I'm still bartering at the farmers' market, jewelry for produce. A nice pair of earrings can get me a month's worth of vegetables from one of the gal farmers. I may not be making a lot of money but I'm definitely well-fed.

If I could think of more people who'd barter, I'd love to. I'm working on trading bead lessons for housecleaning, although I think this is just a one-time deal.
