I'm witcha.

in a word: yes. unless you have enough money to spend, in which case you need to give me some.

don't tell me you(r parents) paid that much for a couch.

[ree-ree]

What kills me is how much good mattresses cost. We bought a new bed with a beautiful brass frame and that cost nothing compared to the box spring and mattress.

But, ahhhhh...sweet sleep.

If a couch costs twenty thousand dollars, it sure as hell better come with a free car.

i saw a couch at a garage sale for 10 dollahs, once. i would've bought it if i weren't positive that someone must have died on it.

I'm certainly not ashamed to park my skinny ass on a couch I got from the Salvation Army for $50.

Seriously, couches can be really low-priced if you know how to shop. Yes, I (a young male) am talking about shopping. Get your lawn chairs and put on your suntan lotion.

For the past few months, I've been looking for couches with my roommates. We went to garage sales, flea markets and even found a couple of sweet Lay-Z-Boys that were labelled as free. Now, some of this is luck and some of it is mad skillz. I know people will tell you to go as soon as these things open to get good deals and the best merchandise but I find that waking up at the crack of 2 PM leaves you rested and ready to haggle. After all, after 7 hours of haggling, people just get tired and let you have stuff for less than they want to let it go for. And then you're out of there by 3:30 and drinking a beer on it by 6:00 and watching some baseball (or World Cup, as the season is upon us).

When it comes down to it, I prefer to get a couch that has been in service for 30 years and still kicks ass rather than one of those fancy new couches where all the padding could wear out in 6 months. Pick the war veteran over the college-educated wetnose, y'know?

[Phyllis]

why are you not studying.

edit/p.s.: our couch was freeeee.

e-yoo.

but yeah, this show on Bravo (Kathy Griffin: My Life On The D-List) that I began watching 'cause nothing else was on and there just so happened to be a marathon leading up the second season premiere (this kindof stuff happens when youre at home all day during the summer and you're still months away from being able to drive (legally)) anyway, she got this custom leather couch and it cost $20,000 'cept she didnt pay that much for it but i dont know what deal she got because part of the deal was to not talk about the deal. so yeah... and then her new dog chewed a bunch of the leather...

She talked about her $20,000 couch on some show I saw where they take a normal couple and recreate one room from a "celebrity's" home for them for just $3,000. The couple had to act like they were big Kathy Griffin fans, but you know they weren't.

- Mere "she mentioned the cost of her couch 3-4 times and I was like SHUT UP ALREADY and go brush out your poofy bangs" 1975

[mere1975]

part of the deal was to not talk about the deal.

Oh yeah, I heard her on Howard Stern talking about how she cuts deals with companies all the time.

e.g., If she gets a new puppy, she approaches Ralston-Purina to say, "Pay me $30,000 and help me get booked on Letterman, Leno or another big show, and I will mention my new dog AND tell a funny story about how he eats Purina dog food." They usually go for it.

And she complained about Jeff Probst from Survivor because he did a few of the same non-profit fundraising gigs as she did, but he turned down the extra stretch limos and super nice hotel suites they offered, so she had to, too.

- Mere "could you imagine the whining and spoiled requests her husband had to put up with for just 5 minutes?" 1975

My wife works for an interior designer. 20,000 ain't nothin.
And if you saw what the furniture really costs... you'd open a furniture store tomorrow.
