Tips For Frugal Living: How to Get Free Business Cards & Stationery
Vista Print is a good way of getting free business cards. You can order 250 cards, that you yourself design online, and all you pay is the shipping costs, which are variable depending on how fast you want them. The best rate, if you are prepared to wait up to 21 days, is $7.95.
If, like many people who would read a blog such as this, are considering a sideline business to supplement your business, or if you already have one, but need new cards, this is worth considering.
Here's the catch: on the back of your cards will be a very unobtrusive little advert for VistaPrint offering the recipient free cards. You will also get e-mails every day where they advertise their promotions, which also includes more free stuff for your business! It's an annoyance worth putting up with.

Tips For Frugal Living: Change The Way You Buy Music
Tips For Frugal Living: Change The Way You Buy Music
As far as dowloading music goes, Emusic is a good deal. You can get 50 free downloads just for joining, and in my case, because I bought an RCA Lyra MP3 player, I was able to get 100 free downloads as part of one of their special promos. Regular prices are decent too, about $0.33/song. Compare that with $0.99 from other sites. They also have a deal where, in addition you can get 1 free download per day after the free trial membership lapses and the regular one kicks in.
Here's the catch: E-music is all independent label stuff, so you wont find the current big name stuff that HMV & Sam's are flogging in their big displays. You can get music from yesteryear that has been picked up by independent labels, as well as some good somewhat known artists on independent labels.
Their classical repertoire is excellent, with Naxos (being considered an independent label) recordings, and plenty of others.
Enjoy!!! It's inexpensive, good quality, and best of all, legal and ethical. BTW, you have the songs forever (no licensing restrictions) on an unlimited basis. so you can put them on as many Cds or MP3 players as many times as you like!

Tip for Frugal Living: Freecycle!
Tip for Frugal Living: Freecycle
What's better than getting a great deal at a thrift store or garage sale? Getting it free, of course!
Freecycle is an international organization thatacts locally. It helps keep items that in times past would have been thrown away, out of landfills, and finds people who can make use of them. The catch is that no money is to change hands!
It operates on the Yahoo Groups platform, and all you have to do is join your local group, and if you can live with the rules, which are pretty much that everything must be free, legal and appropriate for all ages.
Not only can you get rid of your own clutter and give it new life in the hands of someone who needs or wants it, or get stuff you need gratis, but it also gives you the opportunity to meet great socially conscious people in your own area!
