How To Save Money With Freebies

From Lee Seats, for About.com

Some people assume that you can't really save money with freebies. They tend to think that it's just a fun pastime. The truth is, you actually can save money with freebies.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 5 minutes

Here's How:

  1. If you are a shopaholic substitute ordering free stuff for spending money.
  2. Instead of buying a product that you have not yet tried look for a free sample offer.
  3. If you need some reading material check the free magazine subscriptions links in the related features below. These are full subscriptions, not trial offers.
  4. Check out the various free services. You can often use a free service instead of one you pay for. A good example is free Internet access.
  5. Check the free pricing services link in the related features below to find the lowest price when you do need to spend some money.

Tips:

  1. To save even more money visit the Couponing and Refunding site listed below.
  2. The Frugal Living site is also listed below and you will find many ways to save money there.
  3. Avoid trial magazine offers and other trial offers that you need to cancel. It is too easy to forget to cancel these and end up spending instead of saving.
