Craigslist is an amazing resource for a DIY bride!! I found a gal from the neighboring town that had purchased almost everything and wanted to sell it. I went to her house yesterday with the expectation to buy 400 ft of lights. I left with the lights, 15 white table cloths, 300 sets of silverware, salad bowls, baskets with salt & pepper and oil & vinegar containers, and seving utensils.
When I saw the post I wondered why on Earth would you BUY table cloths and silverware. Well, when you can buy them for 1/2 the rental cost and turn around and sell them again to break even, you BUY them.
I spent $550 dollars on these items that are worth $998, and $300 of that is rental money I would have never seen again. Aeven though I was too excited followed by being exhausted and wanting to go home, and counted the salad bowls twice overpaying by $80 dollars..... I am still satisfied with the purchase.
DIY'ers, I highly reccomend checking out Craigslist. Now I am on the lookout for brown table cloths and green napkins. Craigslist here I come.
