Image for article titled Ten Websites Where You Can Find Free Stuff

Someone said there was no such thing as a free lunch. One of the best ways to save money is to not spend money at all, as inflation continues to run at a four-decade high, and many Americans are doing what they can to trim their budgets.

I don't want to spend money, but it's not like companies are just giving away free stuff. That is where you are wrong. There are places that give out free stuff. You might want some of it. If you want things but are not willing to pay for them, these websites are for you.

The best sites to find free stuff and giveaways

Just free stuff. Just Free Stuff has been connecting people with free stuff for 25 years. The site brings together consumers with companies that are willing to give away their product in order to get a new customer. The categories include clothes, books, baby accessories, and more. There are frequent contests for premium products, from an old fashioned ice cream maker to a Colorado family vacation. If you decide to sign up for their newsletter, using the site won't cost you anything.

There is a marketplace on Facebook. The site that has been blamed for the unraveling of democracy around the world is also where you can claim someone's unwanted bike. Facebook launched a marketplace. You can use your local listings to find furniture or electronics for pickup. You can get some good stuff this way.

Buy nothing project. The Buy Nothing Project is an organization that looks to bring communities together to reduce waste and save money. Anyone with a photo of an item can post a message and ask for it and arrange pickup. Depending on where you live and how active your group is, you can score some really awesome stuff, from an entire wardrobe for your toddler to a bed frame (some people might also try to give away stuff like an opened box of crackers; it takes all kinds). If you don't use Facebook, the organization recently launched its own app for the mobile platform.

The website Freebies.com. There are daily contests on Freebies.com. You need to have an account with your email address in order to earn ballotts and additional ballots. You can get into the Freebies.com Member Hall of Fame if you win a contest.

GoodReads is a website. If you want to become more well-read and spend no money on it, this Amazon subsidiary can give you free books. Usually entering for a chance to win involves little more than clicking a button, but you can check their tab for titles on offer.

The Coupon Lady is Krazy. The Krazy Coupon Lady, created by Heather Wheeler and Joanie Demer, has been featured on The Today Show. The website's stated goal is to help people lower their grocery bills, but it also has an impressive tab.

R/freebies. Incepted in 2008 as a place to connect its users to free products, this community is home to over 800,000 members.

I enjoy free things. I Love Free Things has been giving away food, baby products, and pet items for nearly two decades. It's not required to access their freebie directory if you subscribe to their newsletter.

You can post on theCraigslist. It has been around for a long time, and no one doubts its utility. The only limit on what you can find for free on the internet is what someone else is willing to give, and how much you are willing to go through to claim it. You can see what people are trying to get rid of using their location feature.

The person is called thePenny Hoarder. People on the internet who want to get as much free stuff as they can on their birthday are the target of thePenny Hoarder. You can use their handy Birthday freebie list to get 101 free offers to celebrate your trip around the sun. You can cash in on things like a free movie rental from a RedBox if you win one of these.
