[quote name='Megazell']Really depends on where you live and how much work you're willing to put in.
I pick up the free newspapers every morning here in NYC. I scan them strictly for free promotions. Mainly movie tickets, plays and amusement park stuff.
I use Googie/ig and have an app that scans Craigslist for me by my zip for the things I'm interested in:
Comics
Books
Bikes (I usually end up getting them and either reselling/donating for a tax write off or give them to ppl I know that need them.)
Computers *same as above*
Statues
Weapons
Musical Instruments (These I either keep for my family and/or donate them to the local schools and non-profits for a tax write off)
Model Rocketry
Lego Mindstorms
I'm tapped into any and all coupon systems in my area and spend about 30 to 45 mins a week clipping and printing coupons for food. On average I can take a grocery of $250 to $300 a month and lower it down to under $50 or less.
Here is an OK guide on how to get that started -

Also because NYC Park and Club circuit it always competing for patrons you can use that to your advantage and have a free event lined up every weekend for the family or strictly for the adults.
Been rocking like this since the 80's though so it will take some time but after while you will automatically draw this stuff to you. There is very little I pay for that is full price these days.[/QUOTE]
