Freecycle: You Don’t Know What You’re Missing

I just got the cutest pair of shoes. Sneaker clogs to be exact. They’re brand new, they’re comfy and they’re just my size. The best part? I didn’t spend a dime. I got them through Freecycle.
I love Freecycle. I joined so I could find a good home for my son’s old clothes, my old career clothes and maternity clothes. Little did I know there would be plenty of goodies for me too! Today someone even gave away an above ground pool. Every day I see great bargains; furniture, clothes, food and household items, some new and some used and all free.
If you’re not familiar with freecycle, it’s simple. Sign up, post items you no longer need and browse items others no longer need. Most request an immediate pick up, but hey, for free I can be there in five minutes.
Visit the Freecycle website to learn more and, hopefully, join up. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
I’m all over that! I have never heard of Freecycle. An above ground pool? How awesome is that?!
I love freecycle. I love that my used items go to someone who can use them, and I really love for great stuff for free!
I was banned for life in my area. Back before I was into this frugal thing- it was my fault and I didn’t read the rules…
Freecycle-I just wanted to let you know that Freecycle is fantastic! Just the other day I received an espresso/cappucino maker that retails for $900! I’ve also received a fish tank, camera, toddler bed, playyard for my son, and many garden plants. I have to go now and post some more items on freecycle that I no longer want!
I’ve just discovered freecycling too, got this I-Mac and put some extra memory in it after my G-4 died of old age (and hard use). I’m very amazed at the stuff being traded, planning on trading out my old junk for brand new used junk!
