Your local Facebook Buy Nothing group or Nextdoor app is a firehose of free stuff. People constantly give away half-used detergent bottles, excess gardening seeds, and unopened snack boxes. It’s like a garage sale where everything costs a smile and a “thank you.”
I once got a full bag of free protein bars from a neighbor who bought them and hated the taste. I ate them all while pretending to be a fitness enthusiast. It’s not lying if you’re burning calories from digestion, I told myself.
