I use freecycle and freegle quite a bit. They're networks on which people give away stuff they no longer want, rather than taking it to landfill. I basically decorated my entire house from it: bed, shelves, TV unit, a piece or worktop I used to make a desk... some speakers... house plants... and so on. I also managed to source a free sofa bed, recliner chair, TV, and another set of speakers from friends and friends of friends. It's amazing what people have kicking about ready to be thrown away. I've done pretty well off free stuff!
With freecycle / freegle you have to give as well as receive of course. It's good though, there's a nice little community there.
