I am thinking that I'd like to buy something for our new house when we get our tax refund. I hate our furniture because it doesn't match, and the slipcovers always slip. I also know that I would probably like a treadmill at some point in my life. So, which would you buy if you could only get one?

I would get the treadmill because furniture doesn't stay nice for very long anyway (especially when you have kids!). You could always look for a great deal and then buy some newer, nicer slipcovers!

Me personally (and I know I'm probably the oddball here) I'd hit up some second hand store for some nice mix and match furniture, and then pick up a treadmill too. We got a sofa bed (still had the plastic on the mattress) and three really nice recliners last year for around $250 by shopping second hand stores. (One recliner was a gift for FIL)

I'd get the treadmill. I love mine! I use it everyday. Plus I'm always saying that you can't put a price on your health.
But on the other hand, you entire family would benefit from the furniture, so that's a hard one.
Maybe you could find some good deals and get both! You could look on Craigslist for the treadmill. I bought mine used about 7 years ago for 250.00 and it's still going strong.

I'd get the furniture. As much as I would want the treadmill I would find myself being upset every time I got on my treadmill thinking I could have had nice furniture instead. I was going to suggest looking for a used treadmill as well too.

amy to be honest, since you have 3 little ones...i'd buy the treadmill and if you really want new'er couches...go on craigslist and find soem. I got my set for 250 bucks and they do the trick, i wont' dare let my LO's ruin my good furniture so i won't buy anything that i will be ticked off getting messed up. My used couches are still nice and you wouldn't know i bought them 'used'.
