I don’t pay Coinstar, as long as you choose to get a gift receipt/gift card in the end.

Why do people PAY coinstar to count coins when it is not a frugal thing to do? Count your own coins and save money!

Enjoying the blog. I also have to second the awesomeness that is freshening up clothes with Febreeze. As a poor college student it is soooo useful. One of my European friends said that over the pond they rarely wash clothes after just one wear.

Not at all. ReUseIt’s primary group base is in the United States. A listing of the USA groups can be found at http://www.reuseitnetwork.org/us.htm . The site currently only lists regular recycling groups in the USA while in Canada they also list Craftcycle and Plantcycle groups.

The RIN team can be contacted at RINHelpDesk(_at_)gmail(_dot_)com for more information.

Isn’t Reuseit more in Canada? I did include it in my book.

I’ll bet only 1 out of 10 have heard of The ReUseIt Network. Similar in concept to Freecycle with less of the politics. Numerous groups have surfaced for ‘free recycling’ due to issues with the owner of Freecycle. He has turned Freecycle into a money machine for himself and broken away from the grass-roots operation.
