Share Some Sugar — Why buy when you can borrow?

January 25th, 2010

Keara from Share Some Sugar sent me sent me something interesting:

As a fellow DIYer I am always looking for ways to save money on projects that I’m working on. Often when I work on projects I need tools that I don’t have. Sometimes those tools make sense to buy, other times I feel like it can be a waste of money to buy a tool that I may only need once or twice. So I decided to start a website called Share Some Sugar. It’s an online service that finds someone in your neighborhood who is willing to lend you something that you need.

I thought that Share Some Sugar might be something that would interests your blog community members. They can go on the site and post tools and items that they are willing to share and also find tools that they would like to borrow, all in their own neighborhood or community. There is feedback on members profiles so people can see their neighbours’ sharing history. There is also a security deposit feature and a contract to protect both parties.

I look forward to connecting with you to help you and your blog readers save money through sharing tools.

Thanks,
Keara
