I just wrote about how pleased I was to find exactly what I wanted on Freegle, the very next day after I thought I wanted one! Now Freegle has hit the spot again, but in a different way. Last week we visited our ‘usual’ beach...

My first day as a Freegan (minus the dumpster diving)!

Amy @simpleliving3251120 (497) • Manahawkin, New Jersey 5 Nov 15

Humbug25 @Humbug25 (12540) 31 Jan 11
