Why buy new when secondhand will do?

Second hand items

I have discovered the joy of buying quality items at half the price....secondhand! And I feel good about my "green" footprint as I am recycling by doing so.....so many people leaving South Africa advertise their goods on various websites at a fraction of the cost in the shops and I was excited to learn that we have our very own branch of freecycle albeit on a very small scale right now....my daughter's friend has just got a piano for free in London from someone who was moving and needed to get rid of it....imagine that! www.freecycle.org/group/ZA
