Best way to stick it to your local council is to use:

http://www.parkinginspector.com

We use it at work to warn each other when our cars have been marked or a parking inspector is in the area. Saves us tickets and stops revenue raising!!!

Anti-Virus Software…

There are MANY free antivirus software programs out there that are not like the ‘retail’ versions for the simple fact that they are all usually “BLOATWARE” and include a lot of stuff that you don’t need or never use. Most of the retail Antivirus software, like NORTON, will make a decent computer run like a slug. Being in the computer business for the last 20 years, I can tell you that the one I mentioned has been proven to alert you with false positives during the last few weeks before it expires, hoping you’ll upgrade again in a panic state of mind…. don’t do it. Get AVG or Avast.. they work BETTER than most retail software.

Free samples! I get them from Wal Mart, Dove, just to name a couple. I have gotten samples of deodorant, toothpaste, feminine products, razors…the list goes on! You don’t even have to pay shipping!

i know i’m a little late posting this, but you don’t have to pay for diapers. i’m not talking about cloth, either — though i’ve learned how to use and like those; cloth diapering has benefited much from today’s technology. Rather i’m talking about Elimination Communication (EC) — also called “infant pottying”. Check it out on http://www.diaperfreebaby.org . We learned how to use cloth diapers with #3, and how to use EC with #4. If we’re lucky enough to have more children, we’ll EC from birth and will never go back to conventional diapering again. My daughter is 13 months old and i haven’t changed a poopy diaper since she was 8 weeks old — she prefers to use the potty.

@Andee – Good point. I was at the library today and browsed the DVDs myself. The selection isn’t as nice as Netflix or Blockbuster, but you can usually find something and free is always good.

You missed some more free from the library.

Most public libraries also loan DVD’s & Music CD’s, many for cheap or free.

You can also get free internet from public libraries – thanks to the Gates Foundation, most have free wireless access.

gym memberships and for that matter exercise equipment. you really only need 3 basic exercises: running,situps/crunches, and pushups. All of which are free!
