Sometimes furnishing your digs can be a painful punch in the pocket. Before you throw up your white flag and make another charge that pushes you further to the black, take a walk around the neighborhood and look in other peoples garbage. Dumpster Diving is an excellent way to beat those crate and barrel blues and protect your pocket, not to mention a nice way to get some cardio, especially if you find something worth carrying home. Don't take my word for it come by and see our lovely bedroom set and new bar stools.

nice. i totally agree.
(isn't that also how TY retrieved a fine piece of pressed chicken?)
Also dumpster diving can provide a great team building activity. Like the time TY/TN and I lugged the world's largest (non-flat screen) TV three blocks and up his ever so narrow hallway. While a felt like we really "Did work," the TV itself did no work. So we pushed it down the stairs. We learned a lot about each other that day.
Never take large electronics off the street unless they have been properly tested for their ability to "be Work"ing
i've enjoyed the fine art of dumpster diving, but typically at the tail end of a gnarley bender and there are no bushes available (ie: while in the city)
Trash can diving is equally neat, particularly when there are perfectly good chicken nuggets resting on top.
