My Christmas came early this year, courtesy of Amazon’s kick-ass Amazon Prime service ($79 for unlimited two-day shipping). I got a new set of cookware from J–, who, despite the unintentional gifting, has accepted that I love my gift and will count it as a gift when the appropriate day arrives. (UPS left it on our porch and it was shipped in the original box; hard not to know what is was.)
Of course, since I had a slowly dating set of cookware, I had to get rid of it. Instead of chucking it, I FreeCycled it. The Ann Arbor FreeCycle group is very active and a great place to offload some of those things that aren’t worth throwing out, but you don’t use. I’ve used it twice, both offers, and had a response within minutes.
