When I was in high school, my dad bought me a cheap, used car to get around in, and my mom flipped out. She simply doesn’t believe in used goods. I love her to death, but I firmly disagree with the notion that cheap is bad.
With today’s economy — and idiot insurance companies who’re using bailout money to pay employees bonuses, grrrr — cheap is chic. Cheap is smart.
But what’s smarter? Free.
FreeNapkin.com is a great site to find FREE stuff, some of it vintage (like a Scooby Doo lunchbox), some of it warm and cuddly (like kittens), some of it kind of odd (like a hydroponic system). It’s very similar to Craigslist, in that it’s organized by states and people post up items they want to get rid of.

The Best Auto Insurance
Finding the best auto insurance company would certainly help. But did you know insurance rates actually vary between individuals? Consulting auto insurance agencies is one way to go about searching for your low-cost insurance carriers, but is not necessarily the most efficient. Instead, look into the most useful resource for your car insurance needs that’s at your disposal, the Internet. The insurance portal gets the latest rates available in your area, and tries to match this information to what you’re looking for. So if you’re thinking of switching to a cheaper insurance policy, car insurance portals are the way to go.
what a great idea, wicked website, thanks for sharing..
