    Being a part of a Buy Nothing group has helped me get rid of things I no longer need, and I get to acquire new things as well that I may need.  I highly recommend finding a Buy Nothing group in your neighborhoods!

      I couldn't agree with you more! Thanks to Buy Nothing and similar groups, it's been more than a thousand days since I paid for clothes--despite losing 40 pounds and thereby becoming unable to wear most of my old clothes.
