Just taking a walk, sometimes you can find really good stuff in great condition. You leave something you don’t need anymore on the sidewalk, and it disappears to someone else’s home in 30 minutes. I grew up in this city, and almost our entire apartment was furnished in found items or neighbor discards.
“Today, we got super lucky; my husband was out on an errand and noticed a neighbor was getting rid of a fridge! We were actively shopping for a new one, since our current fridge is breaking. This found fridge is $1,000 new. We got it for free and got to know a neighbor a little better. A daily walk is good for your body, mind, AND wallet.”
