This weeks Gold Nuggets are all to do with stuff. Lots of stuff - some free some nearly free.
Gumtree.co.za
This a really helpful site. There is a freebie section where you can get anything from a puppy to building rubble. Stuff for sale is so cheap. I have bought wetsuits at a fraction of the cost and friends of ours bought the most beautiful furniture from a couple emigrating. Their house now looks like a House and Home advert. Whenever I need something, I always look there before heading to the store. The site even gives you the option of choosing adverts which are situated close to you so that you don't end up viewing adverts in Johannesburg.
Freecycle.org
This is another goodie for stuff. "An entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (and getting) stuff for free in their own towns. It's all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills." All you have to do is join the right group (a yahoo group) by entering the area you live in. They send you emails about what people need or are giving away for free. Some stuff is broken but then people take them for parts but there are a large number of ads that are really useful. Some of the items that have been on the list recently include vegetable plants, an old desk, stamps, second hand clothing and loads of others. The trick though is to respond immediately to the emails, as things are taken quickly.
Free Christian Audio Books
Each month Christian audio gives away one premium audiobook download for free. How does it work? They give away one audiobook download (that they have published or that a partner has allowed them to give away) absolutely free; available only during that month and only once, ever. There are also hundreds of other free audiobooks, lectures, sermons, interviews and podcasts there too!
What sites do you enjoy to visit? I would love to hear from you.
