What’s better than free stuff? Not much I can think of. Just thought I would tell you about the Lubbock Freecycle Group. It’s a Yahoo group where people post offers of stuff they want to give away. You can also put up “wanted” posts if you have a specific item you’re looking for, and someone might just want to give one away to you. The only bummer thing about it is that it’s hard to get the free stuff unless you sit at your computer and wait for new offers to pop up and then reply immediately. Apparently there are lots of people out there who like getting free stuff. I recommend putting up a “wanted” post if there’s something you need, and it’s also a GREAT way to get rid of stuff that you don’t want to haul off. I’ve given away several different things on there… a box of canned goods, an old table, and an old sofa. It’s perfect for getting rid of big stuff, since we don’t have a truck. Just find someone who wants it and they’ll pick it up. Also, if you’re like me, you have a stack of stuff in your garage that you never get around to donating to the thrift store. It’s the perfect way to get rid of that stuff, too. And chances are the person picking it up really needs it.
Keep looking for improvements on this site. I realize it doesn’t look so good right now, but as soon as my graphic designer has time, he’s supposed to re-design it for me. He’s fabulous, so I know it’s going to look great! No more yucky wordpress template.
You can also subscribe to emails and get the listings in your inbox. Much more effective than sitting at your computer and waiting for it to pop up on the actual website!
