If you need furniture or other household goods (kitchen items, electronics, furnishings) but can't or don't want to pay, find out if there is a freecycle group in your area. Go to freecycle.org and follow the directions to sign up. Once you join, you can request items that you need or offer items that you want to give away.
For example, here's what I've received from freecycle:
TV stand
plants
bread maker
sewing machine
And here's what I've given away:
broken washing machine
clothing
DVD player
desk
sewing machine
My favorite part about freecycle is that if you want to get rid of something, the recipient will come pick it up. No need to drive to Goodwill.
Disclaimer: My freecycle group sends many e-mails every day, so I use an old e-mail address to prevent my inbox from getting overstuffed.
