Craigslist Saves You Bucks in the Kitchen

2008_10_15-craigs-list-buck.jpgThere's a fair amount of Craigslist over at the main site, but we've kept it pretty quiet on The Kitchn ever since the site developed such a widely spread following (difficult to please readers across the globe with perfect, local Craigslist picks.)

But perhaps it's time for a reminder of how Craigslist can help you, in almost any place, save money in all your cooking endeavors.

 
 

• Drop the Nobu bill and learn how to roll your own sushi by taking a private Japanese cooking lesson (community > classes)

• Pick up someone else's well-used cookbooks for pennies (for sale > books & magazines)

• Start a catering or private chef business and spread the word for free (services > event)

• Upgrade to a KitchenAid mixer for less than half of the retail price (for sale > household)

• Tired of the idea of a "staycation" but need a little boost to get to Paris? Save oodles on hotels and spend your money on food instead by swapping your apartment for one in Paris (housing > housing swap)

Most of my kitchen "furniture" is from Craigslist: vintage retro yellow formica table w/chairs, vintage baker's rack and vintage wooden serving cart. Good finds, and plus, you get to meet some interesting people and their stories behind the pieces!
