My solid wood computer desk came from freecycle. It's small, has doors that close in front, a slide out shelve for a printer, a filing drawer, a small shelve to toss things on and a place to hide my CPU along with a slider out for my keyboard. It was in great shape when I picked it up. Personally, I think it's perfect for me and what I need from a desk.............I adore freecycle, but things in my area go so quickly.

You are going to hate me....but I also got two beautiful trellises, one still in the box! FREE from craigs list....

and a really nice exercise bike from the trailer park that I live in. Someone left it and I had a "call out" there for one...and yep..it landed in my hands!

I also picked up two 10 lb weights tobuild up my arms again. These came from freecycle.

I LOVE garage sales....I cant wait for the summer to hit!

I looooooooove Craigslist - but not as much as freecycle.

Some of the free stuff on CL is junk - but you can find some good stuff if you have the time to drive on over and check it out.

I love freecyle because it's always free and it's usually something someone needs.

Between Freecycle and Craig's List, I've very nearly furnished a two bedroom apartment. A few years ago, I got a perfectly good smoker grill for free. We just had to go get it. Accessories and a cover, though a bit rough, were included.

Spring and summer offers the best yard/garage/rummage sales, but around here...they go on all year long. I've seen some amazing deals!

I'm cheap, but I'm not easy. Oh wait, I'm not cheap either.


Sorry. Just couldn't help myself.
