Hi I Am Going To Talk About Shopping Carts As A Tool To Help You In Homelessness

Some People Refuse To Use Them Due The Stigma Of Being A Shopping Cart Bum And Yes The Shopping Cart Makes It Quite Obvious

But For The Thick Skinned Who Dont Give Mind To What Others Think Of Them A Shopping Cart With Good Wheels Has Many Uses

1. Easy Storage A Good Way To Transport Your Belongings I Keep Most Of My Property In A Large Army Duffle Bag That I Strap To The Bottom And If I Have To Ditch The Cart I Got My Important Stuff And Basic Necessities Ready To Go Over My Shoulder

2. Finnancial Gain Look Around There Is Alot Of Perfectly Good Junk On The Curb On Garbage Day That Can Be Resold If In Working Order Or Busted Open To Salvage Scrap Metals To Sell To Dealers
Also With High Current Scrap Metal Prices Digging In Dumpsters Is A Worthwhile Venture Aluminum Cans Fetch 55 To 70 Cents A Pound Insulated Wire 40-60 Cents A Pound Steel 4 To 8 Cents A Pound And Weighs Heavy Too Brass 40 To 50 Cents A Pound Copper 2 To 3 "dollars" Please Note The Prices Vary From Place To Place" Here In The States Several States Have Beverage Container Deposit Laws Where You Get 5 To 10 Cents For Each Can But There Will Be Less Laying Around In These States As Well

If A Cop Gives You Heck About Stealing A Shopping Cart Just Say You Found It Laying Around And Were Planning On Returning It To The Store Also Many Retailers Will Pay A Bounty For Recovered Carts If You Wheel Them Back To The Store And Speak To The Manager find out which ones do this in your town and you practically have a job

Ah The Virtues Of A Shopping Cart
