DIY Care Package
Make yourself a care package of Best Friend & Best Friend’s “ready for a new home” goodness!
How this works —
- To submit your order, fill out this form
- Preference given to those who buy things, who want the most items (free and non-free combined), who get their form in the fastest, and who can pick up/be delivered to the quickest
- Saya will get back to you with what’s available from your list and if applicable, your total and how to pay (Zelle or Venmo)
- You confirm your order and pay (if applicable)
- Pick up or delivery is scheduled — Pick up in Wicker Park (near Division & Wood) | Delivery available for $40 (35th to Howard; the lake to Pulaski)
Everything listed is used and in very good to excellent condition unless otherwise noted. All electronic items work.
If an item comes in multiples, if there’s one price, all items must be taken; if there are multiple prices, you can choose the quantity.
There is a FOR SALE section followed by a FREE section.
Items will be marked TAKEN or PENDING once taken or pending. If something is taken or pending and you’re interested, still mark your interest on the form — some things have yet to actually be taken and deals fall through — you’ll be added to the wait list.
While YES!, Best Friend & Best Friend hope you buyyyyy thingsssss, it’s totally ok to just freebie yourself. Stuff to a Cheese-It home instead of a stranger’s, a landfill, or a “charity” who doesn’t align with your values is a much more desired scenario.
While you have your wallet out, feel free to peruse the Mac & Cheese Store and the Mac & Cheese Amazon Store (this ones great for seeing my favorite ______ — cleaning supplies, books, kitchenwares, etc. — if you just want recommendations). Start of year is a fabulous time for the Adulting Kit and/or to get on the wait-list for Speaker in a Box! Or to hire us to clean your home! Or get some “get your life in order” or cleaning consulting!
Saya looks forward to curating your customized care package!

- From Best Friend: “You can use this bike with the Echelon Fit app/subscription, but it’s not necessary. The much cheaper option that I went with and love: I purchased the QZ (qdomyos-zwift) app for $5.99 one-time payment, and this app allows you to control the bike with your phone and to monitor all stats—time, power level, wattage, etc—of each session from the app on your phone. I don’t get live classes from Echelon, but I do get all the technology/data about my rides. Here is a guide to using the app and setting it up with your bike”
