Free cable TV

If you have high speed cable internet, You can get a cable splitter and a length of coaxial cable, and hook it up to your tv. This works because cable tv and internet travel on the same signal. You'll only get basic, though.

This could save your life

If you live in a part of the country where snow is a regular thing during the winter, do yourself a favor and find a large, open parking lot the next time you get an inch or two. Drive up there, and practice inducing spins and then steering out of them. At minimum, half an hour of this is good, but ideally you should do it until it becomes second nature for either direction at most any speeds. It's a lot more helpful than reading a description of how to do so.

Free phone charger!

Grate idea

If you have a partial loaf of unsliced bread left over, dont toss it out. Instead put it in a paper bag for a few days until it's good and stale ( if you put it in a plastic bag it will get moldy). Grate the bread with a box grater, then use the crumbs to bread meat or fish or to thicken soups. It's best to season the crumbs before you use them.

Get free stuff with the miracle of complaining!

Write letters or emails to any major corporation which sells products to consumers. Top picks are fast food joints, or prepackaged snack companies like kraft, frito-lay, pepsi, etc. Tell them you're a longtime customer but recently youve bought a product that was spoiled/broken/missing/bad service. For bonus points include a receipt of you buying said product as evidence.  9 out of 10 times they'll send you coupons for free stuff. Take an hour of your time to google the contact info for a dozen companies, and write out one blank letter that you can easily swap one company name/product/reason for complaint for another and start dropping emails. Free stuff will start rolling in!
