a nice month of freebies and recycle dive!!

[blueapple82]

Not a big brag but when it's all free.....

First pic. My best friend call me last week, telling me her cousin suddenly left for the States and she has to go clear her apt and ask if I want the baby exerciser? I said Yesssssss! (Duhhh, it's free! LOL) And who leave without taking anything with them?? Apparently it's the 3rd time this year!!
The pic i add is from Wal-Mart, mine looks almost the same but pink.

2nd pic: I was coming home from work at 1 am and as I was walking from the bus stop, I was thinking about all the baby stuff that I'll have to buy soon and how was i going to squeeze all that in our budget (just bought a house in April!)..and what do i see right around the corner? A baby bouncer from fisher price!!! Only needed a spin in the washing machine (with free clorox! LOL)

2nd pic, As we were checking out all the daycare center available close to home last week, I was telling my boyfriend that we might need a lamp for the dining room because there were no light fixture anywhere! (I was thinking about going to Ikea to check out the liquidation section) And again...on our way back, 2 block from my house, a lamp WITH the halogen bulb still working inside!! (sorry for the blurry pic!)

Pic 3 and 4...(Maybe i should think about winning the lottery)...I'm having a big BBQ in 2 weeks and needed platters and serving bowls, I was going to go to Dollarama on my day off to see what they have! As I was turning the corner to my street, I see boxes next to a garbage bin. I found a whole pile of Marvin comics (Being pregnant and clumsy...i ran home to ask BF for more help to carry whatever else that i might find!), As I was opening the rest of the boxes, it was file with candles, cups and kitchen stuff, so i only took what I needed (I took the serving bowls and Pyrex plate and left the rest to whoever might needed them more than I do)

I also got 2 baby PJs for free from Old Navy , got the coupon from my doctors office and my tenant left their fridge and stove...so now I have a better one to replace the old stove my BF hates with a passion (It's beige and brown and the front glass of the oven got crack during my last move...but it work perfectly fine!)

Today when we were going to the Canada Day celebration, I found a monthly bus pass on the ground..was not registered so can't return to owner. (Worth 72$) We gave it to my father in law who doesn't have one and he is on a tight budget (didn't got a lot of hours for the pass few weeks)


What a great month!!!!

My boys were in their glory. Have gotten alot of just like new baby toys there too! And I really think you should buy a lottery ticket lol

Nice finds, its amazing to see what people will just throw away when its in perfect condition instead of donating it so that others could get some use out of it. Luckily you were going by before it got picked up

We live in a throw away buy again society!!! With all the travel I've done, i find this sad, people in other country have so much less but they are so much happier! some of my girlfriends have so much (and spend way too much) but are so unhappy with their life.
You guys should see my neighborhood yesterday what with all the moving! a person in need can refurbish an apt with everything on the curb!!!!!!
