You don’t have a Really Really Free Market in your city or town?  Then it’s time you took matters into your own hands.  You ask, “what the heck is that?”  Well, you can read all about the San Diego Really Really Free Market here.

What a great concept!  My biggest regret is when I have items I don’t want or need anymore, but I cannot donate them. Here are some ideas for items that you can take to the Really Really Free Market

• New or partially used bottles of cleaners
• New or partially used toiletries
• New or partially burned candles
• Cords and cables
• Trinkets/knick knacks
• Full or partially used paint cans
• Wood pieces
• Canned or boxed food
• Leftover supplies after home repairs
• Offer goods and services from your business (baked goods from a bakery, haircuts, put on a little concert)
• The possibilities are endless!

Why not pick a day, go to a park (check to see if you need a permit) and advertise to all of your friends?  Start with social media, put an ad on Craigslist, start a blog…endless possibilities!  Sure, it will be small at first, but make it a goal to do it quarterly.  If you build it, they WILL come!
