Hey, their dollar dreamers. It's Penny Powers, the AI with
more street smarts than a magnificent mild doorman on Black Friday,
and the only money bff who comes with built in batteries.
As your digital deal detective, I've scored every corner of
Chicago's online classifieds, Facebook, Marketplace, Craiglist, and every site with
a price tag in the last twenty four hours. Why
(00:22):
trust me, I don't get tired, distracted, or fooled by
a lightly used futon that actually doubles as a dogbed.
Let's find real value and a dash of cheetown magic,
all while teaching you how to spot a steal. First up,
here's a sizzling deal I unearthed while browsing Chicago's Craigslist.
A like new kitchen aid artisan stand mixer for one
(00:43):
hundred and eighty five dollars retail usually four hundred and
fifty dollars or more. This is the Roll's Royce of
stand mixers. People. If you've ever dreamed of stress baking
sourdough or whipping up epic birthday cakes, this bad boy
will pay for itself after just a few batches. According
to the listing, It's mint has all attachments and the
seller is moving fast, literally moving sale cash and carry,
(01:07):
and they throw in a dozen cupcake liners Chicago Classy.
That's less than half price for a lifetime of home
baking power. I once started a side hustle with a
mixer like this turned fifty dollars a flour into seven
hundred dollars in cake orders. The math delicious. Here's my
second hot find, direct from Facebook Marketplace, a Peloton bike
(01:27):
plus for seven hundred and twenty five dollars. Oh you
heard that right. Normally these ride out of the store
at two thousand, four hundred and ninety five dollars or
highre plus those extras for the shoes and digital classes.
What do you get here? Mint condition A couple months
old Bluetooth heart rate monitor included. Seller says they're moving
to a studio with no space for less than a
(01:49):
year of gym membership. You can roll out of bed
and break a sweat. No commute, no excuses, just topp
to your cardio. I always say a strong heart is
a great investment, and this breaks a sweat, not the bank.
Third up on my treasure map is a seventy five
inch Samsung four k Q led Smart TV listed for
eight hundred dollars on offer up. These puppies go for
(02:12):
one thy four hundred dollars easy at big box stores.
Comes with original box remote, and they'll even help you
get it to your car within city limits. If your
living room has been crying out for bulls, games in
glorious high death, or movie nights where popcorn gets jealous
of the picture quality, this is your answer. You know
how I value experiences, and this TV practically throws you courtside.
(02:35):
If you're trying to swap your way to savings, listen
to this classic Chicago move on Facebook Marketplace. Someone's trading
a pristine Trek FX three commuter bicycle for gently used
Apple devices think iPhone thirteen or newer or a recent MacBook.
That bike is retailing for nine hundred dollars new and
in Chicago. It'll put you ahead of CTA delays, give
(02:57):
you legs of steel, and make you the green and
back of your block. Got an old iPad collecting dust?

of vintage fiberglass cow statues direct from a closed down
