The above are some of the websites I have found particularly interesting and helpful during the quest for a more self-sustaining and frugal lifestyle.

MORE HANDY LINKS & BLOGS

FREE eBid account - no listing fees or relisting fees, only a very small selling fee and the chance to save loyalty points for free stuff. If you'd rather trade regularly, then consider their special offer of £49.49 for lifetime selling membership with your own stores and buy-it-now facility. Frugaldom now has it's very own store.

FREE bets for all you matched betting fans, keep up with what's available where and when here

FREE gifts, you just pay for P&P - Just ordered my handy USB battery charger to replace the standard plug in type but I've taken up a couple of their previous offers. You don't need to buy anything else from the site.

FREE money making suggestions, links and ideas

FREE list of shooting seasons so you know what could be available for trading and when

Galloway LETS - Our local trading and exchange network for all sorts of goods & services

From buying a forest or woodland to following free and easy recipes, energy saving ideas or, even buying cheap food supplies online, this list will be continually updated. There's also a selection of free items and info, including a great vegetable growers' year planner plus sets of plans for an assortment of outdoor, backyard or garden projects. I used these as the basis for our pergola.
