I LOVE Freecycle!
I have posted about freecycle before, but I have to share yet another find! Spencer started a trial karate class up at the rec center and although they don't require the kids to wear karate uniforms, Spencer really wanted one. His friend who is in the class has one and of-course the sensei who is teaching the class sells them there. Well, I was already paying for karate and I really didn't have $50 to fork out for a karate uniform that wasn't even required. I knew there had to be some kid somewhere who had out grown their uniform and had it just sitting in their closet, so I immediately got onto the computer and contacted freecycle. Within 2 minutes I had two emails from two different people who wanted to give me their karate uniforms. Yes, for free! It is called freecycle! So, we headed to Simi Valley, that is where the lady lived who had it for me. We picked up a brand new, only worn once karate uniform. The lady's son who is 8 like Spencer went to one class and decided he didn't like it, so he had a uniform just sitting in his closet. Just last week I gave away a bunch of stuff to someone else. That is how it works...you give and then you receive...for free! I love this group. YOU have to see if they have one in your area! I LOVE IT!
