My girlfriend and I got a heck of a deal on a coffee maker today. We got it for free. My girlfriend knows a guy from a Manitou Facebook page. He works at an area motel, which is undergoing renovation. Dude has 60 coffee makers that he's trying to unload. I only had to walk about two blocks to pick it up. (We almost got a TV, but those went quick.) Granted, it's a motel coffee maker, so it's got a small pot, but we needed a new one (our cat broke ours.) We can make due with it, considering that it was free. And free is good! (If you live in the area, I can tell you where to go, as he said to send anyone who wants one.)

My motto is if it's free, it's for me.

That's a good motto! Free is always good.

Cheap is good but free beats cheap by a mile. Glad you managed to get one.

Pretty much. My girlfriend found the deal. I just had to go pick it up. By the way, were you on Epinions? Your name looks familiar.

They were giving away TV's, but those went really fast.

That is a good time to get something when it is free. One can get other good stuff from motels sometimes like lamps.

A free lamp would have been cool. They were getting rid of coffee makers and TV's, and that's what little I know.

It's the best deal going. You can't beat free, unless it was a normal sized maker

It does. We're hoping to get some good use out of it.

Was the cat trying to feed his caffeine habit?

He knocked it off the shelf. Luckily, there was no coffee in it at the time.
