From the I've Got What You Need! department:

Looking for a way to get the things you need or want without spending so much and without resorting to Walmart? Looking for a way to recycle those old posessions by making sure they will go to someone who will use them instead of sitting in a thrift store for years on end? Try Freecycle.org, a global network of individuals who are dedicated to giving (and getting) stuff for free. I've joined the Chicago chapter and am amazed by the amount of posts the e-mail gets every day.
