CRAIGSLIST GEMS

I don't understand why anyone buys anything new ever. There is just too much good free and cheap stuff out there to spend your hard earned cash ever, ever paying retail prices, even if you are a bajillionaire. One great place to find cheap stuff is on line. I love perusing Craigslist. I find the site absolutely fascinating. Here are a few of today's "FREE ITEMS" hand picked straight offa Craigslist for you to benefit from on today's Bargain Master. Just bring a pal or two if you're going to pick something up or have a few pals around if someone's coming over. Another thing you can find for free on Craigslist, unfortunately, are serial killers. Happy free shopping!
