ABCNews.com Says "Think Locally" to Save Big

From the article, How to Embrace Your Inner Cheapskate at ABCnews.com:

With kids items, it's especially OK; I mean, they are just going to wreck them anyway," said Gina Lincicum, founder of MoneyWiseMoms.com.

Think Locally:
Check out local opportunities for swapping goods. Sites like Freecycle.org or Freepeats.org make it easy for one person's trash to become another person's treasure. Advertise what you need on these sites and more often than not, someone in your local area may be looking to get rid of just what you need.

Looking to clean out the closet? These sites are also great ways to get rid of your used items while also giving back to others. "It goes back to that basic sense of community," said Lincicum, who uses the sites often.

Libraries are also an amazing source for saving money on everything from books to movies and music and may be a good place to turn for family activities as well.

Thanks for mentioning Freepeats, Gina!
