpensive Furniture?

I am a single parent on disability with two kids. I need help with beds and livingroom furniture. I can not walk; how do I get help?

If you are on disability I bet you are on food stamps and maybe even housing assistance. Which means you should have a small amount of cash to go to thrift stores and yard sales looking for cheap furniture. Also if your disability is physical, you would have a hard time moving the items because most of the places that sell cheap furniture and give it away expect the person receiving it to transport it themselves.

Go to the office of your nearest Salvation Army and tell them what you need and they will give you a voucher to take to their Thrift Store and if they have the items on the list they will give them to you, but be prepared to transport and unload it when you get home.

Most places also won't let you pick from the best, they save that to sell, but even then you have to transport it. There is also Craigslist and freecycle.org.

Also talk to your pastor, they might know of some people that have things they want to get rid of. As far as beds go, you can use inexpensive air mattresses. I have two adult grandchildren that are doing that, and one grandaughter who uses a futon at night and in the daytime it is a couch. In the living room you can get buy with your kitchen chairs. For tables in the living room you can use those storage totes, and then you have tables and storage.
