Freecycle and similar websites

Went to the FREE Clothes and Books event today. Got rid of a bag of clothes, lots of coathangers and a big bag of books. Came away with more books.

The call went out locally, that the Dog's Home washing machine was broken and they were short of large blankets for the big dogs' beds. I rummaged around in the back of the airing cupboard and found an assortment of blankets and throws that I never use. Delivered them to a local lady who is organising a collection and will deliver them tomorrow.

IN came a Whittard's Gift box of teas - 8 different flavours - 20 tea bags of each. At one teabag a day I have free tea for 160 days.
Also IN 3 boxes of shelled king prawns.

The prawns sound far more alluring than the tea.  I see high tea in your future,  delicate prawn sandwiches with exotic tea, probably Earl Grey.

I've just been messaged by the "Prawn lady" - and collected them from her.
Apparently they're in a "Too Good to Go" collection from Morrisons. It costs £5 but is worth £10 - but its only worth it if you can use everything. She's just given me a pack of prawns (£2.39), 2 tubs of cottage cheese (£1.50 each), a carrot cake (£3), 3 boxes of macaroons (£5 a box), 3 avocadoes (89p each) and 5 bags of fresh herbs (Basil x 2, mint, parsley and dill - 70p each).
She said she always gets prawns but they don't eat them but she had some lamb yesterday which was good.
I'm doing well for FREE food this week.
