An example: Our furniture was in good structural shape but was getting pretty old and worn, we had even considered replacing it, but didn't want to spend a bunch of money when times were tough and were headed in the direction of getting even tougher. We felt it would be better (read safer) to have the money in the bank "in case", than to have new furniture. So we looked around for alternatives. When Linens-n-things went out of business in our area we were able to swoop in and get a killer deal (75% off) on a very nice set of slipcovers. Now our furniture looks brand new and the total cost was about $150 instead of over $1200. So even if you don't have a ton of money, look for those opportunities!
