In these hard times, accepting free, slightly used items is no longer tabou.

If you’re ever looking for or want to donate good items for free instead throwing it out into our landfills, go to The Freecycle Network™.  According to the site, it is made up of 4,659 groups with 6,298,000 members across the globe.   It is a  “nonprofit movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns.”  The membership to this is absolutely free.  You can sign up by typing in  your town or community in the search box.  Walaaa!  You are connected with folks who are giving and looking for free items.

Happy Search, Happy Find!

This is a one stop deal.  You can pay if not all, most of your bills on this site and its absolutely free.  I love it! I absolutely love it!  No stamps, no stress.  I mean don’t get me wrong you can probably do it at your bank and I say go for it.  But this is free.  Some banks charge you a monthly fee while others ask that you maintain a certain amount of money in order to use their bill-paying service.  But with Checkfree.com you don’t have to worry about that.

You’re probably saying, well, why is it free?  Well, for most of these types of service out there, its all about Ads.  The more you visit the more money they get for advertisement.

And what I love most about mycheckfree.com, they email you when a new bill is due.

1. Go to MyCheckFree.com and sign in.
2. Add e-Bill info
3. Wait a short time for confirmation
4. Find this e-Bill on your e-Bills page.
5. Click Pay or Make Payment next to thi e-Bill.

You’re probably saying, “for as little as $1?  You’ve got to be kidding?!”  No, I’m not.  I have done it so I know its real.  My Mom was actually the one to enlighten me about this deal.  She said my brother traveled from NYC to Boston for $1.  I said, “WHAT!”  So of course I had to go look it up.  And, Yep!, its real.  I actually purchased one for $1.  And can I tell you the buses are no Shing-Dig buses, they are NICE.

Here’s the deal, if you purchase your ticket way in advance, you can get a trip for as little as a $1.  It is no secret and it is no lie.  I’ve actually seen these limo buses parading in the City with the ad all over the bus.  And its also international.  Megabus is in the United Nation, Canada and the U.S.

In the U.S., Megabus goes to Toronto, Boston, Phili, N.Y. Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, Washington D.C., etc. Check out the site and you may just find a bus to your destination.

I recently found out that a couple went to Toronto for $50 round trip from NYC.  And that was the TOTAL for both, round trip.  So say you have to go to your brother’s graduation in May or June and you know the exact date, book your tickets now and you can get a ticket for that deal or if you can’t Megabus may still be lower than your regular carrier.
