Did you know that patio furniture is really expensive? I had no idea. That's been probably the biggest shocker to me as of late. I had originally thought that for a really good 5-piece set (table and 4 chairs) that it would be around $100. And it would look like this:
Ummm yeah... this one is $1000.Two words: holy crap!
Have I been hiding under a rock my whole life? How did I not know that patio furniture is REALLY expensive??
Even Walmart is selling this set for $399--way more than I was prepared for!
Thankfully there is a place called Garden Ridge.
I made Ryan meet me after work yesterday, and we walked around looking at patio furniture for a good hour because...all of their outdoor stuff was on major sale!!!
We found this basic black wrought-iron set for only $99!!!
It's perfect for right now...I just wanted SOME kind of seating outside since we have such a nice backyard, and we are out there every night with Scout. So, for right now, this is a great little set that will provide some seating without breaking the bank!
AND Garden Ridge is having a 50% off sale on all their outdoor cushions, so I'm going back today after work and purchasing 4 cushions for a great price!
AND their umbrellas are only $6!! May be purchasing one of those beauties too :)

Good deal!!! We went through the same shock when we got our patio set (on clearance at Dick's for $70) but I could not believe how expensive it is!
ReplyDeleteI know! It's like, hey, this stuff is going to sit out in the rain. and get dirty. ?!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Garden Ridge news.
My dad said Lowes & HomeDepot have really great sales come fall on all the outdoor stuff, for anything that can wait a while.
I really do love your blog and all your pics and all your hints! Thanks for sharing. :)
you are so funny..
ReplyDeleteWe still dont have a "nice" patio set after almost 6 years of living in our house. But if our backyard was as nice as yours I would definitely have to splurge! Our backyard is kind of on a hill, not fenced in, etc... enjoy your garden ridge set..it looks nice!
I feel the same way! I started researching patio furniture before we moved, and I was shocked to see how much it was!
ReplyDeleteLike the others, I had no idea patio furniture went for such high prices! But, thanks for the Garden Ridge tip... we're hoping to catch some "end of season" deals. :)
ReplyDeletep.s. I saw that y'all went to Tomball...that where I'm from! My parents still live there--actually closer to Cypress & Klein than downtown Tomball-- but I graduated from high school from THS.
