Free Stuff!

Have you joined Freecycle yet?

The Freecycle Network is a group of people who give away things they don't want anymore for free, and also take other people's used stuff. I've been a member of Youngstown Freecycle for a long time, and it's easy to use— you sign up for the listserv and you get emails directly to your inbox from people who have stuff they're offering up. You can get clothes, toys, food, games, electronics, and even big stuff like beds, mattresses, windows, pianos, and couches.

So far Adam and I have gotten a free bleacher cushion— y'know, one of those things you bring to a football game to sit on. We go to a lot of those in a year, and all we had to do was drive a few blocks over to get it!

We'll probably need to be using this on a more regular basis, if Adam gets laid off...
