Thought I would let you guys know of a great worldwide organization divided into local groups. It's a way to give away unwanted stuff & to also ask for something for free. I have belonged to the local group for a short time now. It's free to join. Your first post must be an offer of something for free, & then you may ask for something. You'd be surprised at what is given away! The website is www.Freecycle.org. I just gave away a pair of baseball cleats & am now going to ask & see if anyone has a VCR. Mine died & the daycare kids miss watching the kid videos every now & then. Anyway, check it out!It's great for people on a budget or people looking to get rid of unwanted items!!

That's neat Barb!

I've been doing freecycle for a couple of years now.  Haven't checked it out lately because I've been so busy.  

I have given away many items and I have also received clothes for my children (including 3 absolutely beautiful dresses for my daughter) and other items.  I even asked for help with hanging up some light fixtures at freecycle and got a couple of fellas who came and did it  -- free, of course!   I also gave them some flourescent lighting fixtures.

Freecycle is a really great.

Good input Jean! I got my new puppy from Freecycle! Hey, maybe I could freecycle my H (just kidding?)!

Gee Carol, I don't know. Hadn't really thought of what the ad would look like! Let's see:" Time to clear out the rubbish". "Used middle aged male, needs a new owner who is willing to keep a tight leash on him & is smart enough to know that he has roamed once & is not to be trusted"."Once you take him, he's yours.""I don't want him back in my yard".

Oh Barbarapat, help me clean out the garage! Email through my profile and I'll send you a FREE FREE FREE VCR - heck, I'll pay the postage, too!
