I just stumbled on this great idea to network and recycle your stuff for things you need!

From their site: Zwaggle is a national network of parents who have come together to share. It's simple: You receive Zwaggle points (or Zoints) by giving your gently used things to other families, then use those Zoints to obtain "new" things for your family. Sound financially smart? Ecologically responsible? Like a fun way to provide for your kids? It is!
