I am delighted you found a group!

There are some specific rules to BuyNothing. But the idea is to foster community and giving and borrowing.

Our group, I noticed yesterday, has grown to nearly 2000 people and that's just too big. They warned us in early summer there was a split coming. I joined this group early on and have been through 2 splits so far, but have stayed in the the main group due to how it was split. i'm wondering if I will be in a new group soon, because I don't live in the main town, but a small one attached to it.

I have gotten some wonderful things: a brand new Squeezo for making sauces, 3 huge cabinets for the new house, a sewing machine, and dozens of other small things. I once furnished my m-i-l's new apartment through BuyNothing, in a matter of weeks.

It's a great resource!

Our group also created an associate page called Community where you could post things not allowed on the main group: meetings, events, services needed and paid for, lost pets, etc.
