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 vĂ³ila! 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.
