Freecycle Tuesdays: Five Free Deals in Melrose This Week [Nov. 15]

Take advantage of the Freecycle philosophy and pick up a great deal.

The Freecycle philosophy is simple: Offer something to others that you no longer need; take something off of someone's hands—all for free. 

The Freecycle Melrose group is one of the most active in the area, offering tons of great deals. Click here for more information on the group, or to find out how to obtain any of these great items. 

Here is just a sampling of some of the deals we found offered this week. Note: offers change all the time and are taken quickly.

3) Recliner: "Used this to rock my babies asleep...no longer babies. Would be happy to send a picture to anyone who might be interested. (still rocks and reclines - mid-dark blue fabric)" Posted by "Laura Clarke" on Sunday, Nov. 13. 

4) Snowsuits for babies: "One is red fleece, the other is pale blue with a velour exterior and quilted lining. Both have hoods and attached mittens and feetsies." Posted by "Betsey Benagh" on Sunday, Nov. 13

5) Carbon monoxide alarm: "Still in packaging; never opened. I have no use for it anymore as I've upgraded to the dual smoke/carbon ones that are hard-wired. I bought this a while ago and I can't remember where, so I can't return it. But - knowing that it's a beneficial safety device, it's yours for free!" Posted by "KFret" on Sunday, Nov. 13.
