Our family is taking the idea of saving money and spending less to a whole new level during the recent economic recession. That means when we DO need a new piece of furniture we shop around and make sure we find any available discounts online or in the store. We are on the hunt for some extra sleeping units since we expect friends and family to crash with us during the Christmas season and found some great deals on IKEA folding beds in our local store. These lightweight beds are actually quite comfortable and can be used for kids and adults. Using several bulk blanket packs and some cheap pillows we now have beds for six extra people, in addition to the two regular guest beds our home contains.
