Cutting Costs & Coupons

    It’s A Free For All Out There …


    The one thing better than “cheap” is “free.”  And it shouldn’t surprise you to know that there are countless websites and businesses that are willing to provide freebees.  The leading sites are updated at least once a day and can also include Twitter, emails and newsletters as additional ways to get the latest offers in front of interested consumers.  Among the most popular sites are Shop4Freebies, TotallyFreeStuff, Thunderfap and YesAll4Free and you can find a comprehensive list of free sites at RefDesk here.

    Of course the saying “If it sounds too good to be true” can also apply in this environment.  Some sites balance legitimate free samples and certificates with convoluted offers that require additional investment of time and effort.  You’re also likely to encounter several pitches of questionable value.  Nonetheless, if you have a little time to spare, you should find at least a few offers of interest.  With Father’s Day approaching, even a free restaurant dessert for dad might be worth a few minutes of effort.
