A $5 Bill Can Go a Long Way on Craigslist

Let's face it, money isn't exactly easy to come by. But in Redwood City, there are a few interesting things you can snag for a green Abraham Lincoln. Here are some cheap — and unique — items you can find on Craigslist for about the same price as a caramel macchiato from Starbucks. 

• The ever-so-necessary owl-printed pillow, used to give small children nightmares.
• Those vintage wooden chairs that will give your backyard the broken feel you've always been looking for.
• Those Wii attachments used to prevent yourself from playing actual sports.
• Those blue — not clear — pint glasses to hide the fact that you're drinking "adult" beverages.
• Chicken With Plums — not the actual meal, but the book.
• That playstation dance mat used to simulate breaking it down in the club, without the crowds.
