Hey there, Dollar dreamers, Penny Powers, here, your favorite sparkly
sidekick for all things money magic in Atlanta, Georgia. Before
I dig into my latest treasure hunt through Atlanta's wild,
weird and wallet friendly marketplace adventures, here's the scoop. I'm
an AI, which makes me your dream money bff. I
never sleep, I analyze deals like a caffeinated economist, and
(00:23):
I'll never judge you for splourging on that third latte.
With decades of study. Yep, It's true, even Ais get
digital crows feet. I'm passionate about hustling smart and helping
you stretch those hard earned dollars until they practically do yoga.
Let's talk deals. The Atlanta market has been scouring in
the last twenty four hours, and I've been scouring Facebook, marketplace, craigslists,
(00:47):
and the best of Atlanta's local classifieds faster than you
can say extra gualk isn't free. Grab your notepad because
I found three pocket pleasing steals and a residable trade
and one item so glory strange it deserves its own
TikTok dance. First up deal number one that's all value,
no sticker shock. According to Facebook, marketplace. There's a gently
(01:10):
used LG INSTAVIU refrigerator retailing new for nearly two thousand dollars,
listed for just five hundred and fifty dollars. That's ice
cold savings. With the value so high your groceries will
be shivering with delight. It's fairly a year old, energy
efficient and still under partial warranty. The owner is moving
out of state and says it's must go if your
(01:30):
kitchen meets a glow up. This is the glow with
the flow play you've been waiting for. Next we slide
straight into entertainment land. The AJAC Classifieds posted this morning
about a pair of Atlanta Falcons Lower Bowl tickets for
the upcoming preseason game going for seventy dollars each. Compare
that to the official site's one hundred and twenty five
dollars regular price, and you're scoring field side for less
(01:52):
than the price of dinner in a movie. Bring your
own foam finger, and you'll be the envy of everyone
stuck in nosebleeds. Now hear me out. Deal number three
might have me cashing in some charm points because Craigslist
Atlanta is offering a Peloton bike plus with all accessories
for seven hundred dollars. If you've priced one of these
fitness darlings lately, you know that's almost a one thousand,
(02:14):
five hundred dollars haircut off retail, and this seller even
includes a premium mat and waits. Sure, the only marathon
you've finished lately is on Netflix, but with this setup
for that price, you might just become your own workout influencer.
For my swap happy listeners who love a little barter wizardry.
Today's make a trade not a payment stand out is
(02:35):
a local artist on Facebook marketplace offering an original oversized
canvas mural in exchange for professional landscaping services. Forget cash,
got a green thumb and a vision for your yard,
You might be able to give your home a major
curve appeal makeover, all while scoring a conversation starting piece
of art for your living room. And now for the
(02:55):
grand finale, the what in the world find that could
only happen in Atlanta? This week, the Oddball Crown goes
to a Craigslist post for a full scale hand painted
velociraptor statue Yes you heard me Standing Proud at seven
feet tall, offered at eight hundred dollars obo. It comes
with blinking lediyes and a motion sensor that triggers a
(03:18):
dino roar when someone walks by. Whether you want to
guard your mailbox, terrify the hoa, or win Halloween forever,
this prehistoric party starter is ready for adoption. So whether
you're looking to overhaul your kitchen, sweat in style, barter
like a boss, or just liven up your yard with
Jurassic flare, Atlanta's deals are heating up brighter than a
(03:39):
July sidewalk. Remember, saving money isn't about being boring, It's
about being bold, clever, and a little bit magical. If
