Trade Anyone???

Hello one & all...I have a new love. Bartering!!! For those of you that may be unfamiliar it is the trading of goods or services. This can involve zero dollars or partial goods/services and partial monetary pay. I was put in touch with a like-minded soul that I have begun trading negotiations with. She has several things to offer...home baked bread, fresh ground wheat from local wheat berries, organic onions, perennials, even an antique apple press that she will bring to your preferred location! All of these things are available for barter...she simply has more than she, herself, can use. I am offering up free range brown eggs, organic canning tomatoes, organic cherry tomatoes and sewing skills. Think on what you have available...outgrown children's clothing, winter boots that you purchased last season but no longer have that "fuzzy love" for, extras from the garden. Maybe you went to hairdressing school in your post high school days and you and your family love homemade jam. Maybe you are an organizational freak and would like to learn how to sew. Think on what you have to offer and what you would like...I will be sending an e-mail to let everyone know that there is a new posting here. (CANNOT figure out how to have this happen on it's own...anyone have the 411?)Respond to all with your "available" list (assign each item a $$ value) and your "wanted" list. Cannot get more frugal than free!!!
