You can fully furnish a home for free

It's true. I have monitored the free section on Craigslist for some time now, usually looking for some little thing I need, like free 5 gallon buckets.

I check Facebook Marketplace now and then. And I also check Nextdoor freebies now and then.

You really can furnish an entire home for free by picking up items, free, from nearby. I am including beds, sofas, recliners, dining tables, patio tables and chairs, kitchen tables, end tables, dressers, coffee tables, hanging macrame plant holders, chandeliers, light fixtures, bathroom faucets, toilets, etc.

Even knick-knacks and pictures are included. I did not neglect the outdoors either.

There are yard decorations, craft supplies, hobby items, even paint if you were thinking of changing the color of a room or creating an accent wall.

All for free. So yes, it's true. If you spent all your money buying a place to live, then this is one way you can furnish it.

So this weeks' menus are coming a little early because somehow I got off schedule once again.

(Josie, your email is on it's way).

I have some frozen limes that I will defrost so I did not need to buy those this week. Saving a bit here and there always helps. I got those limes from the nearby fruitstand off their dollar table last summer and there were so many I knew I would not be able to use them quick enough so I froze a bunch of them.

Why can you never gossip in a cornfield?

Too many ears.

(Now you can legit claim my jokes are too corny).
