    Default Craigslist Freebies

    I noticed today on craigslist someone was give away a huge garabage bag of like new Junior clothing away for free. So i emailed and asked if they still had them. You all know how much teen clothing is these days. Well they still had them and going to pick them up tomorrow. They are my daughters size. She is alarger size girl 17/18 so clothes are a little hard to come by free.. But the lady said she had 7 pairs of jeans several sweaters and plain colored hoodies.Some rock band tee's size 11 shoes ( my daughter wears this size) 2 winter coats.A few pairs of shorts tanks a few dresses. Shes said they were from the past 2 years if that was ok. Im like yea. she said that her daughter gets clothes from boths sides of the family weekly and these were in boxes. and i wanted to leave me my number she would call me when she had more.. UUMMM ok.. so after church tomorrow i will pick them up.

    what a wonderful score - you'll have to post when you open the goodies!!

    That is so generous. A few years ago, someone on Freecycle had extra test strips and offered to give away the extra. I asked for them for my daughter. Then for over a year she would email me whenever she had extra test strips to offer them for my daughter. The world is full of many generous, wonderful people!

    I love, love, love, craigslist and freecycle! I scour them daily, looking for anything that would be useful or needed by my family! It's such a big help! You got an amazing score! So happy for you and your daughter!
