    Try the following link:

    http://www.freecycle.org/

    It is a community in which one persons junk is another persons treasure. It also appeals to those who belief that something still has life in it, or with a little elbow grease can be given a new life. It is also saving our landfills. You can find one in your local area, throughout Canada, the States and Europe.

    Everything is free. You will be surprised by the quality of the items that people are just getting rid of. Often, it is too much bother or expense to put an ad in the paper and maybe they just don't have the ability to take the item to the Salvation Army (or similar charitable organization).

    I recently assisted a new Canadian to completely outfit her new home through Freecycle. Nothing was junk!

    Give it a try and know that you are not only saving money, you are saving the environment.

    Do you get an worker decrease fee at objective? Then this is probably the place i might purchase almost each little thing. If there is one mattress and you have laundry centers on your domicile or on your development, one set of bedding is in many situations sufficient. Take it away from mattress interior the morning, wash it and placed it lower back on. If no longer, 2 is plenty extra suitable, and of direction it in no way hurts to have 2 gadgets of sheets in case something spills or stains and you do no longer take place to be able to get to the laundry that day. you do no longer choose better than one comforter, quite, except you prefer a wintry climate weight one and a summer weight one. in case you purchase a cover, there is way less stuff to stuff into the washer on account which you purely ought to bathe the disguise. For dishes, you choose sufficient to serve dinner to in spite of if many people you propose to ask over, and/or sufficient so which you do no longer discover that one and all your dishes are interior the dishwasher, unwashed, once you're approximately to make dinner. you should purchase gadgets for 4 people extremely much less high priced. purchase 2. you will choose dish towels, cookware, kitchen utensils, a bathmat. some table or floor lamps help in making a place seem snug. in case you're quite on a good funds, bypass save at Goodwill or yet another thrift save. you will be shocked what you may get for extremely much less high priced, even inclusive of gadgets of dishes.

    Ikea is a great place to get anything from couches to beds to plates and rugs. Even if you don't live near one it is well worth the trip! Affordable and stylish.

    Don't forget things like flashlights, batteries, light bulbs, screwdrivers, pliers, misc. nails and screws, plunger, extension cords and don't forget a bottle of wine and a loaf of bread! Good luck to you both!

    Freecycle.org is also a good resource! I use it and have given many good items!
