We FINALLY moved back into our house (been renting it for 8 years) last week. Despite the fact that someone broke into our house and stole two of our three TV’s prior to our arrival, purchase #1 was pool furniture. (Priorities!)
When we first purchased the house I had a great setup and didn’t realize how great of a deal I had found on it.
Those purchases were at Ollie’s. (Gazebo was $150, lounge chairs for $25 ea. Regular chairs were $20 ea. Already had a swing from Walmart that was $75 and a golfing sling eating set for $100.)
I’d been eyeing sales and couldn’t come anywhere close to those prices.
Big Lots wound up having what I wanted -
For reference, the $109 and $125 gazebos were trash. Even tied down either would have made its way into the pool within a month. Went with the $300 gazebo - it has the double roof, privacy panels, mosquito netting, and its 10x12. Pretty sturdy.
Sling Lounge chairs (4) were $45 ea, regular sling chairs (6) for $20 ea and a rectangular table for $65.
We miss not having the swing, but that’s a ‘first world problem.’
Picked up a 4-burner gas grill with side burner yesterday by Charbroil $150 and a decent waterproof cover from Target for $25.
As luck would have it, our A/C bit the dust today! (Two quotes we have are $5k abd $6k.) So I suppose we’ll be spending a LOT of time sitting on said furniture and cooking on the grill (oven cooking heats house up)! If I can just get the pool water right . . .
I noticed at a Target yesterday their outdoor section was extremely picked over. Near Everything was 30% off. They still had some nice looking sling chairs in a medium blue and a nice grey that weren’t on clearance yet. They were $20. They had one sling lounge left for $43 that looked super nice. May want to make a run there if you’re looking for something.
