Free Stuff for the Cheapskate in all of us
I am a recovering accountant who still sticks to his tightwad accountant ways. I am always looking for deals and free stuff. I created this lens to post links to deals and freebies that I find.
Enjoy!

Don't know how to be cheap?
Buy some of these books and build a "cheapskate" library. And if you are a real cheapskate - you'll just go to your local library and check out some of these books.
Recycle and save money with Freecycle.org
You can get great deals on stuff and clean out your basement or garage without having to dump the stuff in a landfill. Contrary to what their name might imply, Freecycle.org does not give away free bicycles or motorcycles.
Here is an excerpt from their website:
"It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns. Each local group is moderated by a local volunteer (them's good people). Membership is free."
So whether you are looking to get rid of something or find a "treasure" you can do both (for free no less) at Freecycle.org.
