What are the benefits of a Buy Nothing subscription?

Your subscription does more than support the Buy Nothing mission, it unlocks a new suite of personalization and community features designed to make sharing and connecting with your communities easier.  

Boost your posts to the top

Send any post up to the top of the feed to get more eyes on your Gives, Asks, and Gratitude.

Save up to 5 locations

Use Buy Nothing wherever you are. Create custom labels and viewing radii for each of your saved locations (e.g., “Home,” “Work,” “Parent’s House”) to manage gifting across your life.

Create Private Communities

Build and host your own private sharing circles for your neighborhood, workplace, school, or extended family.

Send group messages

Start a group chat to coordinate with multiple members at once.

Bookmark posts to save for later

Save posts to follow up on when you can - access them from your profile.

Choose “Simmer” or “Flash” statuses when giving away items

Let members know if you’ll be letting your post “Simmer” for 24 hours before choosing a recipient, or if you want to give it to the first person possible, in a “Flash”.

Choose 10 or 50 mile viewing radii

Further customize your view to match your preferences.

We're committed to ensuring that you see more Buy Nothing benefits and features during your membership, so you'll have better access to the things you want and can more easily give what you have in abundance.


You will also get a subscriber badge, which we'll affix to your profile: a green leaf, sustaining us all.
