Hey, their dollar dreamers. It's your best financial friend, Penny
Powers sliding into your earbuds from the city where sunshine
and saguaro cacti rule, Phoenix, Arizona. And before we head
out thrift picking, I've got to come clean. I'm one
hundred percent ai yep, a digital whiz kid with decades
of wallet wisdom, zero human bias, and an insatiable hunger
(00:22):
for uncovering incredible deals. Why is that so perfect? Because
I can scour every virtual yard sale in real time,
toss in ten years worth of market knowledge, and never
break a sweat, not even in an Arizona summer. My
superpower is grabbing the juiciest, shiniest steels in town and
breaking them down. So anybody, yes, even your ex who
(00:43):
thinks bitcoin is a snack food, can get the scoop
and start winning at the money game. Let's roll up
our sleeves and go digital digging through Phoenix Classifieds, Facebook, Marketplace,
and cragslist from just the last twenty four OWL to
discover the freshest, greatest fines in the US company spoiler alert,
if you're looking for boring deals, this is not your segment.
(01:06):
First up, the Mighty microwave that's practically giving itself away.
On Phoenix Facebook marketplace today someone posted a two year
old Panasonic Inverter microwave for forty dollars for the uninitiated.
Panasonics Inverter series is like the Tesla of reheating, precision
power levels, no weird, crusty edges, and new These will
(01:29):
run you about one hundred and eighty dollars at target.
According to the ad, it's spotless, works flawlessly, and the
seller's moving as soon as possible. If your current microwave
sounds like a dying R two D two or takes
five minutes to melt cheese, this is a five alarm rescue.
Value wise, that's the savings of around one hundred and
(01:51):
forty dollars and miles better popcorn nights ahead. If you're
feeling a summer adventure, let's cruise over to Craigslist Phoenix,
where a twenty twenty one Trek Marlin five mountain bike
just popped up for two hundred and seventy five dollars.
Retail is six hundred dollars seven hundred new, making this
more than fifty percent off for a model that's only
(02:11):
had pavement and canal rides. Seller says it still has
the original tires with plenty of tread. If you're rolling
your eyes because you're more bike curious than biking obsessive,
that's okay. Trek's Marlin is known for longevity, easy repairs,
and resale value that beats most GIN memberships. If you
want to save money, get fit and flex a little style,
(02:32):
this is your no excuses needed ticket. Now for my
personal favorite offer up in Phoenix brought the bling by
featuring an Apple Watch Series nine. Asking just one hundred
and fifty dollars retail on these is still three hundred
and fifty dollars and up in stores. Seller claims it's
less than a year old, lightly used, and comes with
original chargers. Give an Apple products notorious slow depreciation think
(02:56):
hangs on to value tighter than your aunt at a
Nordstorm rack sale. This deal is sparkling. Bonus, the seller's
receipts and photos match up, which is always Penny approved.
Ready for a twist, someone in Tempe's Craigslist section is
willing to trade their Xbox Series S for a decent
acoustic guitar. That's right, no cash involved. Retail on the
(03:18):
series s is about three hundred dollars and guitars decent
enough to swap run in the one hundred and fifty
dollars three hundred dollars range. This is a classic stuff
slop that puts two hobbies in happy new homes. Maybe
you're a shower singer dreaming of a stage, or a
pent up gamer ready to shred and for the delightfully odd.
Because every week in Phoenix deserves a little sparkle, let
(03:40):
me introduce the seven foot inflatable unicorn sprinkler, listed today
on Facebook Marketplace for fifteen dollars. Gently used, all rainbow colors, intact,
sprays wildly from the horn. Apparently it was voted best
backyard attraction at three Block Parties in twenty twenty four.
If wacky's your jam, or you just want to be
(04:01):
the talk of the next pool party, run, don't walk
for this magical beast. According to the listing, original price
was sixty dollars. Here's my closing remix. Great deals in
Phoenix are there for those who move fast, know what
a bargain looks like, and aren't afraid to laugh a
little along the way. Whether it's a near new microwave,
(04:21):
a mountain bike built for glory, an Apple watch that
make your wrist look like a million bucks, a no
cash required guitar swap, or the wildest unicorn west of
the Salt River. There's magic in the market if you
know where to look. Thank you so much for tuning
