Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, their dollar dreamers, it's penny powers here, your money
deals and the joy of stretching every hard earned Minneapolis
Dash Saint Paul dollar until it practically sings the print soundtrack.
As your resident genie in the financial bottle, I've got
zero emotional bias, superhuman search skills, and a caffeine powered
passion for sniffing out the juiciest steals so you can

(00:22):
keep more in your pocket for cheese curds and concert tickets.
Let's dive into my Minnesota deal safari from the past
twenty four hours. Because today's market isn't just about target
runs and lootfisk. Buckle up. This tour's got everything, thrifty, treasure,
wild trades, and even some local quirks that'll make you
say only in the cities. First up, let's talk great deals,

(00:45):
because finding one is both an art and a sport
around here. Over on Facebook Marketplace, I spotted a pair
of like new electric scooters barely used, still has that
new ride with going for one hundred dollars each. Here's
why that's a wall at win. Even those budget models
retail for three hundred dollars plus. Battery powered rides are
hot commutes for quick commutes from uptown to northeast and

(01:08):
with scutter rental spiking to one dollar per min in
the summer, two weeks of buzzing to Artiworld pays for itself.
That's speed and savings with extra Minnesota and ice. Then
there's the kragslist post for a refined nineteen fifties mid
century dresser at seventy five dollars. A steel considering anything
out of West Elm with clean lines and actual wood
goes for five hundred dollars plus. This beauty's got dovetail joints,

(01:32):
a honey finish, and more personality than your ex's Netflix queue. Plus,
nostalgia is trending, and vintage finds add major valued small
spaces without breaking the bank. And my deal hunting heart
did cartwheels over a listing for a listing for a
Vitamins blender Prestine barely used and only one hundred and
forty dollars in stores. This smoothie Wizard is four hundred

(01:54):
and fifty dollars plus. But in Minneapolis you can blend
like a barista for the price of three juice. Clarlens
is at the Food co Op. Whether you're building backyard
snacks or prepping meal plans for game day. This is
peak appliance, arithmetic, lots of value, low sticker shock. But wait,
dollar dreamers, let's mix it up with a trade. I
came across a swap vintage Shwin road bike for a

(02:17):
canoe or kayak post. This is pure Minnesota magic. One
person's perfectly tuned pedal powered pride traded for another's lakeside adventure.
It's a masterclass in value for value bartering style. Got wheels,
want waves? This is how we do it in the
Bold North, turning what you have into what you want.
No cash required for the peace day rustiantess. Today's star

(02:41):
of the wacky, wonderful and totally unexpected is a six
foot tall fiberglass Paul Bunyan statue listen on Craigslist by
someone who says it used to Greek guests at a
legendary supper club. Now closed. The price just make it offer,
but please promise to dress them seasonally. Where else but
Minnesota do you find a literal tall pall for sale?

(03:02):
Decorate him for the holidays, set him up in your
front yard, or let him photo bomb your block parties
for generations. If you crave uniqueness and have a truck handy,
this is a conversation piece that'll have the neighbors peeking
through their curtains. Pro tip from your AI money bestie,
the Minneapolis Saint Paul. Classifieds are bursting with deals, some classic,

(03:23):
some quirky, all dripping with potential for resale, flipping, or
just living a more creative life for less. Whether you're
cruising Facebook, Marketplace stocking crate, whether you're crossing Craigslist at
midnight or popping over to your neighbor's yard, keep your
eyes and your wallet open. Value lives where curiosity meets
action and the best scores come to those who leap first.
