Columbia (WLTX) -- If you want to make over your home, but don't think you have the funds to do it, we found that furnishing your house for free might be cheaper than you think.
"I've had people tell me that with the granite countertops and solid maple cabinets that kitchen's worth $20, 000," said Melanie Carlone.
Carlone got it for free and found it on Freecycle.org.
"I paid for a Uhaul truck and a crew of three guys to go over and pull it out and come and put it in over here. it cost me about 200 bucks"
And deals like this are right at your fingertips. Check out Columbia Freecycle.org. Once you log on, you'll need to join to get started, but the membership is free as well.
Visiting Craigslist.com can also get you more for your money. We found a girl's sleigh bed and 3 couches that don't cost a dime.
And if you're looking for something to do this weekend, you can check out the Columbia Museum of Art for free every Sunday.
