Fabulous Freebies Are A Mouse Click Away
MIAMI (CBS4) ―
Who wouldn't like to get some free stuff right now with the way the economy has been going. Well the
CBS4 Your Money Team has found some fabulous freebies for things like free movies, meals, fitness and furniture - all just a mouse click a way.
Kristy Clarke is like a lot of moms with little time to cook. And she likes to save.
"It just helps if you can find a couple nights a week where the kids eat free," said Clarke.
On
www.kidsmealdeals.com you can find local restaurants that feed kids for free.
"At Denny's on Tuesdays and Saturdays between 4pm and 10pm we offer kids eat free. Families can come up, take it easy on their pocketbook," said Tim Farrell with Denny's Restaurant.
If you choose to stay home get free cooking lessons, recipes, create a virtual recipe box at
www.allrecipes.com or
www.epicurious.com.
A great deal for college students is
www.upromise.com which is basically a rewards system. A percentage of what you, your friends and family, spend everyday at participating stores, gas stations, restaurants and more goes into a college savings account. All you do is sign up.
Speaking of school save money on basic language courses by logging onto the
BBC website. You'll find beginner programs for seven different languages from French to Chinese.
With
Skype you can reach out and touch someone and it won't cost you a cent. It's an internet phone service where you can talk for free - local, international, you name it! Just download some free software and you're ready to go.
Tired of paying for information, then why not try 1-800-Free-411. You have to listen to a 12-second advertisement but you can get connected for free.
Another good deal look closely on
www.craigslist.com and you just might find furniture, gym equipment and more for free. If you're a penny-pincher but still want to explore the world, check out
www.couchsurfing.com where travelers hook up with locals who don't mind having someone stay in an extra room, crash on an empty couch or even pitch a tent in the yard.
And finally one, get free movies and watch old episodes of some of your favorite television shows on
www.hulu.com.
