This is one item on which you should spend as much as you can afford for a mattress and spring that will remain comfortable for a long time. Beware of "drastic reductions" and "fan-astic bargains" in beds. Do you save by buying a complete bedroom or dining room set, instead of individual items? You may save money if you actually need each item offered in vhe package. But you won't save if the room-full includes things you had not intended to buy in the first place.

Fill out the "basics" you can't afford to buy new with good-quality second hand furniture from second-h and stores, auctions, want ads in local newspapers and friends. Good quality used furniture is a better bargain both in durability and attractiveness than low-quality new furniture.

Seconds or slightly damaged furniture also can be a bargain, but before you buy find out how much necessary repairs would cost. How can you save in buying new, finished furniture? Choose basic designs rather than "fad" furniture which may cost just as much but soon go out of style. Select with an eye toward the future: sturdy but inexpensive canvas fold-up chairs, for example, might do now for the dining area, be used later as porch furniture.

Should you buy a whole housefull (or apartment-full) ef furniture all at once when you set up housekeeping? Few younger Americans, or even older ones, are in a position to make an investment involving so much money and forethought. A more realistic approach would be to draw up a two, three or five-year furniture-buying plan to meet your own particular needs. Where should you begin? By focusing on the basic, essential pieces you'll need right away such as a bed, a couch, table and chairs, a good portable lamp, a bureau dresser, a mirror. Decide in advance what job you want each piece to perform in terms of durability, beauty, practicality, economy. But most of these are expensive items.
