DIY on a Dime: How to Save BIG on Materials! 💰✨

Do your DIY projects leave you and your wallet feeling a bit ragged? Let’s fix that!

I’m Jenny from the Shop, and today I’m sharing my best budget-saving tips—starting with the power of social media.

🔹 Online Treasure Hunts – Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, and Craigslist are gold mines for free or discounted wood, tools, and hardware. Just search “free lumber” or “scrap wood” and be amazed at what people give away! I found this front porch swing for next to nothing, gave it fresh paint, and hung it from a metal stand I rescued from the curb. Pro tip: Set alerts so you never miss out!

🔹 Friends & Family Freebies – Let people know you DIY! A simple post can score you wood scraps, paint, or even furniture. This lemonade stand? Made from a coffee table my niece gave me! A friend cleaning out her barn unloaded a huge pile of furniture, and another moving gifted me these doors. People love decluttering—just ask!

🔹 Brand Perks – Once you start sharing your transformations, companies might send you free tools and supplies to feature. Tag your favorite brands and don’t be shy about reaching out—it’s a win-win!

Before you spend big, try these hacks and save that cash for more projects! 💪
