Oh I know! We try to DIY whenever possible and watch for sales. We sort of "flipped" my condo for $6000 because we just bought stuff when it was on sale. We found flooring on clearance and bought enough for the whole place, even though it just sat in stacks in the kitchen for months lol! We got new-to-us second hand appliances and lighting, and new kitchen cabinets and countertops on sale. But it looked so good when it was done, and I sold it for 25k more than I bought it for, just 6 months later!
But when you need something NOW, you kind of have to pay whatever they're asking for it! I think we just got really lucky with the condo to find so many good deals at the same time!
