"Belt Tightening in 2019, Tell Us Some Cost Saving Tricks"
Thu Jan-17-19 03:51 PM by Cam

  

          

Moved into a bigger place recently and need some new rugs.
I'd been looking at vintage rugs at the main place I know to go.
http://www.abchome.com/shop/antique-anatolian-runner-3-8-x9-10-1474396

But the prices are kind of outrageous.
So, instead I started looking at international retailer's online options. I found a way larger selection (including those vintage Anatolian rugs) at fractions of what ABC charges.

I just scooped this bad boy for $240, with free shipping from Kayseri Turkey.

My point, just like a lot of other luxurious things I love, I'm never paying full price for an imported rug again.
