The above suggestions of Ikea, and craigslist are great ideas for immediate needs. I actually bought a couple of those ikea ones for 25.00 each used from shops that were downsizing or moving. Check garage sales (yes, I realize it is winter, so not viable for many like here in CAlifornia), flea markets, estate sales, and such too. I found stacking lawyer bookshelves for 20 buck a set of 3 shelves, and got 3 sets for 60.00, but that takes alot of time searching, and getting lucky. But you never know, as people right now are throwing great stuff away in dumpsters, or leaving out on there curb for the trashman!
