Figure i'd post here rather then the usual Bay Area threads. But I was curious if anyone knew any good places to buy some furniture and such for an apartment? First time leaving home so im trying to figure out if I should just buy it here in the San Jose Area and just bring it all in a truck or just buy it all there in Davis or Sacramento.

 

we have about the same chain stores that you would have in the bay. we don't have an IKEA though.

it all depends on your budget... there's everything from Target to Naturewood.

 

i believe sac/yolo county have lower sales tax...
plus you'll save the space and gas from transporting a smaller load...
i'd say buy when you get to davis...unless it's IKEA stuff...west sac still hasn't gotten theirs yet...so it maybe cheaper to get IKEA type furniture in the bay.


oh yea...and welcome to the valley...stay away from guys in Elk Grove...they like little boys.

 

that's just ed.

 

Are you gonna attend school at UCD?

 

Check on craigslist.com if you interested cheaper/used furniture. There's lots of deals there.

 

walmart, raleys . old counch and tv. all you need for college.

 

There's one in Vacaville. On your way to Davis.

 

Do you need a fridge? I have one I need to move on out of my parents place before they kick my ***. It is a nice black side by side, ice maker, water dispenser and all.

Other then that I would shop in dowtown sac, that is where you will find most deals.

 

Nah just going to a JC. Two roomates of mine are going there though.

Woohoo I will check that out. I hear IKEA's junk is cheap er.. as in the quality.

Now would this fridge be free? Well the place comes with a fridge so its all good anyways.

 

Don't make me come up there.

oh and welcome to the SRIC family.
Enjoy your stay. Don't mind the e-thugs because they are all harmless.

 

if your moving into an apt, when people move out they throw out completely good furniture. they just put it out by the dumpster so they don't have the hassle of moving it around. i found a good desk and table that i use in my apt. sometimes people put up notices of what they are throwing out by the mailboxes and stuff too.

 

No IKEA in Vacaville. Sorry dude. It's in Emeryville off the 80.

 

that's just the distribution warehouse...the store is emeryville between berkley and oakland...last exit before the 80/880 interchange.

 

I could have sworn there was one. Hmm, maybe it's some other store in the outlets I'm thinking about.
