From the Lowe's parking lot (I kid you not), I apped for the Amazon Chase Visa on my Kindle Fire (Lowe's had WiFi) which was instantly approved, so I hit the "order" button for a new stainless steel, automatic garbage can as well as some misc stuff we were needing that I'd parked in the shopping cart, waiting.
From there, to Ikea to order shelving, dining room set, buffet, breakfast bar stools, living room tables. Seems like it was 17 boxes that I had them pick and deliver (best money I ever spent
)
I went a bit overboard, but it was worth it to have the house set up right from the start.
Same for me... I went way overboard at first.... new grill... basketball hoop.. ping pong table... new couches.. new tv... 9 months later, I am regretting the overboard a little bit now my util totally tanked.... hah paying it off slowly month by month, but i have nothing I need to buy for a while, and I still love every second of the new house
