2. Unlimited Texts from your PC
If you have a Gmail or AOL email account, you can send text messages from your account free of charge. This is a great tool if you don't have a text messaging as part of your cell phone plan. These applications allow you to text any mobile number and receive texts through your account for free.
3. Faxing
I was extremely excited to learn about this site. Faxzero.com allows you to fax an online document for free to any fax machine. The free membership allows you send up to 2 faxes per day with a maximum of 3 pages. Unfortunately, this service does not allow you to receive faxes.
4. Cooking Classes
Stores such as Williams-Sonoma frequently offers classess taught by culinary professionals to demonstrate products. Classes are typcially offered on Sundays and last about an hour. Call to the store to sign-up.
5. Gym Access
Some gyms will offer a week long guest pass. It's usually pretty simple to get a guest pass. So if you have several different gyms in your area, you may be able to get a month of free membership just by visitng a different gym each week.
6. Home Workouts
Exercise.tv offers free workouts that you can view from your PC. Some of these programs include professionals such as Jillian Michaels. In fact, some cable companies offer these same exercise programs through their OnDemand programming. This is also a great way to try out an exercise program before buying the DVD.
Cindy, with the current economical situation here in our country, there is nothing wrong with being thrifty, frugal or even tight or whatever you want call someone who tries to save some money.
ReplyDeleteFreebies are a great way to get something you otherwise would have to pay for (mostly even quite a bit of money) but you also have to be careful about certain "freebies" that are a FREE TRIALS and require you to cancel in time.
If you miss the date, your freebie can turn out pretty expensive quickly.
Free WiFi internet access is one service I really appreciate the most. It allows me to stay connected with my customers even when I'm away from my computer and my regular (paid) internet connection.

Paula Jo, I'm always on the lookout for freebies and even free trials. I actually get excited if I can get something for free. I also make a note in my calendar to be sure to cancel any free trial memberships to make sure that I don't get charged. Thanks for commenting. Cindy
