Shop Smarter

Darth Vader is a master of the dark side of the Force. Considered the Emperor's most trusted servant. He is more machine than humankind. Wait! That means he is still a man, even if only parts of him are. So where would Vader go to buy things for his human-side wants and needs?
Walmart Superstore!
You may disagree that Vader would ever pay for an item. Have you seen the
locals who shop at Walmart? If the dark Lord tried to leave the store with freebies, he could cause a riot. To adhere to the local mentality of mortals he would send a Storm Trooper to purchase a few items.

Money Saving Tips

The only new piece of furniture I own in my house is my mattress.
Everything else is a hand-me-down. Not only have I furnished my
entire house for less than $1,000, I'm saving the environment by
reclaiming furniture that would have otherwise ended up in the
trash. To make everything match and look nice, I have repurposed
many of the pieces. I'm no handyman, but there are several ways you
can repurpose furniture with little experience and
without spending a ton of money.
1. Paint
A fresh coat of paint gives life to an old piece of wood furniture.
You can paint the furniture to match the original wood or in any
color you like, (I have a blue desk.) The major hardware chains
sell samples of low-VOC paint for about $3.50 and its enough paint
to finish most jobs.
