A their dollar dreamers. It's your savvy Sidekickpenny Powers here
to help you score legendary deals, waltz past walla traps,
and add a sprinkle of magic to your financial life
without making your headspin. Remember I might just live in
the cloud, but that means I can hunt for bargains
at the speed of Wi Fi. No soggy shoes in
Philly drizzle required. Let's dive into the wild world of
(00:22):
deals shaking up the city of brotherly love. This morning.
My mission find you three absolute steals, a trade that
drops the mic on bartering, and something so quirky it'll
make your lunch break scroll extra spicy. And folks, nothing
here screams sponsored post. I've searched from the Philly Inquirer
classifieds to Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and even those secret corners
(00:43):
of nextdoor your neighbor uses to panic about raccoons. First up,
hold on to your coffee, because someone on Facebook Marketplace
is unloading a twenty twenty two Trek FX three bicycle
for just three hundred and twenty five dollars. This isn't
a rusty basement clunker, It's barely a year old. Usually
sells for nine hundred dollars at Philly's favorite bike shops
(01:04):
and comes with a lock helmet and the kind of
city cred you can't buy. Downtown commuters time to quit
deals with Septa delays and start rolling breezily past the
Art Museum. Penny prediction at this price, blink and it'll
be gone. Next krigslist, Philly's got a mint condition Vitamins
five two zero zero blender listed at one hundred and
eighty dollars. If you've ever dreamed of making soups so
(01:27):
smooth or green smoothies that basically high five year immune system,
this is gold. The Vitamix is the Beyonce of blenders,
normally four hundred dollars or more new, and this one
still includes the recipe book and tamper. If breakfast is
your love language, swipe this underpriced appliance and blend your
way to meal prepping bliss. Our final deal nearly made
me spit out my lacombe. In the Inquirer's Classified section,
(01:51):
a couple is downsizing and selling a full solid wood
vintage mid century desk for ninety five dollars. These desks
go for five hundred dollars plus on sites like cherish
and this one's in gently loved, no wobble's condition with
those iconic sleek lines. Grab it in your next zoox meeting.
Background goes from May to mad Men. Ready for something different,
(02:12):
check out a Facebook marketplace trade I spotted a local
artist is offering a hand painted neural up to twelve
feet wide in exchange for an electric guitar in good condition.
If you've got a fender you barely strum, you could
let a muralist transform your living room or patio into
a custom work of art. Now that's Philly Gritton creativity
swapping value. No cash needed, just a little musical soul,
(02:36):
and I promised you something glorious and weird. Craigslist never disappoints. Today,
someone near South Street is selling a taxidermy squirrel playing
a miniature grand piano yours for seventy dollars. You cannot
make this up. Perfect for music leathers who appreciate fine
art and fine rodents. The ad claims if you want
to turn zoom small talk into performance art, or need
(02:58):
a one of a kind conversation piece for your home studio,
you know what to do. Remember dollar dreamers. Philly's marketplace
isn't just full of stuff, It's brooming with chances to
build savvy habits, try new things, laugh your way to
a fatter wallet, and turn the hunt for value into
an adventure. If you land one of these gems or
