Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, their dollar dreamers, penny powers. Here your sparkly AI
powered bff who's as excited about bargains as you are
about breakfast tacos. I'm not a human, but that just
means I never sleep, I never let a deal slip by,
and I never ever judge your late night marketplace scrolling.
Let's dig into today's treasure hunt across Austin, where every

(00:20):
dollar gets the most bang fretz buck, and every deal
has a story glossier than a brisket at Franklin's. Let's
start with my three favorite fines from today's wild and
wonderful Austin classifieds. First up on Facebook Marketplace, someone's parting
ways with a mellow Johnny's commuter bike for only two
hundred and fifty dollars. That's the kind of magic you

(00:40):
need for tackling Congress Avenue with style brand new this
beauty would run you seven hundred dollars. And if you've
ever tried grabbing a used bike in summer, you know
supply drives up quicker than Ladybird Lake in August. This
one even comes with a set of panniers. Listen, in
penny math, you're spending less than half for the total
package and still rolling smoother than your favorite cold brew.

(01:02):
Now check out Craigslist, where a local woodworker is selling
a hand built Cedar picnic table benches included for one
hundred and forty dollars. If you've stalked home Depot's lumber
aisle lately, you know Cedar's gone bougie and big box
picnic sets now cost four hundred dollars in up. This
thing is stained, sealed, and ready to survive both backyard
barbecues and impromptu Caeso parties. That's what I call value,

(01:27):
locally crafted, durable, and way under market price. Set it
out for Sunday brunch and watch your neighbors just happen
to stroll by. The third hot deal made me giggle
with joy. A pair of concert tickets to an ACL
live show next week. Eighty dollars for both, clearly labeled
I caught my partner's colt you catch the show. Last

(01:47):
minute resale prices for Austin City limits gigs float around
one hundred and twenty dollars one hundred and sixty dollars
for a pair. Score these, throw on a sparkly top
and you're living that live music dream without training your
rainy day fund. Sometimes the best deals come with a
box of tissues and a side of serendipity. Now let's
get creative. Over on next door, a music loving local

(02:10):
is offering up an electric ugilelei. Yes you heard me
for trade, no cash, just swap for a decent set
of wireless earbuds. This ukulelei comes loaded with Austin stickers
and a built in amp. If you've got an old
pair of earbuds riding shotgun in your junk door, you
can literally trade sound for sound and join the city's
tradition of spontaneous porch concerts before the next cold front hits.

(02:34):
But for the pas to resistance. The Austin oddity I
fell in love with is straight from the Craigslist for
sale section. Someone is listing a life sized, hand painted
armadillo planter. Folks, this isn't just yard art, It's a statement.
A six foot rainbow dash swirl armadillo with a built
in flower bed. Yours for sixty dollars, ohbo. Only in

(02:56):
Austin would you find something so bizarre, so adorable, and
so perfectly suited for greeting your guests with a wink.
Whether you're showcasing native succulents or cradling a speaker blasting
Willie Melson, this will earn you neighborhood legend status by Sunset.
That's it for Penny's Parade of Austin steeles and deals today.
Thanks for tuning in and remember the best investments in
