Ask And Ye Shall Receive Freecycle Network

Have any of you heard of this place????  I have been a member with them for a year now.  What it is, you sign up for free, and they have groups all over the US.  If you are needing something, you ask.  Like:  Wanted:  Clothes size 0 to 3 for my little daugther.  Then the email request goes out to all the people in the area that you live. Once the email goes out, you will start getting people offering you the item you requested.  Also, once you are registered with them, you automatically get emails when people are wanting or offering items.  There is no money exchange with this.  It is not allowed.  It is purely people helping people.  If you have anything you want to get rid of, you would simply Offer whatever it is you have.  

I have seen all types of things requested on this site.  Give it a try.  And those who are worried about giving your kids a Christmas.... why not ask for it instead.  Kids outgrow things so fast, that there is a continuous overturn of items.

Here is the link:   http://www.freecycle.org/

Welcome! The Freecycle Network™ is made up of 4,600 groups with 5,793,000 members across the globe. It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns. It's all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills. Each local group is moderated by a local volunteer (them's good people). Membership is free. To sign up, find your community by entering it into the search box above or by clicking on “Browse Groups” above the search box. Have fun!

Make Some Money With This - It Works For Me

Okay, you guys are all aware of Craigslist.com...... If you aren't, you might want to check them out.  Down in the categorie "FOR SALE" is a subcategory called "FREE".  Look for your state and city or somewhere close to you.

You would be surprised at the people giving away things for FREE.  Just because they want to get rid of it I suppose.   Some of things are really nice.  Other things can be fixed up and resold.  What I do is look for things that I can fix up.  Then I have a yard sale and sell it.  My husband thinks I am crazy, but a couple of hundred dollars is not bad for not having to spend a dime for it.

If you don't mind putting a little work into something, like a little elbow grease, it is a source for fast money.  I usually try finding something on Mondays, then running a yard sale that following Friday.

How To Get Stuff for FREE (or close to free)

Hi, Aidpagers. While there may be no such thing as a free lunch, there are some easy and legal ways to get items, merchandise and even food for free or close to free. Here are some ideas - feel free to ad your own sources or success stories!

LINKS

http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites

International. Check the Craig's List site closest to your area. There is a section called "free" where people post stuff they want to get rid of - you usually just have to arrange to pick it up. There is also an area called "wanted" where you can post what you need.

http://www.freecycle.org/

International. Another great site where people post items they are willing to give away.

http://www.thunderfap.com/

A freebie site full of samples, from food to clothes and more. Seems to be USA only. There are many like this on the web, just do a search and read through until you find one you like.

TIPS

At farmers markets the prices usually drop close to closing time because the vendors would rather get something for their wares than pack them up and haul them back home or have them spoil and be useless. For example, at a local farmers market a charity sells donated day-old bagels, 6 for $1.00 - but close to closing time you can get 2 dozen for $1.00. The same goes for the produce, some of which is organic!

At supermarkets, find the discount or clearance rack. This is where they place items that are close to expiring or are overstocked. Around my house they are usually found near the public restrooms. The prices are usually written in with marker on a big sticker.

At all retail stores it never hurts to ask for a discount. If you find a flaw on an item just point it out and ask for a discount. Usually the manager can make the price adjustment.

Find the clearance sections at your favorite store.  Wal-Mart usually has one aisle where their already-low prices are rolled back even more.  Target puts red-tagged clearance items on the endcaps. 

Go to local street fairs and health fairs, where businesses and utilities give away lots of prizes and promotional items. Even if you don't need the items, you can always pass them along to friends, schools or even trick-or-treaters (as long as they are safe).
