The menu in the left-hand sidebar will now have changed, and will have a number of filters, one of which is the “Free” filter, and this allows you to see all the free listings in your neighborhood.
The items are all clearly listed either with a dollar amount, or if they are free, they are marked as “free”.
That is all shown in the image below.
There is another a filter in the sidebar which expands the search to a broader local area, so you can widen the search.\u00a0<\/p>\n
