My husband mentioned it was shabby but we hadn&#8217;t actually decided to go out and look for another set.<\/p>\n<p>Today I was in a store called &#8220;Family Bargains&#8221;. I was actually looking for something to use as a kitchen waste compost bucket. Our bucket has started letting in water and the last lot of kitchen waste was swimming in water and going mouldy. Yuk!<\/p>\n<p>I then saw the exact same patio set as the one on our top patio but it was only \u00a319.99. I couldn&#8217;t believe how cheap it was. I am sure we paid much more than that for our original set.<\/p>\n<p>When I got home I told my husband and he said we should go together to check it out. It was too good a bargain to pass up so we bought it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14082\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=14082\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-14082\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14082\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14082\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/old_patio_set.jpg\" alt=\"Old patio set\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/old_patio_set.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/old_patio_set-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/old_patio_set-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14082\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Old patio set<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_14083\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=14083\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-14083\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14083\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14083\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/new_patio_set.jpg\" alt=\"New patio set\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/new_patio_set.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/new_patio_set-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/new_patio_set-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14083\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New patio set<\/p><\/div>\n<p>My husband said I should put these two photos here and say &#8220;look what my husband did to our patio set&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Last year when we bought a small table and two chairs to go by the back door we couldn&#8217;t find anything under \u00a350.00.
