I've blogged about getting two cat carriers and a nandina from my neighbor's trash. My husband and I once found a cedar chest at a condo dumpster, but when we returned to get it, it had been taken. I don't understand why people throw away useable items. Take them to Goodwill. Amazing. I’ve blogged about getting two cat carriers and a nandina from my neighbor’s trash.

I love to find things we could use especially when they are free! We like to go alley walking...it's amazing what people throw away. But like they say one man's trash is another man's treasure! When you are on a tight budget you have to be creative and I think her bed looks amazing! Cool! I love to find things we could use especially when they are free!

This base not so much, but the one back in Mountain Home AFB, that was just awesome. Every weekend we went to the recycle center and found so many good things. As a matter of fact the washer I have right now, was left there and it has been working perfectly for 5 years now. I LOVE summer on base.

I was ABSOLUTELY APPALLED to see how much stuff military families throw away. We try to sell our extras first, then offer them for free, then take them to the thrift store. And I'm just loving Freecycle here in the states! After four years of living overseas we are back in the states living on post.
