I was chatting with a coworker on the way to lunch today and mentioned that I wanted Mr. Savvy to hurry up and get our truck running (remember our $600 truck?) so he could buy me some railroad ties to build a raised vegetable garden. My coworker then stated that he had some railroad ties, just lying around unused, at one of his rental properties. And even better, if I wanted them, I could have them. Yay for fabulous/generous coworkers. I don’t know know how much railroad ties cost but FREE trumps any price.
Have you been able to save money because of the kindness of a friend? If so, tell us about it!

Oh my, yes. Both my TV and microwave came from friends who were trading up, and would have tossed their older models otherwise. In both instances, they not only gave them to me gratis, but actually delivered them (immensely kind to this carless gal).
I would not have a TV or microwave otherwise; I don’t consider either necessary. They sure are nice to have, though!
