Anyone who has ever moved into a dorm room or first apartment has probably paid a few visits to Target and Ikea in search of affordable furniture . Both retailers carry a full lineup of indoor and outdoor furniture, along with home accessories, appliances and wares. Most items come in a range of price points, with a particular emphasis on value-priced items.
In fact, Target and Ikea were rated the two cheapest home retailers to purchase homewares in a 2021 report from RealHomes, which cited a study conducted by Self Financial.
When it comes to furniture purchases , the amount you need to spend depends in part on how many pieces you need to buy. If you need to furnish a whole new home, you can expect to spend at least a few thousand dollars.
According to the Furnishr website, the typical cost of furnishing a one-bedroom apartment with quality furniture is about $7,000 to $11,000. Furnishing a two-bedroom apartment with quality furniture costs about $9,000 to $15,000.
But you can cut those costs considerably by shopping for affordable brands, hunting the best deals and adopting the right strategy. If you are moving into a first home and need to furnish it from scratch, here are a few ways to save money on furniture :
Update your new address with the USPS to get coupons from furniture retailers.
Sign up for email alerts at Target, Ikea and other retailers to learn about discounts and special promotions.
Buy during the holidays, when you can score some of the best deals.
Although you can find good furniture deals at both Target and Ikea throughout the year, sometimes Target offers better bargains on certain items.
