Great FREE Sites!

Ok here we go! Here are some great sites that I have used and use on a daily basis to get everything and anything FREE!!!  This is so helpful as times are so hard and if you are not against used items-these are the spots for you!

• FREECYCLE
• This site is AWESOME!! You can access is by going to http://www.freecycle.com/   Here in Monmouth County, NJ the freecycles are mostly moderated by yahoo groups. You can go to http://www.groups.yahoo.com/ and then search freecycle. There is usually a small application form that the moderators use to insure that you are subscribing to the group for the correct reason.
• What it is
• Freecycle is a website/source that was created to limit the items that are put into the landfills. The idea is, why throw it away when you can recycle it for free (hence the word Freecycle) to people that can really use it! It is set up as a posting system where you can post Wanted ads or Offer ads for items that you need or wish to give away. The items vary, but some examples of items that I have recieved are: assorted baby items (co-sleeper, exersaucer, double jogging stroller, etc..), maternity clothing, toys,  and even a five piece sectional sofa in almost brand new condition amoung other items, and some items that I have given away are : the same double jogging stroller (when I was not using it), a wooden easel, bath items, etc.
• How it works
• When you have made contact with the person giving/recieving the items (via private email) you create a pick up/drop off point. Most people will send their address and leave the items outside with your name on it and vice versa. For those of you who are not comfortable with that method, you can always make a pick up/drop off place. I have met people at the local Target parking lot for example.
• Money Saving Mom
• If you are on Facebook, look her up and like her so you can add her to your news feed! She ALWAYS has great freebees and coupon offers. I refer to this "friend" every day, more than one time! You can also always just go to her website at : http://moneysavingmom.com/ and subscribe to her emails there as well
• My Free Product Samples
• Again, if you are on Facebook, look this name up and like her so she can add you to her news feed. She also has a daily email that comes out so you can go directly to her website thats found at http://www.myfreeproductsamples.com/  to look around and subscribe. She has AWESOME items that are usually totally free!!
• Krazy Koupon Lady
• This is another great side that I found on Facebook, you can like her and be added to her news feed, but she also has a GREAT website that can be found at http://krazykouponlady.com/ You might also recognize her from her appearance on TLC's Extreme Couponing!
• Pampers.com
• Don't despair, even if you do not use their products, you can still get items from them for free. They have a great program called, Gifts to Grow. All you need to do is enter codes found on products as well as codes you can find on the internet and you can trade your points in for free stuff! I have over 300 points so far and I have yet to buy anything from them! Here are the codes that I have used so far. Not sure if they are still valid, but you are more than welcome to try! http://www.pampers.com/
