 I recently procured a couple of really nice bookshelves for almost nothing, this weekend I'm planning to make a family weekend event picking free nuts and cherries, and when my PTSO held a carnival we found games on Craigslist for free (not to mention nice booths for the school cafeteria). I've decided to redo my yard, and it turns out that there are several kinds of bushes and plants for almost nothing, free fences, and about nine hundred posts of free landscaping rocks. It's all a bargin hunter's dream come true.

One great parenting section on Craigslist is the community activity sections, where you can find everything from single parenting groups to open teen soccer leagues.  Another good one is the whole section devoted to selling kids stuff, from baby furnature to finally finding another outlet for getting rid of your owngrown clothing other than handing them down to your nearest relative. 

Just remember the old Craigslist adage: Deal locally, dont get scammed, and always trust your instincts.  The instances of scary things happening is extremely low with craigslist postings, but it can happen.  So stay aware and discover some creative  fun, or at least a great almost-new massive box of dolls heads for the whole family.
