Good NestingIt can be overwhelming to buy stuff when you have no money to do it. Thanks to the Internet, you don’t need money to get what you need, as there are plenty of sites that offer free stuff. Here’s just a sampling:
Furniture
You could visit a furniture store to buy a new couch. But that’s probably not your best move if you’re short on cash and are working with a limited budget.
If you need furniture for functional purposes versus decoration, get it free via Craigslist. Under their “for sale” section, you’ll see “free.” While you can find almost anything at no cost in this section, such as barbecue grills, tires, or even pets, it’s often loaded with furniture to outfit your entire home on a budget of zero. As long as you have a vehicle big enough to move the furniture, you’ll be good to go.
Electronics
TVs may seem cheap nowadays, but there’s nothing less expensive than free. While you can use the Craigslist free section to find no-cost electronics, you may find some diamonds in the rough through the Facebook Marketplace.
Find your free electronics on this popular social media site, then look for an entertainment center to store them on. Although the items may not be the latest and greatest models, you can get them at zero cost now to save up for something better in the future.
Appliances
Whether you’re moving into a new, unfurnished place or your fridge or microwave breaks, you could get free appliances from Freecycle.org. Instead of tossing stuff in the trash and filling up landfills, this site believes in recycling items locally.
Books
You could check out books at the library for free or go to Littlefreelibrary.org to borrow books from locals.
If eBooks are your thing, you can gain access to over 60,000 of them through Project Gutenberg.
Moving Boxes
You may need boxes to move to a new place or store stuff in your new home. You can get them almost anywhere, but some stores known to offer free moving boxes include Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Target, Office Depot, Walgreens, Barnes & Noble, Rite Aid, Dollar Tree, PetSmart, and Petco.
Firewood
The next time it gets chilly in your area, type “firewood” in the Craigslist free section or Facebook Marketplace. You should find some listings that’ll help keep you warm without paying a penny.
Free Samples
Would you like some free soap? How about free pet food or baby supplies? Whatever the item, you can probably find it at Freesamples.org.
Another way to get loads of free samples is through Pinchme. All you have to do is complete a profile, get free samples, and give your opinion on them. You can then claim coins to earn rewards later on that can be redeemed for prizes.
