What great things have you found for free?

I won a $500 Gucci watch in a radio station contest a few years ago.

I love it when I get bumped to business class on planes (for me it's happened about 5 times, and mostly on transatlantic flights).

I won a whitewater rafting trip on the radio a few years ago. It was pretty fun.

My new obsession is cheap (not free) designer sunglasses. The PX has been selling Juicy and Gucci all for $39 a pair, compared to their $200-250 pricetags, it seems like a steal!

Best thing yet - chaise lounge for patio...

Go to this website and click on your county/state and join...

www.freecycle.org

I've give away much and received even more (probably b.c it is good karma to give away)

The concept is to keep stuff out of the landfill. Started by some crunchy granola folks in San Francisco no doubt but it is a fantastic thing. People give away furniture, appliances, clothing, toys - you name it.

I picked up a high end patio chaise lounge last week - matches my furniture really well and these are about $150. Not even a scratch on it.

I've gotten handbags, toys, huge bag of high end samples, lotions etc.

I've given away tons of baby stuff, household stuff. It is a win win for everyone.

Everyone should look into it and tell a friend or three.

I love freecycle when people ask for services or pets. Yes, those are things that you could find in a landfill. Morons. My mother is a new freecycle addict and keeps telling me about it. I have to remind her that I've been on freecycle longer than she has so I know these things
