The neighborhood where I live is adjacent to a more upscale neighborhood. As a result, I come across some pretty good free piles. Here's what I came across on my walks this past week.
An exercise ball chair with stand. These retail new for between $50 and $70.
A Krups 12-cup coffee maker. Amazon has this model on their site for $199.00. I found the same model in white on eBay, used for $28.00
A Rival Crockpot, 5-qt. eBay has similar crockpots selling used for $30 to $45.
We picked up the ball chair for my husband to use in his home office, hoping it will help with his chronic pain. The two appliances are large for our household size. However, I know I can use the coffee maker when we have guests. Our current coffee maker is a 4-cup model. 12-cups will be nice to have. I saw the crockpot and thought of the holidays. It will be nice to have an extra crockpot for big holiday meals.
I think folks in my area are seeing these as the last couple of weeks to set items out in free piles before fall rains arrive. I'm grateful.
