I've been using Olio to get free food and find new owners for items I no longer want.

I've used Olio to find new homes for books I've read, clothes I don't like, and sweet rice I realized I'd never cook. It only features corporate listings from the companies themselves, and users collect them from the establishment in question.

When Coco Gauff arrived in Paris in May for the French Open, she did not expect the tournament to be a milestone in her tennis career. Chris Evert predicted she would win a Grand Slam championship, even at 18; John McEnroe declared that she would be No. She loved Paris. In the semifinals, she unleashed the power of her serve — one of the fastest in women’s tennis — to close out the match. In the end, Gauff lost 6-1, 6-3 to Iga Swiatek, a Polish athlete, currently ranked No.
