Free Stuff: Where to find it





There are websites popping up all around us offering free stuff. Really! Not only will "free" add pennies back into your budget, recycling other people's goods is also good for the economy. Some of my favorite "free stuff" sites include:

Freecycle: According to their website the Freecycle Network™ is made up of 4,699 groups with 6,524,000 members across the globe. It's a grassroots (and entirely nonprofit) movement of people who are giving (and getting) stuff for free in their own towns.

Craigslist: Great for finding just about anything, Craigslist is also great for finding free stuff. Each of the cities that they cover has a section marked "free" under the "for sale" heading. (Weird, huh?)

Swaptree: Use this terrific resource for trading books, music, DVDs or video games! According to their website, you simply list what you have and choose the items you want to receive. Then just swap your items through the mail! Swaptree also makes mailing your item easy by allowing you to print postage labels right from your computer. There's no worrying about stamps, weights or visits to the post office. Check it out!

Swapstyle: Want to find your fashion for free? Visit Swapstyle. It's an online fashion swap party where you can swap clothes, accessories, cosmetics, shoes and lots more with people from all around the world--at any time, day or night.
