One Man's Trash...

Have I ever mentioned that I am a Freecycle junkie? Despite getting half a gazillion e-mails in my in-box daily (I go back and forth between subscribing and unsubscribing), I have gotten great things. This is how it works...

You find stuff in your house that you no longer want or need and offer it to someone else who might want or need it for no cost, right in your area. I have gotten rid of a lot of stuff this way. However, because people have also done this I have gained a lot of stuff this way. I have gotten a bunk bed, bags of clothing, a battery powered ride-on type of car for the girls, a bike, various books, a plant for the garden, kitchen items, a twin mattress and boxspring, two twin beds, 6 boxes of unopened name brand cereal, other grocery items and the list goes on.

The biggest problem with Freecycle is that it seems like for every one item I offer up, I wind up finding two items I really want. Did I ever mention that Mr. Clean hates that I am a Freecycle junkie?
