Dont Spend, Swap!
Monday, April 20, 2009
In these trying times of the economy, Suzy is always looking for ways to save her pennies, and Twenties as well. Enter some really fabulous sites for swapping and trading everything from baby gear to clothes, to DVDs and games and more. Check it out....
The perennial fave that started it all FREECYCLE is all about community. You can post what you need or what you want, the only catch is that it is all free, The winner of your items simply has to come get them from you - or pay shipping if they prefer, and vice versa. Suzy has gotten a few random things from the Hudson Valley microsite and is happy with them. Someone else's Garbage is our treasure!
Teach your kids the value of things and some math to boot at ZWAGGLE where you earn points by signing up and unloading gear. It is a kid focused flea market of sorts and you pay for other stuff with the points you've earned.
At SWAPTREE you can post books, games, DVDs you dont want, and the site finds you hundreds of items to trade them for.
Another localized site is FREEPEATS where you can pawn off and find baby and kid gear locally.
