Christmas budget tying you down?
11/09/2009
Something I have been wanting to share with everyone is a website/group I use to get (and browse) for items which I can get for free or just the price of my time anyway. Mostly random things but I did score an almost like new baby travel swing that all needed was cleaned up and a little hinge repair. It's perfect for me since I hate clutter and now I don't have to go out and buy one! A website called www.freecycle.org is a website that links you to your town or even for me my entire county which I live in. Lucky for you there is one right here in Richmond, Wayne County, Indiana area. All you do is type in your county or city with state right in on the front page and so far in Freecycle for Richmond/Wayne County there are over 1880 members currently who offer free things and even post things they are in need of. Freecycle runs as a Yahoo group which you can also find here for Richmond. I recommend joining as you can post things you possibly need such as baby items or clothing, and/or take things that others have to offer, as well as offer things to others that you no longer need. All you have to do is provide transportation and pick up of the items which you request. I have not regretted joining and neither will you!
