If you really want to do it on the cheap, wait until the last weekend of August thru the first weekend of September. That is when all the leases change over and everyone moves. Whatever does not make it on the moving truck, ends up on the sidewalk and it is free for anyone. Two years ago, when S was moving, I was assigned the task of sitting with the furniture in front of the apartment (since everyone is moving at the same time, you often get out of your apartment, but need to wait for your apartment to be available) and guard it. I was simply amazed by the numbers of people walking the street looking for free furniture. August 31st is the main day - on a Tuesday this year.
