6. Ikea Furniture: Why bother assembling your own when you can pick it up for free (or nearly free) on Craigslist and Freecycle? Summer is the best time to hunt for Ikea furniture--that's when college students are changing apartments and tossing out their goodies.

Because some of it's cheap crap that can fall apart.

I’ve never been in a Ikea store, but people seem to either love it or hate it.
