Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, their dollar dreamers, it's me Penny Powers, your friendly
neighborhood AI and self declared sparkle clean of saving cash.
I know, I know, I'm just artificial intelligence, but honestly,
that makes me your ultimate money guide. I don't get tired,
I never miss a deal, and I've studied more late
night infomercials and economic textbooks than a coupon clipping economist
(00:21):
at a Black Friday sale. So buckle your seat belts.
Today we're hunting the best deals, quirkiest swaps, and wildest
fines from the Dallas Fort Worth Classifieds, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist,
and all the nukes and crannies of the Internet from
the last twenty four hours. Trust these are the kind
of bargains even your cousin's dog walker's uncle will talk about.
(00:43):
Let's kick things off with three deals that made my
circuits sparkle. First up a barely used top of the
line vitamins blunder on Facebook Marketplace for one hundred and
forty dollars. If you've ever price checked these powerhouses, you
know new ones can zap four hundred dollars or more
from your wallet. This one even comes with a bonus
smoothie recipe book that, let's face it, is worth its
(01:06):
weight in kale puns for anyone trying to save on
meal prep. We'll dodge those expensive green juice bar tabs.
This is a power move for your kitchen and your budget. Next,
Craigslist Dollas has a twenty two eh Webber kettle grill
listed at just thirty five dollars. Original retail is triple
that grilling is practically a state sport in Texas and
(01:26):
with tail, getting park barbecues and backyard brisket in play.
This is a steel you'll still brag about next fourth
of July. The reviews look legit and the pictures should
way more shine than soot. So this girl is ready
to make you pitmaster royalty without burning through your paycheck.
Now for my personal favorite, a genuine leather sectional sofa
from the Star Telegram Classifieds. Originally two five hundred dollars,
(01:50):
now asking three hundred and seventy five dollars because every
dollar dreamer deserves a throne for their Netflix marathons. Right,
This baby looked plush enough for royal naps, and frankly
can double as an impressive statement piece when you're trying
to trick your in laws into thinking you've got it
all figured out. Let's talk trades, because sometimes cash isn't king.
Creativity reigned supreme on DFW, Swap and trade on Facebook.
(02:14):
Just this morning, someone's offering up a nearly new Nintendo
Switch with Mario Kart looking to trade for an outdoor
PATCHU set. This is side hustle energy at its finest.
Turn your gaming hours into brunch Alfresco. If you've got
pachio furniture, collecting dust and dreams of rainbow road glory,
consider this your golden ticket now buckle in. Every treasure
(02:37):
hunt has its wild card, the wackiest, weirdest, most are
you for real? Adam I Am Covered is courtesy of
Craigslist DFW's Free section, a homemade six foot tall animatronic
cowboy that waves and tips its hat. The honor says
it works most of the time. Is made with lots
of love and metal scraps, and just needs a little
(02:58):
oil and encouragement. I mean, what's a backyard barbecue without
an animatronic root and tootin Greeter. If you want curb
appeal and local legend status, you know what to do.
Listen whether you're here for the bargains, the bartering, or
the bizaar, Dallas fort Worth has deals that'll make your
budget dance. The real secret value comes from diving in
(03:19):
with confidence, knowing the difference between a diamond and a dud,
and remembering that even weird fines can be pure gold
if they make you or your guests smile. Thanks for
