This lady was so mad that I had given the items away to someone else. But otherwise, it is a good program. As long as people respect each other, all is good.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 1, 2009 OT: freecycle I got one of my favorite cooking pans from freecycle. It's a large, stainless steel pan, very heavy and of good quality; it would cost a lot to buy one " new " . I got it from someone when our freecycle group met in a park for a " free-for-all " swap. Each person was encouraged to bring something (or things) to offer (anything one might usually offer to the freecycle group anyway) and then we were encouraged to TAKE away whatever we wanted. Anyone who left without taking something had to take his/her offered item, unless it was gone first. Anyway, I saw this cooking pot and really liked it. My quilt rack was pretty but at that point useless to me. I thought it was a great deal! When I got home, I found that my REVERE WARE skillet/Dutch oven lid fit the new pot exactly. (It's about half the volume of the Dutch Oven pot.) I use it often, especially when I make beans-and-rice. It's a wonderfully useful kitchen item. I am thankful for freecycle, although I try to " offer " more things than I recieve; I am a self-confessed " clutter-bug " and freecycle has helped me loosen up the hold that my " stuff " seems to have on me most of the time! (Notice I said I cook beans-and-rice in this pot? That's what I put in so this post can be " veggie-friendly " ! LOL!) --Thinking of making some of that beans-and-rice stuff! --Laura B., in Illinois Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
