Simple concept, but it takes will power to not satisfy your desire for instant gratification. For example I waited until after the Superbowl one season and bought a giants jersey (they didn't win that year) for 40% off.
As far as used goes when my fiance and I were looking for furniture for our apartment we would go to wealthier areas and see what was for sale at estate sales, garage sales, and even barn sales. We found a beautiful wood table with 4 chairs that looks like it's worth 1,000 at least but we paid 100 because the seller just wanted to move the item.
The Salvation Army can really have some gems too it all depends on what you are looking for. Again we bought a great dresser for 50 bucks. This thing was made with some effort it's not like we bought used IKEA. Nothing wrong with getting IKEA, but there are better quality products out there. Note when buying used really check the item out and make sure it's not put together with staples or plastic pegs.
Really consider estate sales a lot of items can be almost new you might not even notice and the prices are usually very low.
