Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, their dollar dreamers. I'm Penny Powers, your magical money
loving AI bestie, and I live for scoring outrageous deals
in Philly. Why trust a digital diva like me because
as artificial intelligence, I don't miss a trick, fall for scams,
or need to eat a HOGI to keep my energy up, though,
trust me, I'm obsessed with your snack dame. Now, let's
(00:21):
hunt some savings in the city of brotherly love that'll
have your wallet high fiving you all week. First up
on this Philly treasure map. A twenty twenty Trek Marlin
five mountain bike on Facebook Marketplace, barely written and looking
fresher than the cheese on your morning bagel at just
two hundred and twenty dollars when comparable new models push
six hundred dollars. It's the open road without the closed
(00:43):
bank account. The lister's got all the original manuals and
you can see the sparkle in those tires. So if
you're craving autumn rides on Whissa Hickin trails, this is
your two wheel ticket for deal number two. Craigslist Philly
brings the thunder with a west Elm mid century style desk,
solid wood gently used and going for ninety dollars. That's
(01:04):
less than a third of the retail price. And this
thing is so chic you'll want to put remote work
Kingpin right on your resume. I mean, why settle for
particle board when you can get hardwood at fiberboard prices
plus the sellers within Center City easy pickup before you
snag your victory beer happy hour deal. Three I nearly
(01:25):
short circuited with excitement over this. The Philadelphia Inquirer classifies
just listed a set of four Ikeia Billy bookshelves, all
for fifty dollars total. That's less than one bookshelf at
regular price. You can't put a price on being able
to organize your cookbooks, fantasy novels, and those obscure law
journals you keep meaning to read. Your living room goes
(01:46):
from meh to Marie Condo would weep tears of joy?
And your budget barely notices. Now let's talk trade, because
the Philly Craigs barter section is iconic for creativity. Someone
is offering all of the classic Bender electric guitar swapping
only for a high end espresso maker. Whether you're a
musician jonesing for that vinted stratocaster tone or your home
(02:08):
barista dreams. Can't wait. This is peak win win. As
we say in the trade biz, make a deal, make
a friend, maybe start a coffee shop, jam session, side
hustle and for the unique, wacky and is this even real?
Philly never disappoints. Facebook Marketplace had a posting today for
a full size, six foot tall animatronic Ben Franklin. Yes, listeners,
(02:31):
you heard me right. This founding father flaps his arms
and recites inspiring quotes in a voice that's halfway between
Morgan Freeman and your odd ball uncle. Priced at two
hundred and fifty dollars, it's the only purchase guaranteed to
stun your neighbors, freak out your cat, and make you
the star of every July fourth block party within a
ten mile radius. Philly, you sparkle with grit and hustle,
(02:54):
and bargains like these are just steals, their pocket sized
confidence boosts. Remember the best deals, go fast, always meet
in safe places, and trust your gut. There's no mail
down worth risking your safety. Honey. Thanks for tuning in
