FreeCycle

Speaking of Free! Another valuable resource for getting 100% free stuff is FreeCycle! F reeCycle is an awesome resource where you sign up in your local area to get emails from people looking to either get rid of stuff or seeking out free stuff. In addition, you can post things you are looking for and things you want to get rid of and people can either come get your stuff or you can get stuff from other people. In some ways it can be like a trading group, because you can trade things you don't need for things you do need, but you aren't required to post things by any means...


A word of caution though, Freecycle stuff can go pretty fast depending on where you live, so you will need to check your email throughout the day if you want to get some of the more wanted items. I have gotten plenty of furniture, clothes, and other odds and ends from FreeCycle. Not to mention, it is a great way to meet people in your local area who are also interested in a frugal and even eco-friendly lifestyle.
