Need kitchen stuff free

[maggieeee]

I am new to the United Kingdom and looking for household items that need a new home but I am short on funds to be able to buy.

As well as on here (which can be a very source of free/cheap furniture, household appliances etc.), also check out Freecycle (Southwark has a group if you live within the borough, or else the Freecycle website will find your local group: https://www.freecycle.org/browse/UK/London).

Also have a look in the local charity shops for cheap pots, pans etc. Lordship Lane has several shops, including St Christopher's Hospice shop - all raising money for good causes.

IKEA is online as well as in East Croydon - source of cheap - mid price cutlery, pans etc. Lidl (Peckham and elsewhere) often has special offers on various kitchen/garden etc. stuff. And some of the supermarkets have well-priced ranges (Tesco, Asda, Sainsburys, Morrisons etc.).

It used to be the case that Freecycle want you to give something before you can collect, is this still the case?

I have never experienced being asked to 'give something' on Freecycle. Are you suggesting that they want cash?

Also, try Streetbank. You can offer, and ask for things. Just need to join.

Hi Maggie,

I have some pots and pans and a large bin that I'm getting rid of - they're in pretty good condition although they are a few years old. I live in Herne Hill if you wanted to have a look. They're free.

Thanks

Helen

I was always under the impression that the done thing was to offer stuff first before you started taking things.

Hi,

I have some free kitchen bits if you want them?

Just collect ASAP.

Never heard that, but I have always used it to pass things on rather than find things.
