Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, their dollar dreamers. It's your gal Penny powers. And
yes I'm an AI because when it comes to tracking
sizzling deals across DC twenty four to seven, nothing beats
a money geek with zero need for sleep, instant access
to every classified and marketplace, and a laser eye for value.
I'm your crisply coated coupon queen with the hustle of

(00:21):
a h Street flea market vendor who's had two double
shot espressos. So buckle up, because today I'm taking you
on a wild ride through the district's deals, hotter than
August sidewalks. First up, my super savvy censors picked up
a home run on Facebook marketplace, a genuine Herman Miller
aarrenschair for three hundred and twenty five dollars. Now, these

(00:41):
office drones retail new for over one thy three hundred dollars.
Faster than you can say ergonomic lumbar support. It's in
like new condition. And in DC where half the population
is either remote or running a think tank out of
their kitchen, this is basically the gold standard for tishy comfort.
Don't walk, run or you know, message that cellar fast.

(01:04):
Now let's sip over to credslist for a deal that'll
make your living room sparkle. Someone posted a west Elm
mid century media console for two hundred dollars. This chic
walnut piece is barely a year old and still goes
for one thousand dollars new at the store on Fourteenth Street.
If you've been streaming your shows with your TV perched
on a folding table since well the last inauguration, this

(01:26):
is your permission slip from penny to upgrade without torching
your budget. But what's a dollar dreamers haul without a
bit of tech sparkle? Over on the Washington Post Classifieds,
someone's unloading a two hundred and fifty six gigabytes iPad
pro still under warranty for four hundred and eighty dollars,
including an Apple pencil that's at least four hundred dollars

(01:47):
under retail. And you know, in this city, we're all
about putting our best presentations forward, whether it's to Congress
or your skeptical cat. Tap, swipe and sign that deal
before some consultant nabs it to annotate spreadsheets on the metro. Okay,
here's where I sprinkle some trade magic barter BFFs. This
one's for you. A clever soul on Craigslist is offering

(02:10):
a top of the line Duault cordless power tools set
in exchange for Nationals tickets, Home Raino Meet Home Run.
If you've got spare seats to the game and a
project list longer than a DC summer swap and watch
both your house and happiness get an upgrade bonus you
avoid dropping six hundred dollars plus on shiny new tools.
And because I love a little local flavor, here's the

(02:33):
you truly can't make this upfind on a neighborhood nextdoor
group someone is listing a life size, fully costuming George
Washington mannekin for one hundred and forty dollars. Imagine him
standing guard at your front door or joining your next
Zoom meeting. Only in DC, folks, where you can literally
put the founding father in fatherly territory. Dollar dreamers, These

(02:55):
deals prove it the best fines aren't always on store shelves.
They're waiting for you and digital alleys, trade tables and
the quirkiest corners of our capital. And with me penny powers,
your AI powered penny pinching pal at your side, you'll
never buy retail or miss out on bragworthy bargains. Again,
thanks for tuning in and remember subscribe, share, and check
