Freecycle - The Ultimate in Frugal
You know all that stuff sitting in your garage that you don’t use, don’t want to throw away but just can’t seem to get around to taking to a local charity’s donation center?
I’ve got the perfect solution for you – Freecycle it!
Freecycle is one of the coolest ideas I’ve seen in ages, and as a member myself I can personally attest to how great it works. The entire premise is perfect for frugal types like me. When you visit the website, you can search for the mailing list of the group in your area.
If you need something, you post to the mailing list in your area telling the other members what you need. Likewise if you have something to give away, you can post about that too. The only hard and fast rule is that all items have to be free, though the specific rules for posting to the list may vary depending on your local area, so be sure to read the details that you’ll receive in your welcome email!
If you’re anything like AntiChristy over at Urban Ecoist, you have tons of stuff that would be perfect for Freecycling!

Thanks, Sandra. I’m glad to be here. Apparently your site is so busy right now that it is overloading the servers! I’ll be stopping by to say hello soon!

Michael, Thanks for this great tip for a pack-rat trying to reform and be normal again. I will head over there now and check it out. Also, the tips for writer’s block will be started tomorrow! I’ll be a regular at your “place”, don’t be a stranger at mine. % )
