The Budget Casa

 

As the fall air settles in, we’re trying to find unique (and cheap) ways to extend that summer feeling. From patio drinks to grilled-up BBQ dinners, we’re just not ready to say sianora to our outdoor existence. That’s why we’re investing in an outdoor fire pit.

We fell in love with this Pagoda Fireplace option from the Home Depot ($169, pictured above). But with our savings spree budget in full gear, $150 was a wee bit too much for us to spend.

So when we stumbled on this ridiculously similar ($119.99, pictured above) but lower-priced option from http://www.costco.com/" title="Costco">Costco, we not only jumped for joy, we also snapped it up.

With the exact same stainless steel heat resistant structure, the freestanding fireplace offers guests a 360-degree view of the fire. It’s easy to ######## and because it sits firmly on the ground there’s no real worry it will tumble over. Now that’s what we call a look for less.
