Offers are usually of limited
duration. So instead of telling you about a free razor or dog food,
I'll give you several sites that have free stuff updated each day.
Most have newsletters that send out weekly updates to you so you
don't have to remember to check them. See if the newsletter mentions
any freebie you need, if not delete. I got my young daughter her
first razor this way.
Other sources of freebies are corporate sites where they always have
lesson plans and free things for teachers. Check the Government
resources folder for freebies from the feds and state government.
And there are several zines that help you stay frugal.
Also, whenever a new commercial site gets started, they usually have
a short lived free offer to get you to visit the site. Just be sure
and not sign up for all the subsequent updates. And of course, if
you are into coupons, go to www.coupons.com and print what you need.
Hope all this helps you keep frugal!
My very favorite site because it was the
first free site that was
not filled with sweepstakes and magazine offers. This one has real
free stuff you can get online. Well organized so you don't have to
waste your time.
What was once a site for free software, is now a
major news site with free
comics, newsletters and other family friendly new. ~Jube
This large site has a freebie section
and newsletter. ~Jube
This place has any coupon you
may need. I use it for ChuckeCheese when I just need a break.
Get a coupon, call a friend, and enjoy. ~Jube
Another coupon site, not quiet
as large as the previous site, but then no site has everything you
need. ~Jube

really neat comic books) ~Dawn
You can order a free month's
kit online. Mine came with a craft, nice puzzle, poster and
workbook.
This site has many freeware and
shareware titles. Remember, shareware stills needs to be paid
for after you download it. You can set the parameters to your
software type, and then to free, and it will only list the free
stuff. ~Jube
Check out the following website for
free educational games.
These are free to teachers, homeschoolers and tutors. We have
downloaded four of them and *love* them. These are registered
versions with no nag
screens. I saved them to a floppy disk then installed them onto the
computer. The games are in the areas of geography and math--even
Algebra ~Melinda
This is a corporate site which provides preschool through 12th grade
