Default Re: Things I don't pay for

Calendars - pick them up starting sep/to/oct at grocery stores
Address Labels - get them free through war amps
Condoms - Sexual health clinics don't mind if you take a few (when needed :P)
Prescription(s) - Cause of high cost, doctor gives me samples until I run out, then get more
Pens - At trade shows
Cosmetics - At trade shows (Life Fest, Women's Show, etc) they always give out so much
Shampoo - Always seem to find a coupon that allows me to get them free
Food - Through letting companies know of defects or talking to them to find products, always usually offer coupons, even website inconstancies
Calculators - Same as pens, they give out lots of small ones
Books - I mostly just use the library, I do buy some
Deoderant - Almost always find a sale to get these free aswell
Dental Goods - Toothbrushes, and special things like those tiny bristle brushes and dental picks.

When I go to eat out, I save my unused napkins and condiments for use in car or travel.
Like we save the excess butter from Swiss Chalet (they just throw them out) - they come in packets. Also at breakfast places where they have jam and pb in little packets, we save those too.


If I think of more I'll add it.
