Find Free Stuff

Find Free Stuff

This is a great time of year for garage sales.  When you're out and about on the weekend, stop by any garage sales you might see.  Keep an eye out for the free box.  Most of the time these items are something for which someone else may be willing to give at least a few cents, if not even a buck or two.  The people having the garage sales, usually just want the items to go away.

Put these items in your own garage sale and make a few bucks, for free! 

You can also get free stuff on the internet.  Check out this free gram of fine silver.  It may not be a lot, but every little penny counts!

While you're at the garage sales, you might also look for items people are selling at a cheap price.  If you learn the value of things, you can put them in your own garage sale flip the items and make a few extra bucks.

Visit An Auction

Visit an Auction

Most cities and towns have an auction house that has a regular auction day every week or two.  Visit an auction and see what kind of deals you can find.  It's best just to watch, your first day out, and just get the feel of things. 

Once you get a grasp on how things work, see what kind of great deals you can get.  Perhaps you can buy a whole table full of stuff for a dollar.  Take it home, sort thru it, then have a garage sale to make some extra money on the weekend.  Or, if you come home with a real deal, you might be able to list some things on eBay or another auction site and make even more money!

Most of us try to recycle these days, and I'm sure you probably already know you can get cash for your aluminum cans, even if you don't live in a state that requires a deposit.

However, consider this, take a stroll down your neighborhood and see if you find some aluminum cans.  Especially this time of year, early spring, there are cans laying along side of the road that someone has thrown out of their car window.  I usually do this about once a month, and end up with at least a grocery bag full.  It's also a great way to get a little exercise and get out and enjoy the weather.

Today, I went down to my local bank and signed up for a new checking account. They were sending out fliers, open a new account and receive $100.  That's free money...and if I could make an extra $100 a day, that would $36,500 a year!  Wow!

Now, you're probably wondering, what's the catch.  For this particular bank, I only had to sign up for eStatements and use the debit card 8 times a month.  Sounds simple enough, doesn't it.  They even give you the first set of checks for free.  Plus, they give loyalty points.  So, down the road, I might decide to stick with this bank.  We'll see how I feel, after I receive the $100. 

The fine print stated after using the debit card 8 times a month for 2 months, it will take 5-7 weeks to receive my $100.  So, to me, that's money in the bank!

Look for other types of opportunities like this in your mailbox.
