From food and bikes to beds: XNUMX sites to find free stuff

Whoever said that nothing is free is just looking badly. With inflation still at its highest level in four decades, many Americans are doing everything they can to cut back on their spending, and one of the best ways to save money is not to spend it at all. Edition Lifehacker collected ten sites where you can find free things.

Just Free Stuff

Launched in 1997, Just Free Stuff has been providing people with free services for nearly 25 years. The site connects consumers with companies that are willing to give away their product in the hope of finding a new loyal customer. Gift categories include clothes, books, children's accessories, and more. In addition, Just Free Stuff often runs competitions for premium products. You don't even need to enter contact information to use the site.

Facebook Marketplace

The site, which is accused of destroying democracy around the world, is a platform where you can find someone's unwanted bike for free. Facebook Marketplace launched as a feature in 2016. Check local sales listings - they are usually available for pickup. It takes luck and diligence, but you might find something good this way.

Buy Nothing Project

When you search for the name of your city or area on Facebook, you'll likely find your local chapter of the Buy Nothing Project, an organization that aims to bring communities together to reduce waste and save people money.

Anyone with something to donate can post a message, usually with a photo of the item, and all you have to do to claim the item is ask for it and arrange for pickup. Depending on where you live and how active your group is, it's realistic to get some really awesome stuff, from wardrobe items for your little one to a bed frame. If you haven't registered with Facebook yet, then know that the organization is doing its best to log out of the social network and recently launched its own application for iOS and Android.
