I also got a fancy-schmancy coffee machine with a bunch of bells and whistles from an office that was moving, which I gave to a coffee-addict friend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535141909888580823.post-79111873126711486562008-06-18T18:51:00.000-05:002008-06-18T18:51:00.000-05:00My roommate and I once furnished our place with st...My roommate and I once furnished our place with stuff we got for free or "borrowed" from people who were going overseas. We also snagged a bunch of really funky artwork/decorations free off the curb when some fancy restaurant nearby closed down.
