Websites such as freecycle.org.uk, snaffleup.co.uk and gumtree.com offer good second-hand furniture and what’s more, it’s free. All you have to do is bring the van. In the past 12 months, Gumtree has seen a 49% increase in members using its Freebies section, and a 146% increase in the amount of those using the website’s Swap Shop. Freecycle has 1.5million members in Britain and claims to keep 600 tons of goods out of landfill per day through the 85 countries in which it operates.
You can also use auctionalfie.com for quick multiple auction searches, to help you find those bargains.
