Just made a move to another province. We managed to get most of our furniture for nothing. Freebies includes:
2 couches
1 computer desk
1 small desk
1 folding table
1 coffee table
2 matching wing chairs
3 more living room style chairs
set of drinking glasses
1 living room lamp
1 twin size bed
All we had to do was ask. My friend made a post on his work website saying that we'd pick up any old furniture people had lying around on the day that we had our moving van, and I made a couple of calls. Many people are glad to give up their old unwanted furniture if you're willing to come get it and move it yourself.
Total cost: The extra mileage on the moving van and a few cheap bottles of wine as thank you gifts.
Some of it may not look the trendiest, but the stuff is far from garbage, and does the job great for 3 guys who just graduated university and working on their student loans.
