She brought me 6 eggs from her own hens. I call them "happy eggs" as they come from happy hens. They are petted almost as human beings. I had an extra electric heater and I gave it to her. It is a good idea to exchange goods. Claudia is thinking about having a smaller bed (she has a King size one) and she will give me her down bedding. I will be very happy as now I have 2 twin ones and it takes a long while to make my bed. I´m beginning to get proffesional at bartering. I want to use my things and give them away if I don´t use them.

Being so much at home has made me see clearly what I really need.

Bartering sounds good as it saves money, time and environment

Yes it does.. but sometimes it becomes tough to change things because of the cost.

@sjvg1976 logistics can be an issue....but definitely that would be cheaper than buying a new one

Several things have come my way and I have given others to the ones I love.

Yes that's always good to keep things which you may be able to use.

What you don´t like any longer might be a treasure for someone.

Do those "happy eggs" taste different?

They do. Those hens eat grain and veggies. "Normal" hens eat a lot of fish flour and the like. Here that is cheaper. But those eggs have a fish smell.

That's a very good thing to do, is use what you need. Enjoy your coffee.

Bartering is good. You can get something in return.

Bartering is a great way to get what you need and it benefits the other person too,

We have to buy a new bed shortly for the guest room. I'd give them a double bed but Vince says a queen bed which is fair enough although we'll have very few visitors that stay overnight.
