How Many Of You Go Curb Shopping?

The towns around me are having their city wide trash day where they can sit anything out that they want. In some of the upper neighborhoods, they are sitting out t.v.'s and I saw a vibrating heat chair still in the plastic, you name it, it is out on the curbs and people bring big trailers and trucks and jam their cars full. It is unreal. How many of you curb shop and what have you found?

I do that all the time. I have for years. If it is on the curb then it is fair game. I have gotten a working 3 way lamp, a couch, 3 desks, 1 coffee table, 1 chest of drawers, and some children's books. You never know what might be out there. I think that is the cheapest shopping anyone could ever do! Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

Hi summerfire, here in the UK we aren't allowed to leave things like that on the curb on rubbish day..we would probably get a fine! rubbish day is just that for thr rubbish to be taken away...bb littleowl

That would be brilliant, we could both find something that we need or want...pain though as I live in the UK it's a bit far!
