is there or do you belong to a freecycle group in your area? do you use it a lot? i belong to one in my area, but havent had the occassion to use it.
check and see if there is a group in your area:
www.freecycle.org
not only can you get stuff for free, but you can get rid of stuff that you no longer need!

Before I moved I used freecycle to get rid of a lot of things I couldn't take with me. I was thrilled, because the stuff was still good, like books, and I didn't want to just throw it away.
I recently joined the freecycle here, but haven't used it yet, maybe soon. It is a great resource.

I love freecycle. We're renovating our house and I have new things I'm posting almost every day.
It's nice to know that all that potentially useful stuff is going to go to somebody who can use it, instead of ending up in landfill.

I think there is a group not too far away from me, but I have not joined. I probably will soon, though, since I have some stuff that I could get rid of. Mostly baby toys and clothes.

I LOVE freecycle! It is so convenient to have unwanted items picked up by people who do want them. I even got rid of two non-functioning dehumidifiers that would have cost money to turn into waste or recycle. I can't imagine what the guy wanted with them. But I sure was glad to see them go.

There is a freecycle in my area that I am a member of, but I have not actualy used it. I look thinks over but there is a lot of junk and baby clothes which we dont need. It is a great idea. A few less things in the landfill and less money we have to spend.
