Tips

In Short, the first real tips for saving money are:
Find new free samples etc on www.Shop4freebies.com, and sign up for daily emails.
Plant fruit trees for free fruit year after year.
Sell Movies on sites like WWW.FYE.COM
Sell Books on sites like WWW.POWELLS.COM
Free Sample sites Bzzagent.com ( http://u.bzz.com/8ei1y ) and www.Vocalpoint.com
Also, www.Swaggable.com (use the feed to see what people are wanting and trying and click that you want those items too. You are more likely to get these free samples. Expect 4+ months shipping time.)
www.pinchme.com (check mark that you buy all brands) I have an inkling that the majority of samples are pet products.
www.SampleSource.com
http://digitry.us/
https://www.mypoints.com?rb=23039559 Surverys, using BzzAgent and printing coupons through mypoints gets you points toward gift cards.
After printing your coupons, use the scrap papers for shopping lists etc.
www.Swagbucks.com
Free childrens books from www.imaginationlibrary.com
Become an "ambassador" on www.momsmeet.com. You get free samples to try yourself and are given extras to give away so you can gather everyone's opinion and report it to the company.
Join www.Plenti.com if you are an AT&T customer. Points from your monthly payments turn into cash.
Find a Harbor Freight Tools in your area. They have coupons almost monthly for free items (valued at around $5-$10)with the purchase of an item at any cost.
Learn to sew. You can save by fixing and making clothes.
NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE, THIS JUST WORKS FOR ME: Go on a diet (portion control), lose weight, and buy less food.

Sweepstakes: See my post "Available Sweepstakes"
Join Old Orchard juices fan club and easily get free products.
Email big companies like SC Johnson for free samples. Sometimes you get some or a book load of coupons.
Crowdtap.com (seems to be great if you are active on Facebook)
Do google searches for "free sample". Be weary of fake sites seeking your information. I went with manufacturers sites only and if there were items I didn't know, I went to walmart.com to see if they sold it.
Sign up for email newsletters of favorite brands and restaurants for coupons etc.
"Like" Healthy Essentials, Cost Plus World Market, and Scunci Hair Accessories on Facebook and get their latest sweepstakes info.

I would like to mention that the things I do to help the family revolve around a busy schedule. Some sites I noticed are tedious. I avoid that at all costs.
