4 letters or 7 letters are both good (Free or Freebie). Remember to think twice before you give you your true identity (birthday, etc.) if you have concern. Get your free stuff with caution.

You can also find free stuff on craigslist. There’s a “free” section, depending on which city you live in this can be stocked with great finds.

Colleges can be good sources of bargains at the end of the year. If not free, then at least cheap.

The four-letter word title caught my attention, lol! Love that particular 4-letter word, though! Have a feeling that set cost even more than $100 new! Way to go. What a great find.

My daughter lives in a sizable apartment complex in Phoenix. There’s an area near the Dumpsters where people leave items they don’t need or can’t afford to move. It’s like a little furniture store and yes, my daughter and her husband have found a few things they need.
And the “free” box at yard sales is the first place I look. You can find all kinds of useful things there. If it’s kosher to post URLs, here’s an article I wrote for MSN Money’s Smart Spending blog, “Finding wealth in a frying pan”:

What a great find! Don’t you just love those days.

Being a landlord and having quite a bit of furniture items to get rid of we oftentimes also put the items to the curb with a sign. Most are gone within hours.

I was lucky enough to also get a metal patio set a few years back that was left behind. New paint, new cushions and it looks as good as new. Gotta love that!
