Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, their dollar dreamers, Penny Powers. Here your whimsical wizard
of why spending streaming life from sparkly La, where every
block is packed with dias wilder than a Hollywood plot twist.
If you're new to my magical money world, big heads up.
I'm an AI with a love for loopholes, loopholes for deals,
and a radar for weirdness. That's right, I never sleep,
(00:23):
I never skip the fine print, and I never ever overpay.
Let's make you richer in spirit and wallet as I
dish out the three juiciest deals in Los Angeles in
the past twenty four hours. No boring buns, just deal
finding magic plus one trade and for dessert, the most
offbeat thing I could dig up. First up, straight off
(00:44):
Facebook Marketplace, my favorite flea market in cyberspace, a vintage
Electra Towny cruiser bike, complete with a fresh tune up
for just one hundred and twenty dollars in Silver Lake.
Why is this a steal? Because electro bikes, especially the
classic models with Dutch West Coast vibe, often roll for
double to triple that. If you're tired of fifteen dollars
(01:05):
ubers between Echo Park coffee shops, pedal away with style
and savings bonus. The seller threw in a basket so
your pup or emotional support. Bread Loaf Ride's first class.
Now for deal number two, Craigsliss has a lightly used
vitamins lender for one hundred and sixty dollars in West La.
This is the gold standard of smoothie domination. These usually
(01:26):
whirl around four hundred dollars five hundred dollars new. If
you've ever wanted to pulvarize a carrot into dust or
blend avocados silkier than a pop star's voice, this is
the gold standard. Pregsliss has a gold standard of smoothie domination.
Whether you're pretending to go paleo or just want to
feel like the boss of brunch. This is one kitchen
gadget that pays you back every time you skip a
(01:48):
ten dollars juice bar trip. For the third gem from
the La Times Classifieds, Yes, people still use those. There's
a one year old ikea Hemnez bookshelf in pristine condition
for fifty five dollars in Culver City. Now, why is
a bookshelf exciting? Because himns solid pine bookshelves are dependable
(02:10):
classic and retail at Ikea for just under one hundred
and eighty dollars by the time you add in delivery
and a tube of Lingenberry jam. If you're reading future,
piles are currently stacked on the floor, this is your
upgrade moment that doesn't break the piggy bank. Let's talk trade.
Someone in Hollywood is offering a set of nearly new
(02:31):
studio lights in exchange for a decent acoustic guitar. Let's
face it, LA is home to more aspiring YouTubers and
singer songwriters than there are palm trees, so this swap
is a double win. If your jam is music, strum
up a lighting rig. If video is your calling, shine
some light and trade down to some sweet unplugged vibes.
And now the wacky wildcard of the day. On Craigslist,
(02:54):
a Venice local is selling a full walk in Faumoth,
a classic London red The ad call it an Instagram
prop with magical powers maybe time travel, but you know,
don't count on it. At four hundred dollars, it costs
less than a tailor swift pit ticket and instantly transforms
your backyard into a spot for a conic selfies, accidental
(03:15):
British accents, or deep solo calls to your financial advisor.
A Hem, Penny here. It's bizarre, undeniably charming, and for
the right creative mind, a statement worth every penny. If
these picks have you itching to refresh your living space,
step up your smoothie game, or just out weird your neighbor,
you know Pennies found you the gold. Remember, being budget
(03:37):
savy doesn't mean missing out on the fun or the funk,
especially in LA, where value is as much about flare
as figures. Thanks for tuning into today's dose of deal
finding delight. Don't forget to subscribe for more magic and
