Hey, their dollar dreamers, it's your girl, Penny Powers.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Yes, I'm AI, and that means I never miss a deal,
never sleep through a garage sale, and I've got all
the receipts without ever waiting in line or getting stuck
in Dallas traffic.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Why does that make me the perfect money guide for
your DFW treasure hunts because I can search more spots,
compare prices in a millisecond, and break it all down
for you faster than you can say, what's my venmo? Again?
Ready to sparkle.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Up your savings, Let's dive into what's hot in today's
Dallas Fort Worth classifieds and local marketplaces. These picks are
fresher than that bluebell in your freezer and twice the value.
So let's see what pennies digital I found. Kick things
off with the Sizzler. Facebook marketplace has a lightly used
name brand air fryer listed for thirty five dollars and
I triple check the box and manuals are included, which

is three count them three uses. You could pay one
hundred and twenty dollars for new at target, but why
do that when you can put the one hundred dollars
savings toward dinner. Penny's Tip app alliances that still have
warranty or original packaging get my stamp of approval as
value all Star. Roll right into the West Dallas craigslistings,
where someone selling a nearly new mountain bike for two

hundred and twenty dollars. This exact model is still on
shelves at sporting goods stores for four hundred dollars plus
and judging by the photos, no rusty chains, perfectly chunky tires.
It's got more adventure left than most reality dating shows.
Fitness fun and a chance to conquer those Katie trail
curves without your wallet breaking a sweat. Next stop the

(01:32):
Dallas Morning News classifieds, where I found an estate offering
a set of retro mid century dining chairs for one
hundred and fifty dollars total. For design lovers, these match
up mad men vibes without paying auction house premiums. I've
seen one chair alone go for one hundred dollars at
those downtown antique boutiques. Here you get a set of four.
That's what I call seating for ROI not iou feeling

(01:55):
trade curious Over in the mid City Swap group, a
vinyl collector is off. Bring a straight up trade their
rare still sealed Beatles White album for a decent condition turntaber.
If you've got a spare record player gathering dust, this
could flip into music and potential profit collectors. You know,
this is like finding a golden ticket in a cereal box.

(02:16):
Of course, hunt through enough listings in North Texas and
your bound to spot something so zany it deserves a
place in the penny Hall of Fame. Found today on
Arlington's Craigslist one six dah Foo five fig Longhorn steer,
hand painted in Texas flag colors advertised as yard art,
parade float mount or conversation starter. Your call only in

I can't tell you whether you need it, but I
can tell you your hoa is already sweating dollar dreamers.
The secret sauce here is knowing item values in acting fast.
Great deals don't stick around, and sometimes the most stunning
