Great group for sure – I’ve heard about it but don’t trust myself yet to partake ;)

We have been decluttering our house the past two years so definitely down with Rule #2. We too have joined a local Buy Nothing group. I love it for giving away stuff that is in good shape but we just don’t use anymore. Especially toys and clothes the kiddo doesn’t want anymore because we get to see it go to a home we know they will continue to be enjoyed which makes it a little easier to get rid of. I have only given stuff on though, and have been good about not taking stuff just ’cause it’s free :)

It’s intoxicating, dangerous and incredibly helpful to have. The temptation with the group is to “win” the item but you have to fight it when you want to WIN everything even if you don’t need it. So far, I’ve used it for good but I have to fight it with every post I see. I’ve given away things I don’t need or use anymore like moving boxes and a kitchen scale, and gotten things like really cute new clothes and a toaster. Free.99 is my favorite price but as with all things, great power comes with great responsibilities ;)

That was definitely a good find and yes, I made and decorated that cake.

Well if you’re hawking the stuff then it’s all welcomed!!

No shame in that if you’re willing to put in the time! :)

(I have two items that I keep SAYING I’m going to sell but it’s been 4 months now and I have still yet to do it, ugh…. Good reminder to put it on the one-tweak-a-week list, thx brother!)
