Your Weekly Money Saving Move: Craig's List, Freecycle and Garage Sales

I have found that the free section of Craigs List is a great place to find some old things you can up cycle or use for another craft/project. Another good website is freecycle.org.  You have to sign up for freecycle.org (it's free) but you can fund great stuff in your very own community.

I recently looked on Craig's list and found some wicker chairs and matching glass table for free. If I had the space to store it for the next house, I would've picked it up, spruced it up with some white spray paint and new cushions and vóila! Some new front patio furniture for practically nothing!

Garage sales are another good place to pick up some things you're looking for for cheap. The key to a garage sale is go early, know exactly what you're looking for and if they don't have it, move to the next garage sale.
